Curricular Response

The greatest strengths of my presentation was how I presented. In my presentation I was able to talk about a well known phobia and why phobias exist while also connecting my presentation to moments in movies. This helped give an example of why this fear is commonly felt and then how it is represented. The next time I complete a presentation of this style where one chooses their own topic and has a lot of leeway within the guidelines I would change some things. In the future I will set better deadlines throughout working on similar projects to make sure I keep on track with my work. I would also put in some more scientific research and connections which will showcase similarities and contrasts clearly.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

My topic for “Show and Tell” was the fear of hospitals and I chose this topic quite randomly. I had just recently been in and out of a lot of hospitals and while I may not fear them it made me think of some binary opposites which made the topic intriguing. I also was just aware that hospitals and death are a common fear so I thought it may be a good choice of topic as it could be relatable to many people. The strategies I used to collect relevant information were pretty basic. I looked at multiple sources and different kinds of media to make sure I covered all different kinds of information. I also compared different sources to make sure the information was relevant and good.
