Self Evaluation Research Paper

which I wasn’t expecting.  So on the side of beginning my BSN program this week and figuring all this out, I am finalizing a speech to give today in front of about a thousand people.  Here it goes for public speaking!

One of the hardest skills in communications, is creating a thoughtful and engaging speech that not only entertains, but informs the audience. In my opinion, I believe my informative speech about Overfishing was good, but not great. My organization, research, and rehearsal could have been much tighter and some details were overlooked in my excitement when trying to present.

One of the things I noticed in my speech was how many times I looked at the screen. I didn’t realize how many times I looked at my prop until I watched myself on video. It was distracting and took away from what I was saying to my audience. Additionally, I feel like I could have improved speaking about the different experiments performed. I feel like they were rushed and I should have stuck to talking about only one or two experiments instead. With my time being rushed, I feel like I couldn’t explain as much of the experiments as I wanted to or as in depth. Lastly, I should have worked on the conclusion for my speech. I wasn’t able to come up with a good conclusion, so it felt as if I left some of the speech left hanging. I mentioned ethical issues performed in the experiments without actually going over it in the speech. Next time, I know I will come up with a solid ending and just wrapping up ideas I already went over in class. I know that for my persuasive speech, I will work on my eye contact, slowing down, and coming up with a solid ending.

- What I did well during my speech was looking at my audience. I was always facing my audience and have a quick view to my PowerPoint. I believe I did well on these aspects because I wasn’t like the other students always looking at the PowerPoint and not even facing the audience. I know this is a public speaking class and the point is to talk to our audience while facing them.

Well, the speech was really fun to prepare for it, even though the grade is not what I expected. It pretty awesome too when giving the speech because I can see the audiences inner desire. And their laugh and some smile, it shows it all. I got their attention when I first open up the slide because that was the moment when our generation mostly looking for. And that was love, but that not what they expected. I was laughing inside because of that. While giving the speech, I notice I made too many mistakes and know what my weakness, strength is. I can see my strength in organizing my speech with the step of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence because of that my speech went a lot smoother. In addition to that, I was able to get my points across the audience. The thesis of my topic was easily understood by the audience because my earlier slide about finding love caught their attention. That was brilliant, but I can see that my transition is not smooth on every slide. And that is my weakness I have to work on. It's still not as bad as my communication because I know that I’m quadruple-lingual. That make it really hard for me to speaking

The presentation indicates the results of PAMS, which reflects to my own, and others’ perceptions towards my management skills. To be honest, before attending this class, I am very proud of my past performance and even self-definite to be a manager at the age of twenty-three, and as my boss/father would say, that I am "being the right person doing right things and in right ways", though most often trying to be as humble as possible while wearing workout clothes to our small office in DTC. However, after finishing the Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS), as well as comparing the result with the reports from the PAMS Associates (one current employee and one past coworker/good friend for the survey) and with the average of the

Today I gave my informative speech and I think it went pretty well. To prepare for my speech I did numerous things. The first thing I did was I started researching the history of Alton. After I had researched I decided on what I wanted my points to be over bases off what I found out. After that I began to write my speech. I changed things and re wrote things a few times because my first version didn't make a ton sense. When I was up in front of the audience I felt nervous. I wasn’t as prepared as I wanted to be. I wasn’t expecting to go today. There were six people in front of me and when four of them were gone or not ready to go I panicked a little bit. When I was done giving the speech I was glad it was done, but I wish I had done better.

When I gave my speech, I felt confident. I don't exactly have a fear of public speaking- anyone who knows me could tell you that. I looked out to the entire audience for the entire speech because I didn't use note cards. I also kept my energy up throughout the speech which helped keep the audience focused on the speech. I made some jokes, and the audience laughed at most of them, which was a good feeling. But because I failed to fully memorize the speech, there were times that I was left trying to figure out the exact phrasing, which took away from the performance slightly, even though I don't believe it was that big of a deal. I also made a pun by ending my speech with "My speech is all ogre now" and very few people caught it. This was probably due to my poor

When it was brought to my attention that I was selected to give a speech, I freaked out. Throughout my four years of high school, and most definitely before that, I have loathed all of the moments where I had to speak in front of others. I could never seem to make those butterflies in my stomach dissipate and I would zoom through my presentation. This transpired whenever I presented, and, as my former English teacher Ms. Keisha Tooks-Riley put it, I would always ‘take that L.’ However, standing here, I hope to turn that L into a W today.

The informative speech that I presented on Friday, which was about how to make gingerbread cookies went better that I though. I succeed in some aspects of the speech in others not. I still have couple points that I need to improve for my next speech and I hope I do much better than I did. The aspects I effectively accomplished in my speech were; good organization, good preparation, appropriate tone of voice and good eye contacts. The weakness points that I need to improve or perfect are the anxiety that I had, the topic of my speech and my body language.

This self-change paper will outline my educational evolution, particularly with emphasis on improving future educational and career goals. I will also implement a time-line for the educational goals, and my personal development to achieve them. The foundational effect of my initial educational experience starting in the New Orleans public school system. A brief summary of life experiences between high school and attending ACC, and the impact they left on my life. I will explore the new revelations of the results of my academic strengths and weaknesses, from the several assessment test taken during this past semester. Finally I will expand on my self-change contract,

Since I had the opportunity to record my speech, I was able to point out the strengths and opportunities for improvement more easily. One of my strengths is that I managed to speak at a normal pace. I tend to speak faster than usual when I am nervous because I want to finish in the shortest amount of time possible. In this speech, I was able to maintain a normal talking speed which helped to make my speech more listenable. I also used stimulus through my hand motions. It was not overbearing which can often happen but it was enough to make the delivery of my speech a better one. An opportunity for improvement that turned into a strength was the pause in my speech, I forgot what I was originally going to say but, I managed to

Later that day, we all gathered at the chamber, some of us were apprehensive to be on the stage to present our speeches. All too fast it was my turn and I got to say that I actually did a great job. I was a nervous wreck but managed to present my case with a calmness in my voice. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me as they listen carefully to what I had to say. Surprisingly, I didn’t fail, though I didn’t get to say all of what I had on my paper since there was a time limit. I still ended at a good part, it even sounded like it was supposed to be the end of my speech.

The next aspect of my speech that I focused on was one that I noticed when I listened to my audio was my visual directness. I felt as if I was very prepared the night before, but when I got up there to present, I

I like how you link evidence based practice to critical appraisal, it brought a new way of understanding the evidence practice to me. Critical appraisal enables the researcher to identify the documents that have reliable and unbiased evidence and whose proposed action or change will lead to the desired goals. Great
