cell phone etiquette

Yes, my supervisor gives very good instructions she also doesn't play when it comes to the cell phone usage. She also gives the instructions very clearly.

workplace safety

Some hazardous equipment that i work with is the coffee machine and the coffee equipment.

what i have learned about the profession is to stay away from hot areas and be careful when make hot coffee. I really don't work with anybody at my placement, but what I've have learned about the person at my placement is that i should worry about myself and do and continue doing my job. The positive experience i have had was that some of the customers was very respectful, and some negative experience i have had was that some of the customers was very disrespectful. What I look forward to in a couple of weeks is that I will better myself in being a good salesperson and help myself do good at my actual job by respecting and being polite to customers even when they are rude.

attitudes

I think and I feel that I have a positive attitude. Working at Jittery Joes for my service learning is an good experience for me because I'm working with a cash register and I'm serving customers. I work at subway and I serve customers and have to work with a cash register. So while I'm at work I have to keep an positive attitude reguardless because without a positive I won't do good job at my real job. Having an bad attitude at work will not help me get anywhere in a career. When I go to work to do a job and I have nasty look on my face then that will say I don't need to be at work if all I'm going to do is be nasty and rude to customers. So if when i go to work i shouldn't let whats outside of my job get the best of me when i'm at work because i can end up getting fired. So when I'm working I will always have the best attitude and I'm going to the job right because i can get complained on because i have a nasty attitude towards the customer.




I feel that the attitudes around me influenced me to be better than what I am, because I have seen so many people get fired and quitted because they were rude to customer.Some people go to work and they bring their personal lives into the job with them and let the best get to them. So that influenced me to leave my personal life outside of my job and school. When it comes to me doing work I will always have a positive and wonderful attitude I love my job like it was my life I can't afford to lose my job.

identifying your learning style

Topic 4: WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?



We all learn in different ways. Most people have a preferred or favorite method of learning new information. In this lesson, you will identify the style of learning that enables you to process information best. Let's get started . . .



Task One: Taking a learning styles inventory - Click on the following Learning Styles Modality Preference Inventory link. Copy the entire document into a new Microsoft Word document that you can save in your "My Documents". Your instructions for how to complete each page are listed below:



Page 1 directions: Read each statement and select the appropriate number response as it applies to you. If what is being described in the statement is true for you "often", write "3" beside that statement. If what is being described in the statement is true for you "sometimes", write "2" beside that statement. If what is being described in the statement is true for you "seldom or never", write "1" beside that statement. You should have a number beside each statement. Choose a best response and do not leave any blank spaces.



Task Two: Identifying which type of learner you are and the way you learn best.Page 2 directions: Read each of the profile descriptions of the three types of learners. After reading each, identify which one describes the way you learn best. Often people can identify with the decriptions given with more than one type of learner. For this task, please choose the one with the most statements that describes you.



Task Three: Once you have figured out the way you learn best, you will need to learn some strategies to enhance your way of learning.



Page 3 directions: Read the list of suggestions of things you can do in class and/or at home to help you learn and retain information and ultimately be more successful in school that fits the learning style you identified in Task Two.



Task Four: Creating a plan of action to help you learn better.



Page 4 directions: For each of the courses that you are currently enrolled in, make a list of of five actions that you can begin taking on a consistent basis to improve your learning in those courses. Type your list under the heading that fits your learning style. For each action, indicate when you will start taking this action and how often you will perform that specific action. For example, if you are a visual learner currently enrolled in a mathematics course, you may need to begin taking better notes and allowing your teacher to review your notes with you to be sure that you are writing down all of the important information. This action needs to happen every day.



Make sure that you save your completed document in your "My Documents" as "your name

Topic 4 Learning Styles Inventory" and place a copy of this document in your advisor's dropbox. Notify your advisor when these task are completed.

Task #1 First, let's take a little inventory of your present study skills. Examine the list of study skills below. Next, choose one or two skills you would like to improve. In a short paragraph, tell which skills you chose and why. Post your response on your blog.





1. Get to class on time -- it takes more of your time to catch up than to keep up. Vital instructions needed for the swift completion of your tasks are often given during the first minutes of class each day. Missing them means extra effort and wasted time.





2. BE PREPARED -- have pen/pencils, paper, pacing guides and assignments handy. Can't get things done if you can't get started or delay starting because you don't know what to do. Worse yet, ever complete a lesson in NovaNet you didn't have to do? Having the pacing guide handy can save you a lot of time and effort. Work smart; be prepared!





3. Take good Notes -- taking good notes doesn't necessarity mean taking more notes. On the contrary, writing less is usually more effective. Write down only key words. Use abbreviations for long words. Make up a shorthand or code for words (if you send text messages, you already have plenty of practice). You know, "formulas are your friends." Think about it. They are the ultimate shorthand. And, " a diagram is worth a thousands words." Put a date on each page of notes to make organizing them as simple a 1-2-3. As a result, you will be able retrieve facts quicker, cut down on study time, and learn more in less time.





4. Get Started -- it's easy to put things off "until tomorrow," but it's silly to wait three days to do an assignment that could only take you only 30 miniutes to complete. That's working harder not smarter. It's called procrastination. There are a lot of reasons why we procrastinate. Work on this skill. Get into the habit of starting tasks without thinking (and worrying) about them first. The sooner you start, the sooner you finish.






5. Finish - finish whatever you start whenever possible. It is much easier to take a few extra minutes to finish a task than it is to quit and restart. Just rebooting your computer and opening NovaNet can take longer than it would to simply finish a NovaNet lesson or test when you had the chance.






Task #2 Click here to open a website dedicated entirely to improving study skills. Here is a chance to work on improving two skills that most people ususally need to work on -- how to take notes and combating procrastination. You will complete this task in two parts.


Part a. From the main menu, click on the lesson Taking Notes in Class. Read the lesson, take notes, and then list 5 things you can do to take better notes. Post your list.
1.by listening harder

2.paying attention

3.follow directions more

4.

5.

Part b. Now, go back to the menu and click on the lesson labeled Procrastination. Again, read the lesson, take notes, and then list at least 5 things you yourself are willing to do to control excessive procrastion. Post your list.
When you have completed both Task #1 and #2, notify your advisor that both tasks have been completed.

1.work on task as part of a study group

2.get help from students or teachers

3.find a good place to work on task

4.reward myself whenever i complete a task

5.commit myself to completing a task one at a time




Task #3 Blog Post: Service Learning Weekly Journal. Continue to write a one or two paragraph blog post that discusses your experiences thus far at your service learning placement. Be sure to write using complete sentences, proper capitalization, and proper grammar. You may want to include some of the following in your journal.

study skills can help me at my placement by letting me work by myself. what i learned about profession is that i should do better if i want profection in my work and that is by taking my time doing my work and paying attention,following direction,and not letting drama interfere with my work. I learned to work with people in my placement because it and they will help me get far in my work as long as there isn't any procrasination. My positive experience i had is that its a good thing that i learned about procrasination cause I do that a lot.

* how good study skills can help you at your placement
* what you've learned about the profession
* what you've learned about working with the people at your placement
* any positive experiences you've had
* any negative experiences you've had* what you look forward to in the coming weeks
