1. There wasn't a difference between my self assessment and the peer review. I dressed appropriately, participated in our group, and helped make the posters. I can't actually remember if there was anything different on the poster presentation though. I do feel that every poster and peoples taste in how a poster should look is different so I will have to leave that assessment up to you.
2. I feel like the recommendations made by the other peers were accurate and also that the information that Jen provided us was covered in other portions of the presentation. However her information about the pump is accurate and was very informative and should be included and more in depth. The one thing I did not agree with is that nobody uses a food log. Just because she personally does not use a food log doesn't mean that other people don't.
3. I think that more information should be provided for people that already have pumps and we should possibly make a flier or pamphlet about new and upcoming pumps that download to computers and phones etc.
4. I feel like there were more advantages to using a group to learn about diabetes and help make a presentation. I feel that it would have taken longer to cover the information separately, we learned how to work together and include everyone's ideas into the presentation, it aided in team work and compromise. Disadvantages were we all have different ideas so not every idea was able to be put into the presentation. I think it was really fun and helped me to get to know other people then just the people in my clinical group.

    Diabetes mellitus is a condition created by the inadequate secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that allows your body to use carbohydrates or store them for future use. Inadequate amounts of insulin causes a condition called hyperglycemia, which is an excessive amount of glucose in the blood stream. When the blood is filtered through the kidney, a large of amount of glucose is retained in the filtrate and a large amount of it cannot be reabsorbed and is excreted out as urine. The large amount of glucose within the filtrate changes the osmotic pressure within the nephron, which reduces the amount of water that is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. The sample with diabetes mellitus should hypothetically result in the sample of urine turning orange after 10 drops of Benedict’s Solution was added and the sample was heated. The sample turning orange after the Benedict’s Test was done on the sample would mean that the sample tested positive for…

    Through this group assignment, I really learned much. First, I realize that I should learn more about finance and accounting .when talking about the last part in presentation during discussion, I cannot participate in the debate, and even do not know what they said when comes some proper nouns. Although my major is logistics, it is good for me to learn more about other subject knowledge such as finance and management. Second is although we had discussion many times, we were inefficient and wasted much time. We supposed to have a target or task for each discussion, and leader need to coordinate the meeting. In addition, democracy does not work every time in small group, everyone has a different idea and wants to persuade others, which is the reason that a good leader is very important for a team, so that I should start to train leadership skills. Third is that unity and cooperation are essential to a good team. Team members need to work for…

    So far in my project I have gone to the library and looked online. I got a lot of great information from books and the articles I have read. I chose an exhibit because I like to be creative and my information is neater on an exhibit. Also I think it is more interesting to see the information displayed on an exhibit. I am doing an individual project because I work better alone. In a group I would be with friends so I would not get as much done and not learn as much. If I had done my project in a group then you don’t always know if they are going to be a good group member and help.…
