My Very First Experience in Completing an Assignment
I am currently a student taking “Language Description Course” in Open University Malaysia at Sandakan Branch. The aim of this course is to analyze grammar and describe relevant grammar rules. I started this course from January 2013 and to demonstrate what I have learnt on the HBEL 1203 Language Description Course I have to fulfill an assignment. I have to select an authentic text in the printed media such as newspaper, magazines or journal of a reasonable length and then I will have to identify one word for each type of verb from the authentic source that I have selected. After identifying the correct type of verb, I have to explain clearly the criteria used in identifying them according to the context.

The first briefing of this assignment happened in an afternoon class which was my second tutorial session. The class tutor explained to us how to go on with the assignment. AS the tutor started talking about this assignment I felt so nervous that suddenly I got the feeling I will not be able to finish this assignment. In my nervous state I fumbled my book, papers, and stationary all the while stumbling over the assignment questions on my mind which was not making any sense to me. But my classmates were really understanding, as they were old students who were aware that I am new to this subject and so they tried to calm me down, all the while the tutor was still giving her explanation on how to go about completing the assignment. I sat at the back of the classroom trying to understand the task in the assignment and I left the session as soon as the class was over without speaking to anyone.

I felt so miserable at that time that I started to think about quitting the course. I was upset with my own self because of my inability to understand the task even after the class tutor explained clearly in front of the class. I started to think that I need some time to be alone that would help me get over my nervousness. I was so mortified that I rang in sick the

    Franklin D. Roosevelt's Inaugural Address

    I had arrived so early that only one other person was waiting. He remarked, "We still have a half an hour to wait, I guess we should not have been so early!" Eventually, the instructor arrived and everyone went in and sat down. Once we were all seated I was reassured to see other people my age in the class. It was a great feeling once class got started. The instructor seemed helpful and encouraging. After the class was over, all the distress and fear I had possessed before class had gone and was replaced with a new worry, a healthy one that gave me confidence and made me feel driven.…

This presentation introduced the topic, looking at my it is important in clinical areas, when hand washing should be used, where I should be washing my hands and we was also shown the correct technique that should be used for effective hand decontamination. After looking at the theory behind the topic we went into a mock clinical setting to practice the technique. We were separated into smaller groups, in these groups we took it in turns to wash our hands, following the correct procedure that we will use out in the practice areas. After being put into groups and practicing the technique, we used UV gel on our hands to show up the areas we had missed, under the UV light. What were you thinking and feeling?During this I was feeling excited about the prospect of learning a new and my first clinical skill, as a student nurse.

    Reflective Account of a Literature Search

    I felt it took me a lot longer than everyone else to get used to the system, and because the class was quite noisy, at times i was unable to hear what Heather was saying. I did ask another student to explain certain things to me, but I felt I was distracting them from their own studies. By the end of the session I felt no clearer about doing a literature search on my own. Even though I had narrowed my search down to 12 hits, this had happened with help from another student, and I didn’t feel confident enough to know how to go about it on my own. I felt confused and overwhelmed, but I was too embarrassed to stay behind and ask for more help. Fortunately we had all been given a hand-out as well, to enable us to keep practising in our own time. When I got home I looked through the booklet, and found after reading it several times it began to sink in, I got straight back on the computer and accessed the search engine immediately.…

    My Shield Speech: My Conversation To Rap The Soccer Field

    I’m going to be completely honest and say that I didn’t do much to prepare for the presentation. I had other things planned out for my presentation. I wanted to make a soccer field and compare how the defender, goalie, midfielders, and the forwards represent my family, but it was already 10 p.m. when I started my shield and I didn’t have construction paper to rap the shield with green and make the soccer field. So instead I just made a poster and put the topics on it. I was going to print the pictures at home because we had a printer at home. When I started the poster, I also noticed the printer had no ink. It had run out of ink. I was really nervous because I had no clue how I was going to do my presentation; I have no study halls before my oral comp. class. On the day of my presentation I had to wake up at 6 a.m. which is way earlier than I’m normally waking up. Normally I wake up at 7:30 a.m. and prepare myself for school, but I had to wake up at 6 a.m. because my only option then was to go to school really early and use the printer here. I know it wasn’t the best Idea to work on the presentation a couple hours before I had to present. I had no time to go over the presentation because of the time…

    Personal Narrative: Achieving The American Dream

    Mrs Peters announces, “You have fifteen minutes to study. As soon as the timer goes off I will hand out the test and talking will not be permitted or it will be an automatic office referral and a 0% on the test.” I begin to panic because I realize that as soon I look in my folder for my notes to study over, I realize that I left them on my kitchen counter. This makes me feel even worse about the situation. Now, I was sure that I wouldn't be able to do well on the test. I think at least I didn’t forget my calculator. I wait until the timer goes off. Mrs. Peters begins to hand out the tests and I start to dread how well I will do. I then am handed my test. I look through the test and recognize some problems that I know how to do. I read through the test and begin to work out and evaluate problems. I am beginning to get distracted by the quietness of the classroom and listening to the tapping, the clicking of the clock, and cough or sneeze every now and then. After I begin to get off topic I always remind myself to get back to work and to try to focus. I begin to near the end of my test. I feel pretty confident that I am doing pretty well. I did not expect this feeling. Then, I finish up, look over the test one more time, and I raise my hand so that my test can be collected. Mrs. Peters comes by and takes my test and gently smiles at me and pats me on the back. I sit and wait until everyone finishes their tests. Soon, everyone…

Only because I have a really shy personality so I felt that would be my downfall in the class. After doing the first speech I got a little confidences. It actually wasn’t as bad as I was thinking it was going to be. So I would definitely say that I met my expectations now that it's coming to a end.…
