· Introduction
The above session provided the best academic and coordination skills by explained the multiple essential tips of preparing properly for the assessments and considering the times determinant, which encouraged me to think and write professionally.
· Reflection Discussion on the study plan for assessments
As the English language is my second tongue, I have faced many difficulties with reading and writing academic articles. I found the above topic has a significant impact positively to prepare my assessments in advance, especially when it displays at the beginning of my first semester in the university. However, an ongoing experience on what I gained from this session has a huge impact on me. For instance, after this session, I organised a table that shows each type of the assessments separately, and each one has its basics and elements in its allotted box. As a result, while I’m doing my estimates, I refer to my table and find my structures ready, which helps me seize the time and be more skilled.
· Reflection Discussion on prepare well for my assessments.
As I'm in my first year at the university, I thought there was no need to have an entire assessments plan. Later on, I noticed that working on assessments without organising a plan affects the whole semester assessments, which might cause time conflict in the Assignments due date. I wasn't aware of how important it is the preparing and reading enough sources before start writing. However, Glancing and reading enough information can convert the assessment from stress work to exciting work, which will help set the scene and allow me to think critically and write academically. Based on the benefits that I acquired from the session, the critical thinking and in depth discussion in a particular topic will need to be supported by academic information from reading more articles and spend more time on this part of the work. After this session, I became able to organise my assessments, which allow me to have enough time to working on them and preventing some of the study stresses and cramming. Also, I have been able to take a period to refresh my mind and get my memory retention. However, there is no doubt that it encouraged me to provide the work in a prime manner. This experience will be beneficial in my subsequent semesters to develop my ability to be further organised in my study and aware of how to prepare before the assessments.

Learning Objectives
This was my third semester at Westcliff University, and I explored a wide range of
helpful strategies and practical techniques that benefited my overall career and life balance.
For instance, the habit of professional journaling helps me release my stress and motivate
myself to keep on track towards my goal.
From week 3, I started to prepare the professional portfolio, and I felt it was an
excellent way to keep a record of my achievements and experiences. From week 5, the
interview exercise taken with the senior manager from my department, I have learned about
her personal experiences and know a little more about strategic leadership. Another valuable
material that I learned from this class is always to be prepared. Before I interview the senior
manager, I prepare additional questions to ask my supervisor and colleagues about my
performance. I was nervous during the interview, but these extra questions helped me come
down and make the conversion more smooth.
At the beginning of this semester, my goal was to improve my communication skills
in the workplace and learn how to be more flexible in dealing with incidents. From week six
course’s video, “I Wanna Be a Human Resources Officer - A Day in the Life of a Human
Resources Officer,” made me see some perspectives of the responsibility of a Human
Resources Officer and provided me some direction to improve my interpersonal skills. I
always find ways to improve my confidence when I communicate with people and learn how
to be an active listener.
Week seven’s video about “Internship Expectations vs. Realities- the Intern Queen”
makes me think about expectations and realities at the workplace. What expectation does the
employer look for, and how should I improve my performance regarding their expectation?

Additionally, through this semester, I realized different ways of conveying a message
could have other effects and impact communication effectiveness. During the internship, I
utilized the benefits of a supportive and positive environment.
Taking everything into account, I believe that I made significant progress towards my
goals, and I became more efficient and productive at work.
Internship Experiences
This semester I am considering switching to a new company that will allow me to
practice my professional skills in the area of individual and corporate taxes. Therefore, I
started my journey to submit job applications and prepare for an interview. Finding an
appropriate position that matches my interests and abilities is not an easy task. I felt frustrated
for the first few weeks when I did not get many responses. However, I record all my feelings

My Own Creative Process And Transformative Experiences...
The passage discusses issues with the modern US prison system. It notes that the US currently has over 2 million prisoners, more than any other country. Private companies now invest in and profit from prisons, creating incentives to imprison more people to drive profits. Additionally, prisons often fail to rehabilitate prisoners and high recidivism rates suggest that the system is not effectively curbing crime. The author questions whether the prison system is achieving its intended goals given its enormous size, private interests, and lack of rehabilitation.

Profession/ Educational Background:
BS, Minnesota State University, Moorhead (Business Administration/Management)
MBA, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX
Retired, California State University, Fullerton, Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, Associate Dean for Administration
1. Tell us a little about yourself. (An overview of you professionally.)
As an undergraduate senior in 1981 I accepted the opportunity to participate in the Small Business Institute and worked to develop the convention and visitors bureau in our community, I stayed with this organization for 6 years advancing to Associate Director. Using the nonprofit, organizational skills developed through working to market and organize state, regional, and national events, I secured a management position with the University Hospital Consortium (UHC), now known as the University Healthcare Consortium, an international association of medical teaching institutions. It was with the UHC that I worked with the likes of Stanford and Georgetown to develop an internet network specifically for teaching institutions; we called it “Comnet.” The year was 1986. As a point of reference, we were still typing memos at Cal State Fullerton in 1997.
From the UHC I went back to school and earned my MBA. This was a family-centered decision. My husband and I had two children in 2 years (I do not recommend this) and I needed to work part-time so I completed my degree and went on to teach business courses at state universities and community colleges a few nights a week. I taught Business Communication and Personal Finance. These courses were available to me because of my extensive project experience and proven ability to communicate and budget time and other resources.
Once our children started high school I started teaching Business Communication full-time at Cal State—Fullerton, and I was asked to co-chair the department’s assessment of learning initiatives. It was through this work that I caught the eye of the business school dean. Assurance of learning (aka—assessment) was becoming a major element in the maintenance of accreditation process (Cal State—Fullerton has held AACSB International* accreditation since the 1960s) and college-level leadership was needed to develop a program that pulled together the efforts of faculty across six departments. We were also in the schematic phase of a 4 year, 190,000 square foot building project and a college representative was needed to see it through to a timely (and on-budget) completion. So even though I did not have a Ph.D. in my field, I had the experience needed to be named Associate Dean for Administration. I held this position for 5 years and celebrated with fellow faculty and administrators as we earned best-practice marks for our assessment program by AACSB during our maintenance of accreditation visit and opened Stephen G. Mihaylo Hall on time and within budget.

This document provides tips for HR professionals on developing a business case and crafting a telework policy.

When crafting the policy, considerations include who can telework and how much, application processes, performance assessment, resolving issues, and baseline legal policies. The overall aim is to maximize success for both employees and the organization through flexible work arrangements.

Reflection
- Alfred Hu is reflecting on his time studying a commerce degree with a marketing specialization at Macquarie University, which is coming to an end.
- He identifies three key areas of learning: reflection, effective writing, and time management. For reflection, he realizes he needs to listen better and be more open-minded. For writing, he has improved but needs stronger editing skills. For time management, he has learned to take on many roles but still needs to avoid overcommitting.
- He discusses his experiences volunteering, working, studying abroad, and being involved on campus. He is grateful for the opportunities and lessons learned from tutors, peers, and experiences over the past three years.

Oxford HPL Testimonial - Bruno Frossard
Bruno Frossard, CEO of Techduto Tecnologia in Brazil, attended the Oxford High Performance Leadership Programme to help him lead his growing company and increase turnover from $10 million to $50 million with the same number of staff. The programme helped him identify his leadership strengths and areas for improvement, and reinforced his belief in his leadership style while also showing him that no leader is perfect and it's important to leverage others' strengths. He found the individual coaching especially valuable in helping him address his fears of failure. Frossard plans to make subtle changes to how he interacts with colleagues based on what he learned and would recommend the programme to other leaders.

The passage discusses issues with the modern US prison system. It notes that the US currently has over 2 million prisoners, more than any other country. Private companies now invest in and profit from prisons, creating incentives to imprison more people to drive profits. Additionally, prisons often fail to rehabilitate prisoners and high recidivism rates suggest that the system is not effectively curbing crime. The author questions whether the prison system is achieving its intended goals given its enormous size, private interests, and lack of rehabilitation.

1. Tell us a little about yourself. (An overview of you professionally.)
As an undergraduate senior in 1981 I accepted the opportunity to participate in the Small Business Institute and worked to develop the convention and visitors bureau in our community, I stayed with this organization for 6 years advancing to Associate Director. Using the nonprofit, organizational skills developed through working to market and organize state, regional, and national events, I secured a management position with the University Hospital Consortium (UHC), now known as the University Healthcare Consortium, an international association of medical teaching institutions. It was with the UHC that I worked with the likes of Stanford and Georgetown to develop an internet network specifically for teaching institutions; we called it “Comnet.” The year was 1986. As a point of reference, we were still typing memos at Cal State Fullerton in 1997.
From the UHC I went back to school and earned my MBA. This was a family-centered decision. My husband and I had two children in 2 years (I do not recommend this) and I needed to work part-time so I completed my degree and went on to teach business courses at state universities and community colleges a few nights a week. I taught Business Communication and Personal Finance. These courses were available to me because of my extensive project experience and proven ability to communicate and budget time and other resources.
Once our children started high school I started teaching Business Communication full-time at Cal State—Fullerton, and I was asked to co-chair the department’s assessment of learning initiatives. It was through this work that I caught the eye of the business school dean. Assurance of learning (aka—assessment) was becoming a major element in the maintenance of accreditation process (Cal State—Fullerton has held AACSB International* accreditation since the 1960s) and college-level leadership was needed to develop a program that pulled together the efforts of faculty across six departments. We were also in the schematic phase of a 4 year, 190,000 square foot building project and a college representative was needed to see it through to a timely (and on-budget) completion. So even though I did not have a Ph.D. in my field, I had the experience needed to be named Associate Dean for Administration. I held this position for 5 years and celebrated with fellow faculty and administrators as we earned best-practice marks for our assessment program by AACSB during our maintenance of accreditation visit and opened Stephen G. Mihaylo Hall on time and within budget.

- 1. Currently I work as Product Quality Leader within Volvo Trucks. I have 25 years of experience from various positions inside Volvo Trucks resulting in that I fully understand the business of a global company and I am used to work in a multi-cultural environment. A few years ago I added a Master degree in Business Administration with a major in Management. In my positions I have mainly work in different kind of teams. An example is that I some years ago worked as Safety Investigator. I was responsible to compile facts about suspected safety problems and present the facts for the top management. They decided if we had a safety problem and needed to recall vehicles. This was often done by leading a task force and required both that I was very analytic (to be able to judge the facts in a correct way), and that I motivated the team to deliver needed facts within a very short time of period. An example as successful team leader was the task as project manager for an aftermarket conference that was held 2014. For the first time the conference was a dual branded between Volvo and Renault, and it was also the first time the two main sites (Gothenburg and Lyon) shared the responsibility for the conference. Many were sceptical but it ended up in a success. Key to the success was to start and focus to build a team for effective networking. Some important tools for this were; understand history, respect for each other, listening, a clearly defined mission and trust in other colleagues. People around my has defined my strength as; maximise, focus, structured and analytical. The result of these strengths is that I always want to develop the way of working in a way that you always deliver according to expectation, with a minimal effort. These strengths have created a strong self-confidence and that I believe in the results of my work, which have made me successful in current and previous positions. On my leisure time my family is important, both my wife and myself are interested in health and well-being. We work-out regularly and are interesting in which kind of food we eat. I like cooking, and looking forward to spend a Saturday afternoon making a three meal dinner. I am continuously interesting in finding new ways to increase my well- being. Hopefully you will find that my skills and personality perfect for you and it would be great to getting the opportunity to discuss this letter and my curriculum vitae more in detail with you.
