First-Week Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This semester I hope to be able to make an impact with my research! Moreover, I hope to develop my problem-solving skills and ethical awareness. I\u2019m looking forward to publishing my research as well! I\u2019m curious to explore the steps we will take to share our water fair toolkit. Ultimately, this semester I plan to work on gathering a full understanding of topics assigned in class so that I will be prepared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midterm Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During this course I feel excited to embark on my research journey. I have gained a greater understanding of what it means to come up with a good dissemination plan. I want to continue developing this skill so that I can become confident in my ability to conduct effective research. This semester I have been reflective and adamant about revising anything that could improve the essence of my research. It can be said that I have already seen myself grow into a more sophisticated researcher through this class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that the semester is over, I feel that I met my goals, and my worries are gone. I\u2019m confident that I\u2019m able to apply the strategies from this class to the real world. With that being said, this semester I was able to correctly prove why water education benefits K-8 students and publish my research. Also, it helped me build upon my topic from my research class, which allowed me to explore new perspectives. Lastly, this semester inspired me to continue to work with non-profits and hopefully benefit my community in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(15 %) Global Knowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on 4. A. and C. I will illustrate a complex understanding of worldwide views, experiences, and power structures. With that, I will be able to apply my knowledge and skills to help solve problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection #3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my original writing, I demonstrated global knowledge by writing about how communities like East St. Louis experience challenges like flooding and poverty differently. Moreover, I showed that I understood global perspectives and system dynamics, explaining that not all communities face the same challenge. My writing also demonstrated cultural competence by examining how both economic and social factors can impact a community’s ability to recover from struggles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
