Weekly Report (3/16-3/22)

During this week in ISM I have completed a research assessment and a mentor visit assessment. Also, I fully updated my research portfolio and reviewed all my previous assessments. For my research assessment I analyzed an article that explained the function of the heart and the diets and exercises that helps to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. The article had peaked my interest since I am still looking into potential ideas that I could use for my Final Product. In particular I was pondering about methods in which an individual could overcome his cardiovascular problems with daily exercises and practices that he could do from his household. For my mentor visit assessment I reflected upon my experiences at his clinic that Tuesday where I was able to view an Echocardiogram and EKG test done on a patient. Viewing this from the nurse’s perspective was beneficial to me as I understood the essentials on how to accomplish these tests. During class, we reviewed and critiqued one another’s assessments. In particular I found this activity to be very beneficial as I was able to correct the small errors in my own assessments that I had been oblivious to yet were found by my peers. This week has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.

Weekly Report (3/2-3/15)

During this week in ISM I have fully updated my blog, prepared for my upcoming mentor visit, and continued to research for final presentation night. For my blog I formatted the way that all my research assessments were shown and changed the link for the speech videos into hyperlinks so that the people who want to see them can get to them much easier. Also, I fixed all the minor flaws, such as the various fonts and font sizes to make my blog appear much more professional than it already was. For my next mentor visit I plan on asking my mentor whether I could visit him while he is at the hospital since I have already understood how the clinical area appears. Also I plan on asking him if he has any ideas on what I could do for my final product. So far, I am still researching various articles in order to come up with a much better final product than that that I have proposed. I aim to create a final product that will be worthy of my time in ISM, so I am working to achieve that goal. This week has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.

Weekly Report (2/23-3/1)

During this week in ISM I have continued on researching for my final product. I have read a few articles that would help me start off my final product, and I plan on taking about these articles with my mentor. However, I am still unsure if I still want to stick with my initial final product proposal. I feel that I could do a better final product than the one that I hope to accomplish now, so I will talk with my mentor about it next week. From the articles I learned how to make a basic application and learned the essentials of how an individual can keep his cardiovascular health moderately well. From these articles I read multiple case studies and learned the routines an individual could take to improve their cardiovascular health. However, I feel that I am heading in the wrong direction and feel that I could come up with a much greater final product. Currently I am pondering on some more profound ideas that could make me stand out in Final Presentation Night. I will continue to research for my present final product proposal and wait till I can think of a better idea. This week has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.
