Weekly Report #7 (10/20)

This week in ISM I have finished my Business Symposium assessment, my third research assessment, and my topic proposal. In my Business Symposium assessment, I reflected on my personal experiences of the event and how I thought I did. Overall, I thought I did well at the Business Symposium as I was much less nervous than I thought I would be. On Friday, in class we wrote thank you cards to the professionals who attended the event as ISM couldn’t be nearly as successful as it is without their support.  For my third research assessment, I researched about eye dilation and why you should still choose to have your eyes dilated over having an optomap done. This research assessment was enlightening as it made me realize that new technology isn’t always better. Lastly, through my topic proposal I defined what I want to study throughout the year and why. Through the proposal I was able to reflect on the qualities and characteristics that will help me succeed in my pursuit of optometry. This week I would say I was successful in that I was able to meet all the deadlines. Next week I will be working on writing my first interview assessment, fourth research assessment, and display board plan.
