Weekly Report #12 (11/24)

This week in ISM I have completed a research assessment, call log, guest list, and research speech self-evaluation. Through my research assessment, I was able to learn about the causes of vision loss. Apparently, vision loss occurs because either our cornea, lens, optic nerve, or retina becomes damaged. In class, we did a team building activity in which we passed around notecards. Each notecard had the name of a movie title or TV show, and it was up to us to guess what movie it had based upon the pictures our classmates drew. Through this activity, we learned about the importance of communication and how oftentimes miscommunication can occur. This week in ISM, I also made a guest list to invite people for our upcoming research showcase which will be in December. The research showcase will be an opportunity for me to showcase what I have done in ISM so far. The last thing I did was evaluate how I thought my speech went. Overall, I felt my speech went well and I just need to work on making my movements more purposeful and reducing my filler words. Next week, I will be working on finishing up my last two interview assessments and may even start putting my display board together.
