This week in ISM
I have completed a research assessment and a mentor visit assessment. As well, I
have updated my portfolio and reviewed my previous assessments. For my research
assessment, I looked into the different types of eyeglass technologies being
made. In particular, I was interested in the newer transition lenses that are
being made that are capable of working in the car. Also, I was interested in
the new types of lens coatings that prevent glasses from fogging up. For my
mentor visit assessment, I reflected on my experience of choosing the different
materials and design for my final product. In class, we reviewed and critiqued
each other's assessments. I found this to be beneficial as we were able to
catch small errors in each other's assessments and fix those errors. Also this
week, I updated my portfolio and in class we reviewed our portfolios. During
our peer reviews, we were trying to see whether or not our portfolios looked
uniform and professional. I would say I was successful this week in that I was
able to learn about some of the newer technologies being developed in optometry
and also update my portfolio. Next week, I will try to find a final
presentation room and will also complete a product progress assessment.
