My Very First Experience in Completing an Assignment
I am currently a student taking “Language Description Course” in Open University Malaysia at Sandakan Branch. The aim of this course is to analyze grammar and describe relevant grammar rules. I started this course from January 2013 and to demonstrate what I have learnt on the HBEL 1203 Language Description Course I have to fulfill an assignment. I have to select an authentic text in the printed media such as newspaper, magazines or journal of a reasonable length and then I will have to identify one word for each type of verb from the authentic source that I have selected. After identifying the correct type of verb, I have to explain clearly the criteria used in identifying them according to the context.

The first briefing of this assignment happened in an afternoon class which was my second tutorial session. The class tutor explained to us how to go on with the assignment. AS the tutor started talking about this assignment I felt so nervous that suddenly I got the feeling I will not be able to finish this assignment. In my nervous state I fumbled my book, papers, and stationary all the while stumbling over the assignment questions on my mind which was not making any sense to me. But my classmates were really understanding, as they were old students who were aware that I am new to this subject and so they tried to calm me down, all the while the tutor was still giving her explanation on how to go about completing the assignment. I sat at the back of the classroom trying to understand the task in the assignment and I left the session as soon as the class was over without speaking to anyone.

I felt so miserable at that time that I started to think about quitting the course. I was upset with my own self because of my inability to understand the task even after the class tutor explained clearly in front of the class. I started to think that I need some time to be alone that would help me get over my nervousness. I was so mortified that I rang in sick the

    The first “safe harbor” available to an individual taxpayer to avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax would be if the payments of estimated tax are at least as large as 90 % of the tax shown on the return or 100% (110% if adjusted gross income for 2002 and later exceeds 150k) of the tax shown on the return of the preceding taxable year (assuming it showed a tax liability and covered a taxable year of 12 months.) The second “safe harbor” would be if the payments of estimated tax are at least as large as an amount equal to 90% of the tax for the taxable year computed by annualizing the taxable income received for the months in the taxable year ending before the month in which the installment is required to be paid.…

    Hand Decontamination

    Description of what happened.On the day we were firstly introduced to hand decontamination, using a power point presentation. This presentation introduced the topic, looking at my it is important in clinical areas, when hand washing should be used, where I should be washing my hands and we was also shown the correct technique that should be used for effective hand decontamination. After looking at the theory behind the topic we went into a mock clinical setting to practice the technique. We were separated into smaller groups, in these groups we took it in turns to wash our hands, following the correct procedure that we will use out in the practice areas. After being put into groups and practicing the technique, we used UV gel on our hands to show up the areas we had missed, under the UV light. What were you thinking and feeling?During this I was feeling excited about the prospect of learning a new and my first clinical skill, as a student nurse. As well the feeling of excitement, I was also feeling nervous as I was thinking about working in groups with people I was not completely familiar with yet and having to practice the technique in front of these people. Also thinking about learning my first skill made me nervous as this was one of many clinical skills I will be learning…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt's Inaugural Address

    I had arrived so early that only one other person was waiting. He remarked, "We still have a half an hour to wait, I guess we should not have been so early!" Eventually, the instructor arrived and everyone went in and sat down. Once we were all seated I was reassured to see other people my age in the class. It was a great feeling once class got started. The instructor seemed helpful and encouraging. After the class was over, all the distress and fear I had possessed before class had gone and was replaced with a new worry, a healthy one that gave me confidence and made me feel driven.…

    Reflective Account of a Literature Search

    I felt it took me a lot longer than everyone else to get used to the system, and because the class was quite noisy, at times i was unable to hear what Heather was saying. I did ask another student to explain certain things to me, but I felt I was distracting them from their own studies. By the end of the session I felt no clearer about doing a literature search on my own. Even though I had narrowed my search down to 12 hits, this had happened with help from another student, and I didn’t feel confident enough to know how to go about it on my own. I felt confused and overwhelmed, but I was too embarrassed to stay behind and ask for more help. Fortunately we had all been given a hand-out as well, to enable us to keep practising in our own time. When I got home I looked through the booklet, and found after reading it several times it began to sink in, I got straight back on the computer and accessed the search engine immediately.…

    Immigration: Undocumented Immigrants

    In the United States having fake or papers that are no longer valid is just as good as having no papers at all. Without the proper documentation, you do not have access to things such as obtaining driver licenses, access to public health systems, proper housing, education, banks, and employment. There are some immigrants who forge identity documentation to obtain access to most of these basic benefits. Unfortunately, this is extremely risky and many do not take this chance in fear of being deported or being sent to immigration detention centers, where there you are stripped of your human rights and treated inhumanely. Life as an undocumented immigrant is very hard. They cannot legally work in the US, therefore not being able to provide for…

    My Shield Speech: My Conversation To Rap The Soccer Field

    I’m going to be completely honest and say that I didn’t do much to prepare for the presentation. I had other things planned out for my presentation. I wanted to make a soccer field and compare how the defender, goalie, midfielders, and the forwards represent my family, but it was already 10 p.m. when I started my shield and I didn’t have construction paper to rap the shield with green and make the soccer field. So instead I just made a poster and put the topics on it. I was going to print the pictures at home because we had a printer at home. When I started the poster, I also noticed the printer had no ink. It had run out of ink. I was really nervous because I had no clue how I was going to do my presentation; I have no study halls before my oral comp. class. On the day of my presentation I had to wake up at 6 a.m. which is way earlier than I’m normally waking up. Normally I wake up at 7:30 a.m. and prepare myself for school, but I had to wake up at 6 a.m. because my only option then was to go to school really early and use the printer here. I know it wasn’t the best Idea to work on the presentation a couple hours before I had to present. I had no time to go over the presentation because of the time…

    My research materials had gone missing so, starting from scratch was only option. I got intimidated and started rushing through taking poor notes from unreliable sources knowing that the notes done before took too long. managed to turn my project in to Mrs. Gamble. I realized that I forgot to write a search journal and didn't include my printed sources which made me stressed. Mrs. Gamble did the checkup and when I got it back, it was no shock that I had gotten a 27/60. Disappointment is the only emotion I felt. I very rarely do that poorly on assignments.Thankfully, I got the opportunity to redo that checkup and gather everything I needed to ace the second checkup. It just so happened that I was assigned this right before break. After completing the work late at night, I turned it in the next day. It was greatly improved. This time I had a 57/60.…
