Journal 13: Balancing teaching, research, service, and life.

I would like to talk about Balancing Life and Work this week. Since I had a health scare, I need to dramatically change my life and lifestyle. I need to learn how to say no sometimes to my friends and create boundaries. There is only one of me to go around; so it is no good if I am not here. I appreciated this much-needed discussion we had this week! From this week’s reading and discussion, I also learned that I would learn about Effective and Inclusive Instruction in the Effective College Teaching class. Here are some guidelines: Learn Students’ Names, Be Mindful of How You Interact with Students, Uncover the Hidden Curriculum, Set the Tone Early, Start with Low Stakes, Share your Experiences, Choose your Questions Carefully, Validate Students’ Answers, Acknowledge your Limits, and Avoid Putting Students on the Spot. I also learned about Effective and Inclusive Mentoring. The best kind of mentor is a fierce advocate for their students. Advocacy is not merely showing up, but rea...

Journal 12: Self-Care

Sorry for the late post! I was admitted to the hospital last Thursday and was discharged on Tuesday. For this post, I want to talk about self-care. My goal is to take care of myself better while going through the program. This includes eating on time, taking my meds on time, exercising 30 minutes for 5 days a week, and refraining from drinking coffee, which will elevate my blood pressure. I didn’t expect how difficult the Ph.D. program would be, especially Advanced Statistics. It is a lot more work than I expected. I feel like I work on it every day, all day. What are y’all thoughts?? I want to know your thoughts on what to do for self-care, such as a hot shower or bubble bath, reading something fun, eating out with family or friends, cooking, meditating, or doing some kind of exercise. So my point is, reward yourself after a grueling week of work! Michelle

Journal 11: Elevator pitch

  I want to define and demonstrate an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch has two components: the headline and the elaboration. The headline is a concrete, one-sentence summary of your work. If the person asks follow-up questions, then give the elaboration, which should take no longer than a minute. Michelle- Human Development and Family Sciences Headline:  I study if teenage boys and girls have the same experience with chemotherapy-related baldness. While little girls, college-age women, and grown women have been studied with their counterparts--little boys, college-age men, and grown men, there is scant literature about the population that I am proposing. Elaboration:  Girls and women tend to have a bigger impact on self-esteem from chemotherapy-related baldness.   I focus on adolescents/teenagers because, according to psychologist Erik Erikson, this is when a person's self-identity develops.  It is also when small things have a big impact on self-esteem. A...
