...performance was like, and ways to be better, and ways to list things that they feel were real contributions to the job. It also provides rich detail about performance and it is a record unique to characteristics (PowerPoint presentation p. 15). However the disadvantages can be it requires the person completing the evaluation to have competent writing skills, because the supervisor reviewing it might have a hard time understanding it, if the person is weak in writing skills. I do feel this type of evaluation is best for people in education fields where more than likely having strong writing skills are more common. The essay evaluation can also be very subjective, as the employee might think more highly of themselves than actually projected, and this can be deflating when the supervisor doing the evaluation does not agree with what is said. This could also lead to friction and conflict between the employee and the supervisor. The other advantage of feedback on performance appraisal other than the supervisor I feel is beneficial is critical incidents. The advantage if this is that it gives specific evidence of positive and negative performance, I feel this is important because during evaluations the employee often times forgets when mistakes are made and this performance evaluation forces the employee to remember we are not all perfect and everybody makes mistakes. The disadvantages to this form of appraisal is it does require the supervisor to be very detailed in record...

While looking at the critical research reflection I cannot help but think of the word “reflect? “Since the beginning of this class, I had to reflect on course texts, reflect on the sources, reflect on personal experience, and reflect on peer reviews and discussion posts. Dr. ND asked me to reflect on my writing and to think carefully, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion. Why the word "reflect" is so important? What does it mean, "to reflect”? The philosopher Locke said that the act of reflection is characterized by mental acts of doubt, believe, think, have emotions, and feelings (Locke). I believe that my final research paper is an essay that has all the characteristics described by Locke. The final project includes feelings, personal experience, thoughts, doubts, questions, answers, and reasoning....

...Online Social Networking Dangers and Benefits Social Networking Site Dangers One of the most popular social networking sites is Facebook. While Facebook restricts members to those who use a ".edu" email address, this may give you a false sense of security. There are hundreds of thousands of active ".edu" email addresses of current students and alumni in just the United States and many of them can gain access to your site. Some colleges and universities will grant free email addresses to alumni; however, they do not always follow-up to check whether the individual is an actual alumni—therefore making it relatively easy to create false ".edu" accounts on Facebook and gain access to the site. Other social networking sites such as Myspace, Friendster, and Xanga offer even less security and protection because they are open to anyone. Because students often post detailed and specific information on Facebook (including phone numbers, addresses, class schedules, social plans, etc.) you can be more easily stalked by strangers (or even acquaintances). Impact on Schooling and Employment Students are getting in trouble with University administrators for incriminating and inappropriate information or pictures on their social networking profiles that are violations of school policy or the code of conduct. (Note: Administrators are not monitoring social networking sites; however, if information or pictures on a student's account that violate policy are brought to their attention...
