Using AI to draft or write any of your reflections is inappropriate. The point of these prompts is to share
your own experiences; this is not something AI can replicate. Reasonable suspicion that AI was used to
write or fabricate any of the above responses is grounds for a 0 on that component. Use of AI to assist
with editing (for example, using a program like Grammarly) is allowed, but should be noted at the end of
your portfolio.
The portfolio will be graded on completeness, organization, and readability. The introduction and
discussion of sociological concepts will be graded on accuracy.

Question 15
Consider your responses to the previous questions about how relevant you think different skills will be for your future goals.
Pick three of your answers and explain in more depth (about 1 paragraph each) why you answered the way you did.
For each of three you select, explain what you are basing your answer on. Is your answer based on past experiences, classes, discussions with people working in the field, what you have seen in media, your own ideas about the field, etc?
Your Answer:
Q8: I see that very valuable for me, I think that the ability to identify certification authorities is a skill required to conduct any research or study. For example, the previous semester I had a subject related to nursing research, and we had to search in references such as books and research, and they must not be older than 5 years. This is because research in a field such as nursing requires that the information be updated with the latest publications in science, and I believe that this is a requirement. In all academic and literary subjects.
Q14: I think for teamwork, sometimes you have value and sometimes working alone is the right decision. So choose a fairly high value. Because I see that if the team is not chosen correctly, or if the team does not know enough about the remaining members, then there will be no point in working in a team, and I prefer to work alone at that time.
Q13: Regarding language, the issue is different in my opinion. I speak two languages: Arabic, which is my mother tongue, and English. But I don’t see it making much difference to people who study or work in their home country, so in my opinion this skill is quite valuable for people in my position who decide to go to another country.
Question 16
Continuing to think about the questions about which skills you think are most valuable, select at least 2 skills that you rated as the most important.
Describe how you will use your time at University to improve or hone this skill. What practical ways can you work to make sure you are as skilled as you can be in these two areas by the time you graduate?
Your Answer:
Q6: I think that reading is a very important skill to learn. In the first place, reading helps to learn new words and terms. The books and articles we read every day increase knowledge of matters related to all fields. Adding to the development of the ability to think analytically and critically.
Q10: I believe that the skill of communicating through writing plays an important role in the learning and knowledge process and is of great value. Because it promotes deep thinking, when you write down what you understood from the lesson, for example, the mind thinks deeply to transmit and understand the information. It is also very important for communicating with others, as communication through writing has become a large part of our daily lives, for example, by sharing ideas and opinions on social networking sites. Even what I do now when I take a test, I communicate through writing with the teacher, and it is very important that the texts I write are easy to understand and clear.
Q12: Listening and remembering information skills play a vital role in the learning and knowledge building process. Giving a broader understanding of the content and enhancing interaction with it, it also improves concentration significantly. In addition to building a knowledge foundation when you remember the information you heard before. For example, improving performance in tasks and tests, the ability to listen well and remember information contribute to improving this, as information can be retrieved efficiently. I think they are skills that constitute a major factor in language learning, as they develop vocabulary and linguistic understanding, and improve communication skills.
University is an example of a social institution (something we will discuss in this course). There are specific norms (social rules) and expectations at university. Knowing the rules and expectations of a specific institution, like university, is something sociologists call Cultural Capital.
Question 17
How long have you been a student at University?
Is University you first college experience, or do you have previous experience in college or university?
Your Answer:
I have been at University for two years, and it is not my first university. I entered the university in 2017 and it was my first university in my hometown, Medina, Saudi Arabia, Taibah University. I also studied nursing, but I had a dream to go to study abroad, so when this opportunity allowed me to..In 2019, I came to the United States of America and was aiming for nursing, but I went after my dream. I entered SEMO, and learned English, and study the pre-nursing there , However , in 2022 because I could not enter its nursing program, and when I decided to come to University , I knew that there was a large community of Saudi students.
Question 18
How prepared do you feel for university? Do you have family and friends who have completed college? Are you a first-generation college student (first-generation college student means the first person in your immediate family to attend college)? If you are an international student, how prepared do you feel for university in the US?
Your Answer:
How prepared are you for college?
I was ready to fully enroll in university in 2017, but with the passage of these many years, I began to wait every year for the moment of graduation, preparing with boredom and boredom at first, but as the weeks passed, I regained my energy by preparing for the prescribed academic subjects and developed a personal plan to achieve my academic and professional goals. During the study period. I also have a strong desire to participate in student activities to enhance my university experience. I work in the OGA office and I love participating in this, to help me spend a useful and enjoyable time during university.
Do you have family and friends who have finished college?
Yes, I have members in my family who have successfully completed their university studies, and they greatly encourage me to achieve similar success.
If you are an international student, how prepared are you to attend college in the United States?
Yes, I am an international student and I prepared well for this experience. During my first year at SEMO, when I was studying the English , I worked hard on enhancing my language skills and preparing for potential cultural challenges. I also built relationships with international and American students. It is true that when I entered university, I was shocked by the difference in studies between universities in Saudi Arabia and universities in US, but I was determined to achieve my dream and return to my homeland and my family with a graduation certificate, and I am still determined to do so, so I always get high grades.

Describe what you would do in the following situations. Provide your honest answer based on your current knowledge. “I don’t know, but I think I’d do…” is an acceptable answer.
Question 30
You think an instructor entered a grade incorrectly into Canvas. When the assignment was handed back, it was marked as 90/100, but in Canvas the grade is 70/100. What do you do?
Your Answer:
I think that in such cases, the best solution is to contact the teacher to verify the error and explain the situation. There could be a technical error in the Canvas system or an error in the scoring.
Question 31
You got an unexpectedly low score on an exam. You studied really hard for an exam and were confident you understood the material. During the exam, you felt well prepared and able to answer most of the questions. However, when you get the score back, you got 65%. What do you do?
Your Answer:
I think that starting by checking my answers and understanding the reasons for the deficiency by communicating with the teacher to obtain clarification about the grade awarded is the solution that I will take. If my answers are not at the desired level. It is best for me to seek additional help and evaluate my study method to ensure that I am better prepared for future exams. Because in my opinion, the goal is to use this opportunity to learn and grow instead of indulging in frustration.
Question 32
Something urgent comes up that prevents you from turning in work. You have an important assignment due on Wednesday, but on Tuesday a family member calls and asks you to drive them to appointments the next day because their car broke down. What do you do?
Your Answer:
I think I will do this in the beginning, which is to communicate with my family and explain that I have an assignment, and it is important, and I must finish it on Wednesday, and it is possible to find a common solution. I can also look for someone to act on my behalf. If an alternative solution is not found, I will contact the teacher immediately, notify the situation ahead of time, explain the situation, and negotiate an extension of the assignment submission time.
Question 33
Who is your academic advisor? What is the role of an academic advisor? What should you bring with you or prepare before meeting with your advisor?
Your Answer:
My academic advisor is Dr. McCullough, Kimberly, and I really like her, she is very amazing person. As for the role of the academic advisor, it generally includes guiding students by providing advice in choosing appropriate subjects. In addition to providing information about academic procedures such as registration requirements. The academic advisor also reviews the students academic performance and identifies strong and weak points. For me, before going to review with the academic advisor, I must prepare for what the meeting will be, for example, recording classes for the next semester. I prefer to look at the available classes to have an overview.
Question 34
You are a student-athlete and you know you will have to miss several classes this semester for away games. What should you do? (Answer this question as a hypothetical if you are not a student-athlete).
Your Answer:
If I were a student-athlete and expect to miss several classes due to external sports matches, communicating with teachers is the first solution. They must be notified early of the times and reasons for absence. In addition to obtaining methods for helpful resources, such as obtaining content that I missed through class peers, or even talking with other students in the same situation and exchanging experiences to facilitate obtaining the missed lesson.
Universities have their own vocabulary. For each of the following, provide a definition. You do not need to look anything up; write what you already know. If you do not know, “I do not know” is an acceptable answer.

I think it is the grade that is given to classes that have a credits of zero, meaning there is no grade “NG”. I see it on my transcript when listing clinical grades.
Question 37
What is in “Incomplete” or “I” grade?
Your Answer:
This grade appears as an Incomplete grade denoted I” when a student has completed part of a course and has passed the majority of the required work for the course, but for reasons beyond the students control, the entire course cannot be completed. For example, I received an incomplete grade the previous fall semester because I did not complete clinicals, and I must complete them this spring semester to get my final grade.
Question 38
A student who “withdraws” from a class receives a grade of “W”. What is withdrawing and when is it something a student should consider?
Your Answer:
Withdrawal from a semester means a decision not to complete the course of study for which one has registered and to withdraw from it before the end of the semester. The reasons for withdrawal vary from one student to another. It may be family circumstances or academic problems, such as difficulty understanding materials. In addition, in some cases, students prefer to withdraw from a course because the withdrawal grade (W) is better on the academic record than an F grade. However, withdrawal policies and withdrawal dates must be taken into account in the first place to avoid any negative impact on this decision.

What is a “dean”?
Your Answer:
I think this term refers to the head of a college or the head of a department.

Question 48
Set three specific goals you would like to achieve this semester.
At least one of these goals should be related to academics and at least one goal should be related to something other than your academics or coursework (for example athletics or fitness, career or job-related, family-related, hobby or leisure activity).
Here is a useful resource on goal setting: Links to an external site.
Your three goals should be specific (for example, “do better in Chemistry” is not a specific goal. “Go to Chemistry tutoring once per week” and “Submit all homework on time” are examples of specific goals.)
Your goals should be reasonable and achievable for you. Each student has different demands on their time and energy; set goals that are appropriate to your individual circumstances.
For each goal, set a timeline or deadline. For example, “go to tutoring once per week until the midterm exam, then adjust goal if needed based on exam results” or “run a total of 25 miles before the start of Spring Break” or “Look up possible internships by the end of February, and apply to at least 2 internships by the end of April.”
Your Answer:
My goals for this semester:
1. Achieving a high GPA in this semester, Spring 2024 (3.5 and higher)
Determine a daily schedule for studying, with fixed times for studying. By studying continuously and completing assignments on time without procrastination. Divide the material into small units and prioritize study based on difficulty. In addition to the importance of developing and preparing a review plan before exams.
2. completing clinical for Adult 1 before spring break:
Prepare a schedule so that the clinics will be two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, to be completed 5 weeks before the beginning of spring break.
3. Enhancing my physical health and losing approximately 4-5 kilograms at the end of February
Determine a healthy and balanced eating plan by reducing the amount of daily carbohydrates and increasing protein, and scheduling a fixed time to exercise in the gym at least 4 days a week. In addition, track weight progress regularly and adjust the plan if necessary.
Read through the full instruction for the project. The next step will be to begin completing tasks from the checklist. Your first five tasks are due by Feb 9. You can complete the tasks in any order, so you can pick which tasks you want to do first.
Question 49
Which tasks are you most concerned or worried about completing? Why do these tasks worry you?
Your Answer:
I think that the tasks I worried about completing, such as How to File Taxes worksheet, How to get a Passport worksheet, or How to Report an Emergency. Simply because I have not tried doing these tasks in America before and I do not know how they work.
Question 50
Which tasks do you think will be the easiest or most fun to complete? Why?
Your Answer:
I think the assignments required for all students are as easy as doing a study group, go to a fun activity on campus or talk to someone at home. Also, there are fun tasks like trying a new food or watching a sporting event. it is just fan to do, and to take a break form doing difficult thing and try something different.
Question 51
What tasks do you think you will complete for your first five tasks? (It is ok if this changes).
