Assignment 2: Discussion—Applying Your Skills

Many of you may not know where to begin when thinking about your college experience. It is often difficult to organize memories and impressions into something that adequately captures all that you have learned. This exercise will help you make sense of such scattered impressions by encouraging you to explore the ways in which you have been changed by your education.

In this assignment, think back on the knowledge you have gained and the skills you have acquired during your time at Argosy. Try to concentrate not just on what you have learned (things like theories, concepts and facts), but also on how the acquisition of these have changed your outlook (on your life, career, and the world). Consider what aspects of your education would be most important to pass on to others and think of how this project might allow you to do just that. Keeping this in mind, address the following questions:

• Identify at least three areas of interest and three newly acquired skills that can be used to help others.
• For each area of interest and each skill that you list, describe ways in which you think this particular component could help you help others.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Saturday, February 18, 2017, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, February 22, 2017, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.
