Use the X I did an infographic of a chosen vitamin/mineral in

expressive arts as Biochemical Principles for the purpose of educating
a mode of inquiry others. This required me to not use as many words and
or expression instead use pictures/colors/design in order to get the
point across and keep people’s interest.

Demonstrate X This was common in many of my classes. We are

leadership, presented with a topic or an issue and students are put
negotiation, into groups or the class as a whole must come to a
relational, and solution or idea. In either case, I have shown
consensus skills leadership by taking the lead in group discussions and
asking/listening to others’ opinions then having to
sometimes negotiate differing opinions to come to a
final consensus.

Use technological X Learning technological skills associated with

skills to access VoiceThread and iMovie allowed me to communicate
information, knowledge and information in an interesting and more
organize modern way instead of writing words to express the
knowledge, and same things. Also having the opportunity to use Excel
communicate skills (learning how to compute formulas on the
software) in creating a personal budget was very
valuable.

Propose new X I wrote a letter to the President of The United States

solutions to presenting a social justice issue and describing ways
current issues that I felt that the issue could be solved/improved. I
wrote about mass incarceration and suggested
loosening laws related to low-level offenses and
improving rehabilitation.

Express X For many courses I had the opportunity to make audio

arguments or recordings of myself and in one case even a
main points VoiceThread. This was a different alternative to simply

and oral a bit more creativity.

knowledge and I have been introduced to making decisions in multiple
values into sound science courses when I am given a case study of a
decision making patient along with their signs, symptoms, and lab
results and am asked to transfer the knowledge from

Communicate in X I have written many papers and journals in Spanish and in

a second some cases practiced oral communication with both the
language at the professor and other students. A lot of the communication
introductory relates back to the learned vocabulary words and
college level knowledge of the grammatical rules in regard to verbs.

Analyze the X I was lucky to have many of my history courses relating to

impact of history, prehistoric medicine, so a lot of this revolved around
geography, and looking at perspectives of different civilizations and seeing
socio-cultural how their culture influenced the way they viewed disease
dynamics on and treatments. For example, some cultures incorporated
global religion into how they believe people became ill and some
interactions from civilizations did not place God and religious beliefs into
a variety of how they practiced medicine. The analysis of these
disciplinary situations was important in order to compare it to how
perspectives medicine has evolved and how it exists today.
Analyze current X In my two religion courses, there has been a lot of analysis
and historical of different religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and
events through Islam. Studying these is a perfect incorporation of
the lens of spirituality and faith but also connecting both things to
spirituality and important historical events that occurred within those eras
faith of time.

Assess privilege X There have been class discussions and small group
and oppression discussions I have participated in that assessed the racial
from the tensions in the USA over the past year and also from a
perspective of historical perspective. I have completed some assignments
culture, race, that incorporated COVID-19 and how it affected certain
class, and gender races more than others and for what reasons, sometimes
relating to both culture and gender.

Generate and X I completed lab reports which involved following

analyze numerical procedures to gather numerical and scientific data. This
and scientific data information was then used and analyzed to form
conclusions and make an eventual hypothesis based on
the supporting evidence. The analysis of this
information was important because it almost brought
the numbers to life.

Locate and X I was given assignments in which I was given a topic

analyze regarding a current event and had to find news videos
expressive media and other media that were related to the event/issue
to gain and provide analysis on these media through written
information or papers and sometimes audio recordings of myself. Some
comprehend the events were related to the election, COVID, politics,
significance of an sports, and scientific research/
issue or an event

Organize and X I did research and put together facts about HIV in my
manage Microbiology course and created a PSA in order to
resources in a educate the public. This was a great way to achieve
creative way to impact, specifically for anyone wanting more
achieve impact information on what HIV was and how they can prevent
it. The resources here was all the information I had and
it had to be organized in a way to grab the audience’s
attention.

Find, evaluate, X Many of my classes featured writing research papers on

and apply certain topics which required all three components of
information this. In my neuroscience class information had to be
found from peer-reviewed sources, evaluated to pick
out which pieces were appropriate to cite, then applied
to the specific topic and put into my own words.

Interpret X For assignments particularly in my laboratory courses, I

quantitative and was tasked with taking numbers gathered and forming a
qualitative hypothesis that was backed on with logic based on
information to these numbers. In some instances, with regard to
present a logical chemicals I analyzed the quality of what was being
argument based studied to help support a hypothesis.

Demonstrate X I was given many case studies and through class

ethical decision- discussions and written papers, I had to put myself in the
making shoes of the person/people in the case study and make a
grounded in decision about a certain issue that was ethical. Much of
philosophical this decision making was based off of ideas of famous
inquiry philosophers, thus bringing in a philosophical aspect.

Apply Catholic X For a few assignments, mainly papers, PowerPoints, and

social teaching sometimes class discussions, I had the opportunity to pick
to the analysis of a social issue that appealed to me personally and come up
contemporary with possible solutions to that issue with the use of
social issues Catholic social teaching strands. An example of this is “life
 and dignity of the human person” to apply to feeding the
hungry.

Recognize the X Writing a paper on the Islam religion and the differences
value of diverse there are from Christianity and other religious perspectives
spiritual and was meaningful to me in the sense that I can appreciate
religious other people’s beliefs and rituals even if they do not
perspectives necessarily coincide with my own belief system. The value
of diversity allows us to accept one another despite our
differences.

Integrate the X For my Connections course I did a service project and was
practice of given the opportunity to reflect on this “charity” through
charity with the the Catholic social teaching strands. I also practiced charity

different community service and incorporate it with the
lessons being taught in class.
