Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II

Is the use of Standardized Tests Improving Education in America? One of the concerns of evaluative testing is its true purpose and what aspect does it truly fulfill. In a nation of cumulative scrutiny and evaluation the purpose of testing is first to measure a student’s progress and assimilation of given material and as well as ability to evolve. As tests are prepared to reflect an analysis of overall progress of students area by area so does the need to ensure fairness, equality and equivancy with a look of guidance to ensure a viewpoint to measure the mental acuity of each student. But in effect standardized tests cannot measure the curriculum but it more or less serves as a guideline to ensure that the basic skills are being assimilated. Therefore, actively standardized tests are limited in its ability to gauge what is needed to generate whether it can state that fairness exists in these tests.
Affective bias is a level that all standardized test have because of cultural differences, levels of supportive family education, interactive ability, social consensus, peer association and pressure, English level of English spoken and read, mental acuity and awareness, level of understanding and ability to process and other factors.
Therefore, in effect the scorage is not a true representation but is rendered in progressive bias when comparisons are done between races due to a lack of communication equivalency and a lack of educational ability to progress due to a lack of exposure and narrowed unexpanded life. Unfortunately, when a rendering of a decision of ability, talent and mental acuity the depressed segments of the populace reflect inability, not capable of assimilation and looked as dismal people incapable of absorbing any type of knowledge but the basic of the basic.
Summarily, standardized tests are limited evaluations but serve as tested, accumulated data to reflect that in the impoverished communities a similar curriculum is not being taught and that the terminology, written cases are like a foreign language and cause extreme difficulty due
to ignorance and not mental acuity. Without exposure to widen the horizons with more written

details this in itself causes an inability to progress or accumulate a more logical approach and ableness to become more competitive on tests as more knowledge is gained and absorbed.
Therefore, the testing of students will always have an inherency of unfairness, bias and flaw in the ability to test and make a true summation that basic skills are being taught properly, as well as that it reveals a seemingly hidden mockery of the education system when the reflections or consequences found are known that Black students are not being taught the same as White students. Further, the systematic oppression is buried in the form and presentation of education and the standardized test is proof needed that these tests are based upon willing oppression and regulatory position in a country of suppression.
The cumulative ability of these students are hindered and hampered and that the stereotypes are reinforced by the scorage on test and reflective reception. As such the change has to be done to change the act and presentation of education to an equal level to ensure exposure to terminology, language development, reading comprehension, math, and sciences are done to be used as a focal point in daily life. By doing this all will be able to have better scores and avenues of success.
Once again the question is posed does the use of Standardized Tests Improve Education in America? In the evaluating of this question are three pros and one con: Pro 2 - Standardized tests are reliable and objective measures of student achievement, Pro 4 - Standardized tests are inclusive and non-discriminatory because they ensure content is equivalent for all, Pro 7 - Standardized tests are narrowing the curriculum, rather they are focusing it on important basic skills all students need to master, Con 8 - Standardized tests are not objective.
In the evaluating of Pro 2, although used as a reliable source with objective measures to evaluate progress and student’s achievement. The cumulative pool of statistical data is biased,
racist with deliberate acts to reflect incapability and a huge gap in the assimilation

capability between the Black race, Caucasian race, Latino, Hispanic, Chinese and any other minority race. But as a reflective and evaluative tool it is not a fair estimation or an equal measure of mental acuity. Further bias is reflective because of cultural differences and it cannot reflect that supportive family education is a factor in a student’s ability or that a need for interactive content is necessary in the process of assisting assimilation. Also, the cultural differences reflect norms in speaking, terminology with logical sequence to assist in the process of mental processing and analysis.
Although a multiple-choice test these tests are geared and compiled with not the Black students whose cultural inherency is absent of formulated English which makes a consensus of inability to gauge ability, aptitude and level of reasoning ability. Because a huge disparity exist between the scorages this reflects a severe underestimation of reasoning knowledge, mental acuity and possible logistics. These affective states of severe differences reflects an inherency of deliberate unfairness and systematic oppression and racism buried in the form and presentation of education and standardized tests to retain oppression and a regulatory position in a country of suppression.
In the evaluating of Pro 4, in relation to the position held by Michelle Rhee, former Washington, DC, school chancellor, that alternate tests for minorities or exempting children with disabilities would be unfair. A test that has deliberate racism associated with it is not fidelitous to any methodology or purpose to estimate a consistent pattern of education is being relayed. What it will do is gain a position of estimation that approximates whether Black people are being deliberately hampered to sneer at and keep them in a position in this country to be viewed as superlative illiterate.
Further this is not a civil rights issue it is a criminal act against a populace of the Black people deliberately short changed by hatred, meaness and willingness to use and exploit a race

with no home to call their own. A system of inequality is a blasé attempt to spread a blinder to the world that attempts were made to teach but receptiveness is not enabled but a violent and animalistic mannerism that repels all “civilized people”.
In the evaluating of Pro 7, the curriculum as given is reposit in that it is an insufficient challenge that focus on the bare bones of the basic bones of education with that in mind any impact is near mute because the concept becomes a serious, hilarious amusement. But with expanded exploratory educational ventures it becomes a more intensified testing to raise internal pride, as well as develop expanded student achievement.
In the evaluating of Con 8, in the case of standardized test not being objective the analysis as conclusive clearly reflects a racist approach and cause a flag to raise because it can be considered a civil matter and therefore a supportive in a case of intentional suppression, hate and oppression and intentional servitude. Further the testing proves that students whether Black or minority have not been exposed to certain reading comprehension, math of a higher level, sciences that exceed the basic because knowledge is known of the inability because of the lack in structuralized learning to absorb and assimilate the material.
In relation, these tests range in ability to be used for child and adolescent evaluations that cover not only assimilated educational information but also establish guidelines to analysis of possible autism, mental thinking incapacity, intellectual ability, developmental, adaptive
behavior, achievement levels, language fluency and knowledge, social capacity, neuro-psychological functioning, parallel behavioral and emotional functioning. As such these tests hope to give a measure of validity, efficacy and predictive power. Because these tests are more or less heavily relied upon and affect the curriculum taught these summarizations of scorage is
effective in denying the need for accountability because they are geared to teach to the test which enables ability to pass the test but does not guarantee conductive learning or ability to
Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II

comprehensively evolve further due to a lack of critical thinking skills that are absent as well as logistics.
Further the tests are reflective of three things as follows: What is learned in school, outside of school and innate intellectual ability. Therefore, the scorage is reflective only of what is learned in schools due to controlled and structured curriculum. If the curriculum is narrowed then also is the accountability which also reflects a huge disparity that will continue to grow until the marginalized groups are reduced to incapacity and subsequent view of incapability in achievement disparity.
Consequently, the standardized tests are supposed to work in complement to increase a student’s growth and achievement not use it to narrow the curriculum. Also, as a tool it can be used to ascertain what is needed to allow growth, how to retain and assimilate learning and obtain the approximate content knowledge to increase students’ achievement on these tests. Without effort these standardized tests although controversial are “high-stakes” for students because the American education system is still a failing entity for mostly the impoverish students which is seen as normal but not necessarily so for students of middle class and the upper classes.
Further, “… the Great Recession wreaked havoc among working-class families’ employment. This has led to greater residential segregation and homogenously poor neighborhoods, leading to a higher concentration of poor students in certain schools” (Neuman,2013, p.18). Because this also affects the taught curriculum due to overcrowding with a resulting factor of questionable scores on standardized testing that are clearly not a credible source. A reduced curriculum also results in inability to participate with full coherency and as such “Correlational studies show a strong relationship between high poverty and poor academic performance (Sirin, 2005; White, 1988; White et al., 1993). As such a “one-size fits all” curriculum is counterintuitive and counterproductive in a society that values individualization,
Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II

differentiation, and customization and that it may place too much emphasis on standardized testing while discouraging teacher autonomy (Stancill, 2013; Westervelt, 2014; Tienken & Zhao, 2010).
Because of this in theory the costs are high to all involved in the educational process because poverty equates to failure and in its own state oppression and suppression. Therefore, the bias are conclusive of a hidden agenda to keep a regulated people suppressed, unknown and looked at as discard. In its own purpose standardized tests does achieves some of its goals but it is written and geared to continue oppression for without thought mankind is nothing but pure animal instinct.
Lastly, enculturation or group identification as with the theory of intentional suppression and oppression allows clarity and vision of what the missing link is? The missing link is equated to fairness, equality in regard to freedom and educational rights to challenge the stereotype and best it and build a bridge for all to evolve to higher thought with all critical purpose, logistics and educated refined thought.

PHIL210 CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION 11
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree with your point that critical thinking is a definite "skill". I also agree that finding a status of where you are is also a good position to ascertain what needs to be done and changed. Modification and absorbing of differing changes in what life is about and the reflection of what critical thinking is.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I appreciate your post because it signifies a lot of what I feel will be helpful to me in the future. Also, the act of bias is extremely powerful and it is either for or against and the more internalized and embedded the worst it can be for someone, a project or a modification. Further, I like to look at problem solving like a flow chart either internally and then on paper.
Thank you.

CURRENT DQ:
"Reflection"
Reflect on what you have learned in this class. Describe the significant ways in which you would be able to utilize critical thinking in your personal and professional life.
This class has allowed the ability to understand present and past speech in writing varying projects. How to make an argument, use a fallacy and other additional and interesting variations in writing that can be incorporated in reports, presentations and other numerous forms of writing. Also, it has allowed assimilation of what professional values are. Further it has increased my evaluative talents and ability to be more critical and exacting to further expand a project. Lastly, it has helped me realize written visualization portrays the self and ability to evolve and change directions of critical thinking.
Changing perception is also conclusive of critical thinking and that without a certain resistance inability of change becomes locked. Evidential progress is made by critical thinking when it evolves and the procedure of documentation and exploratory thought becomes easier.
Discuss at least two (2) key concepts that you felt were most impactful to you this term and the manner in which you might use these concepts in the future.
Two key concepts that were most impactful is the uniqueness of the English language and the difficulty that has in interpreting meanings and that is not a blasé affair when writing differing trickery in a passage here or passage there. Further that the meaning can be seen differently by whomever is interpreting. I will always try to retain what I learned in this class. It has been interesting and challenging and I appreciate all I have learned.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I enjoyed your post it was very interesting and as an objective critical thinking is a good accessory to have. Critical thinking to me is the core of thought and reflective of a past time that I enjoy very much. Further critical thinking is also an underscore to honesty, integrity and authenticity and also as you stated consistent.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree with you that critical thinking is a wonderful tool and it is a good complement to a good sharp mind. Although challenging it can enlighten and enthrall as the project unfolds, develops and progresses. Further, I agree that good decisions are paramount to elixir and a personal fulfillment and glory. Also, critical thinking is a success in itself because it is like the propellar that propels the ship forward. I enjoyed reading your post.

"The Value of Critical Thinking"
CURRENT DQ:
Give your opinion on whether being an effective critical thinker makes decision making easier or more challenging. Justify your response.
An effective critical thinker makes decision making easier by utilizing tools that are enhanced to critique an evaluation, theory, proposal or argument. By acquiring critical thinking ideas or skills the ability to expand and expound on ideas become a relatively easier proposition. The areas dealing with precision and properties are enabled to be clarified and simplified because the perspective is broadened as well as the state of concentration and thinking. Thinking evolves to thought when it allows a concentration of inward mentality to critique a concept, theory or questionable analogy to preview it and intelligently make decision making.
In relation to thinking are the five thinking steps: synthesism, idealism, pragmatism in thought, analysism and realism thought which are used in theoretical approaches to comprise and make a critical thought platform. Therefore, as a consequence with this as formative tools and evaluative thought the challenges become less formidable.
Consider the following statement: “The major difference between a successful person and one that is not successful is that the successful person, over time, tends to make better decisions than the less successful person.” Discuss whether or not you believe this statement to be true. Explain the fundamental ways in which effectively applying critical thinking concepts has helped you to become more successful.
The theory of whether a successful person or an unsuccessful person makes better decisions is a relative quandary. It is impossible to generalize and determine or judge between the two that good decisions are made by successful people or if unsuccessful people are capable of making bad decisions only. The associative value cannot be a dependency because successful people fail and also those who were previously deemed unsuccessful became successful because they started making better decisions.
Therefore, decisions are consequently a learned experience, a visual experience that is witnessed first and second handed and lastly a cumulative adapted characteristic. Furthermore, because of this the theory cannot be supported due to too many fluctuations, variables and ability to change routes and reroute to accommodate changes in ideas, concept and alternating scenarios that help change and evolve people and therefore decisions.
The fundamental ways in which applying critical thinking concepts have helped myself become more successful is that it has helped create an additional pattern of thinking, a more critical analysis and an ability to be more of a skeptic and enabled the ability to progress thought and expand it by segmentation with alternating routes and subroutes that form a near endless amount of continuance. Consequently, this has helped me become successful.
Thank you.

Consequently, better decisions become a part the self and direct portrayal of you.
Explain the fundamental ways in which effectively applying critical thinking concepts has helped you to become more successful.
Critical thinking has evolved my approach as well as my ability to be more thorough. As times continues there are varying fundamental ways that allow critical thinking to be embedded and internalized, e.g., changing thought to concepts and logistics, changing bias to objectivity, expansion of thought and also streamlining the unnecessary to what is actually needed and also the ability to incorporate new thoughts and branching off into different areas.

Explain the fundamental ways in which effectively applying critical thinking concepts has helped you to become more successful.
Critical thinking has evolved my approach as well as my ability to be more thorough. As times continues there are varying fundamental ways that allow critical thinking to be embedded and internalized, e.g., changing thought to concepts and logistics, changing bias to objectivity, expansion of thought and also streamlining the unnecessary to what is actually needed and also the ability to incorporate new thoughts and branching off into different areas.

"The Value of Critical Thinking"
CURRENT DQ:
Give your opinion on whether being an effective critical thinker makes decision making easier or more challenging. Justify your response.
An effective critical thinker makes decision making easier by utilizing tools that are enhanced to critique an evaluation, theory, proposal or argument. By acquiring critical thinking ideas or skills the ability to expand and expound on ideas become a relatively easier proposition. The areas dealing with precision and properties are enabled to be clarified and simplified because the perspective is broadened as well as the state of concentration and thinking. Thinking evolves to thought when it allows a concentration of inward mentality to critique a concept, theory or questionable analogy to preview it and intelligently make decision making.
In relation to thinking are the five thinking steps: synthesism, idealism, pragmatism in thought, analysism and realism thought which are used in theoretical approaches to comprise and make a critical thought platform. Therefore, as a consequence with this as formative tools and evaluative thought the challenges become less formidable.
Consider the following statement: “The major difference between a successful person and one that is not successful is that the successful person, over time, tends to make better decisions than the less successful person.” Discuss whether or not you believe this statement to be true. Explain the fundamental ways in which effectively applying critical thinking concepts has helped you to become more successful.
The theory of whether a successful person or an unsuccessful person makes better decisions is a relative quandary. It is impossible to generalize and determine or judge between the two that good decisions are made by successful people or if unsuccessful people are capable of making bad decisions only. The associative value cannot be a dependency because successful people fail and also those who were previously deemed unsuccessful became successful because they started making better decisions.
Therefore, decisions are consequently a learned experience, a visual experience that is witnessed first and second handed and lastly a cumulative adapted characteristic. Furthermore, because of this the theory cannot be supported due to too many fluctuations, variables and ability to change routes and reroute to accommodate changes in ideas, concept and alternating scenarios that help change and evolve people and therefore decisions.
The fundamental ways in which applying critical thinking concepts have helped myself become more successful is that it has helped create an additional pattern of thinking, a more critical analysis and an ability to be more of a skeptic and enabled the ability to progress thought and expand it by segmentation with alternating routes and subroutes that form a near endless amount of continuance. Consequently, this has helped me become successful.
Thank you.

Consequently, better decisions become a part the self and direct portrayal of you.

"Ethics and Trust in Critical Thinking Decision"
Imagine you are seeking information on a new car that you are thinking of buying. Determine the level of trust that you would place in information provided by the following: a salesman at the car lot, the dealer’s Website, social media (i.e. Facebook), an associate from work, and finally a close friend. Discuss the key factors involved in assessing the amount of trust that you put into each.
The level of trust that I would place in the information provided by the following: salesman at the car lot, the dealer’s Website, social media (i.e. Facebook), an associate from work, and finally a close friend.
Salesman – The amount of trust would pertain to a knowledgeable display, ability to answer questions about the vehicle, have comparative data of similar vehicles and have a list of companies that don’t report an inquiry.
Dealer’s Website – This website would gain trust if it reflects a true cost of the vehicle, is honest about any problems with the vehicle and guarantees his or her word.
Social Media – This would gain partial trust but I would still have to investigate and guarantee accuracy.
Associate from work – With this person from work I would have partial trust but I would still investigate it further.
Close Friend – I would gain partial trust but I would investigate for accuracy and confirm it for myself.
The key factors involved in assessing the amount of trust that I put into each interaction would be dependent on the level of reliability, confidence instilled, caution before jumping into a scenario and lastly are they equitable to myself.
If you were in a position to persuade another person, explain whether or not you would slant information in such a way as to make your point seem more credible if you sincerely believed that your position was correct. Discuss the primary ethical dilemmas that this scenario could cause for both you and the person whom you are trying to persuade.
If I was in a position to persuade another person I would not slant or manipulate a situation to accommodate my point. To facilitate support I would have to have evidence or facts to make my position nearly undefeatable. Further If I am sure my point is supported by being accurate and factual I would stand with it because it is correct.
The primary ethical dilemmas that this scenario causes for both myself and the person to be persuaded is a possible violation if manipulation is used. With the state of manipulation is to sometimes deliberately misinterpret a point or twist an argument, fact or scenario to favor the interest of self and again be violating ethical principle by using falsehoods to gain trust for a duplicitous goal.
As a follow-up the consequences would be lack of trust, suspicion, dislike and hate for misleading and taking advantage.

I agree that language is a fidelity to verbal expression and of allowing expression of "languageless thinking". Also, I agree that it is possible to think without language but as it evolves the images allow the ability to learn and then relay thoughts using a differing pattern to communicate and voice thought.
Thank you.
Felicia
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
In response to your theory that dialect is not conclusive to thinking, if you think about it dialect is inclusive of each language differing sound patterns and allows the composing of mental thinking to flow to verbal expression of language. Therefore, dialect affects the communication and thought pattern and expression of complete phraseology and compiled completion and formulation of reasoning and cognitive ability. Further, reasoning is part of the mental components that help form thought, verbal ability and consequently language which has various dialects depending on areas in each country.
Pictures and impressions are synonymous with hidden messages and therefore comes the connection of “languageless” thinking by conveyance of an image that speaks centuries later. I agree that a dialect cannot be conveyed but thoughts and images can be gathered because it is a stimuli.

CURRENT DQ:
"The Relationship Between Language and Thinking"
Consider the following quote by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who believed that thought without language was impossible: “The limits of my language are the limits of my life.” For more information on Wittgenstein and his analysis on the primacy of language, watch the video “Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) The Limits of Language”, located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgW_PFl-Xs4. Next, examine whether or not it is possible to think without using language. If you believe it is possible, describe the primary ways in which a person might enact so-called “languageless” thinking. If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with languageless thinking.
The primary ways in which a person might enact so-called “languageless” thinking is by behavior modes that convey volumes of unspoken communication, the act of mimicry and non-verbal communication. With these three ways of communication it is versely limited and poorly structured but facilitates a purpose of conversing thought. The study of language is called linguistic and it is the purpose of composing and allocating communication of thought in recognizable patterns whether encoded, auditory, visual or by tactile stimuli. Because of this language is independent and dependent in variations of adoption of infusing cultural mergence and changes in societal acceptance and modality.
Consequently, the cognitive ability is immersed in thought and it is affected by “languageless thinking” that assist in the ability to change and evolve. Therefore, the act of semiosis assist because it relates to signs and meanings that perform to make sequences as morphemes and syntactic systems to help govern words and morphemes in phraseology and utterances.
As such a shared intentionality is conclusive because it supports that a “languageless” thinking was a beginning and persist in communicative modes and discussion. Consequently, language is entrenched or is like braille in the human mind. As braille “languageless” thinking becomes a phenomenon that assist in the present state of the human psyche that scream “I think therefore I am”.
Lastly, because the human psyche is involved as well as the brain that has progressed to allow formulation of thought to think then communication then language is clarity in the process of communication. The ever changing of society and societal interpretation “languageless” thinking will always exist as well as the progression from that phase to verbal thought and spoken thought. Further, there is no problem communication is a prevalency that must continue the evolution of the human species as well as its ability to continue norms, thought and deeds.

Quotes
“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi
In relation to the quote by Jalauddin Rumi, the quote by interpretation that all language as well as silence is the golden rod of God. Another translation is inept because without his word there can be no silence. In retrospect, if silence is all that is God who is the one that gives us internal thought and spoken thought and will.
Consequently, the spoken and unspoken are “languageless”thinking because all interactions with God are not defined but are as his will. As such the conversation with God is his and his ability to enact the state of “languageless” thinking and is realized by all with the open concept of belief and secret.
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
In relation to the quote by John Steinbeck, the quote by interpretation is unique because of the word timshel that speaks volumes of trust and love in a single word and gives the right of unspoken communication between God and man. Hidden with love of his will and sweetness it is “languageless” thought and thinking because he is the highest of love in the world that gives the right to say yes or no to defying of his word and law. Further, the free right to choose is open to man to obey or not therefore it is possible to think without using language because we all know sin and without thought we step from it or to it. Therefore, “languageless” thinking is always possible with God for it is always in conference and with him all things are possible for all if you believe.
“It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.”
― Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot
In relation to the quote by Stephen Fry, the quote by interpretation is interesting because it realizess that even the eventualities proved by “languageless” thinking that they herald to nothing when it came to the point. That those scenario nightmares became sublime and became the beneficial thought that channeled themselves intensities that evolved the concept of thought and made it a brilliance of wit that laughed at itself and became not a mockery but a muse to follow which stunned the self and propelled the self. Therefore, “languageless” thinking is possible because it became internalized and changed the methodology and evolved which makes all realize that this can be emulated.

"Problem Solving Interview Question"
Respond to this typical interview question: Explain a specific example in which you utilized problem solving strategies to resolve a problem in the real world.
Example:
A way in which I used a problem solving strategy was when I worked in the Assessor’s Office in the City of Saginaw. My proposal and draft of a form was submitted to my boss to make processing incoming requests for services to be provided to help efficiency, accuracy and assist the other appraisers in the office to gather details to make address changes, name changes, mortgage changes and any other changes needed that would make my processing of incoming information more expedient and keep accuracy and records correct.
By using critical thinking, I used analysis and gathering of details that pertained to the form and what is asked regularly and this helped compile my proposal and request and relay it to my supervisor.
Provide your feedback from the perspective of an interview coach to at least three (3) of your classmates.
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
The process sounds great and knowing the If Then and Buts is what makes it easier for your client to interface with you and doing your job. As a job coach, I would suggest always having a visual display to ensure all are on the same page with suggestions that might streamline and save money as well. This is always a good seller.
Thank you.

"Problem Solving Interview Question"
Imagine you are interviewing for a job you really want.
The interviewer asks you the following question: “Explain a specific example in which you used critical thinking/problem solving strategies to solve a problem in the real world.”
What is your answer to the question?
An example that I used critical thinking would be the merging of time with classes to help facilitate a broader outlook for my future job as a teacher, counselor, writer to allow a more fluent pattern of growth and exploratory ability to become more analytical and faster compiling theories and questions to a problem to help others.
Choose one classmate’s own response to the interviewer’s question. If you are a job coach, what suggestions would you make to maximize his or her answer to the interview question?
If I was an interview coach my goal would be to stress first interpersonal skill, cooperative ability and the ability to evolve the position and be able to treat all with courtesy and accept criticism to correct and reroute.

Provide your feedback from the perspective of an interview coach to at least three (3) of your classmates.
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
The process sounds great and knowing the If Then and Buts is what makes it easier for your client to interface with you and doing your job. As a job coach, I would suggest always having a visual display to ensure all are on the same page with suggestions that might streamline and save money as well. This is always a good seller.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
As a job coach, I commend you on your fast thinking, empathy and maturity in reconciling a no-win situation. Not only did you retain the customer as a client … you helped retain that the business respects all customers. Further, I feel that training to sensitize employees with various scenarios will teach courtesy, self-respect and caution because lawsuits do happen.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
If I was your job coach, I would stress that retracking mentally and visualizing what could be wrong then as you did wait a period, scale the scene and find the flaw and keep the work load going smooth. Patience and coolness with precision gets it done always.
Thank you.

UPDATED DQ:
"Problem Solving Interview Question"
Imagine you are interviewing for a job you really want.
The interviewer asks you the following question: “Explain a specific example in which you used critical thinking/problem solving strategies to solve a problem in the real world.”
What is your answer to the question?
An example that I used critical thinking would be the merging of time with classes to help facilitate a broader outlook for my future job as a teacher, counselor, writer to allow a more fluent pattern of growth and exploratory ability to become more analytical and faster compiling theories and questions to a problem to help others.
Choose one classmate’s own response to the interviewer’s question. If you are a job coach, what suggestions would you make to maximize his or her answer to the interview question?
If I was an interview coach my goal would be to stress first interpersonal skill, cooperative ability and the ability to evolve the position and be able to treat all with courtesy and accept criticism to correct and reroute.
RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
If I was your job coach, I would say yes to a promotion and keep thinking of great ideas. This is an excellent strategy when a short staff is all you have and knowing how to keep the public happy and keep the quality great is what makes the game continue.
Thank you.
