Lesson 2 Reflection




  • What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
    • What I'm most proud of is the fact that everything I did from the hook to the activity flowed smoothly and made sense with my topic
    • a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

    • Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
      • I think I deserve this grade because I really didn't do anything extra to go above and beyond to get an AE. I did what was at least expected according to the contract and hit all the P consideration.
  • What worked for you in your Lesson 2? 
    • What worked for me for my Lesson 2 was the activity I did to help my audience understand what my first answer was and how important it is.
  • What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2? 
    • What didn't work would be the speed at which I talked. I would go back and tell myself to calm down and slow down and take my time.
  • What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
    • What I think it is gonna be is the relationship between the client and the attorney.

  2. Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview. What is the date and time of the interview? 
    • I am still in the works of scheduling an interview with her. 
  3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
    • Is there any specific books that you would recommend me read?
  4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
    • Is there any classes or people I could take or talk to that would help me learn more about Workers' Compensation Law?
  5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ.
    • What are some of the most common issues a lawyer has when dealing with a case or a trial?

Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3



  • State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
    • I do have a mentor, Sharon Bernal, and I am in the process of scheduling an interview.
  • At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   
    • The area I am focusing on Workers' Compensation from both perspectives. I am doing this because I want to expand my knowledge of Workers' Compensation.
  • What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
    • I will be reading from books like, Sullaman on Comp, and articles that my mentor is going to give me.
  • Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
    • What is the most effective way to resolve a Workers' Compensation case?
