Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Storytelling has proved to be a vital tool in my life that has helped me expedite and   improve the outcomes of projects . As an undergraduate student in computer science , I work with budding programmers and spend my time solving problems for a living . A   particular challenge that we faced in the early years at my own university was , that   students were unable to bring their theoretical knowledge and their problem - solving   skills to the machine and implement their solutions as good programs . This was a   very important problem , as it was solely responsible for the deteriorating confidence   of the students and the low quality of education in the university . Surprisingly , using   storytelling as a subtle but meticulously planned tool , we were able to gain a lot of   confidence in our programming skills and subsequently won many competitions .   Storytelling is the most fundamental of the tools , that does n’t just impact the   quantitative results that most organizations care about , but also affect the people   emotionally . 

 Application 

 Improving the quality of programming education and particularly , the problem of   lack of motivation in the students was a problem that required an emotional impact as well as quantitative results . Storytelling seemed to be the perfect tool . The story that   my colleagues and I decided to go ahead with , was that of the legendary programmers and computer scientists . Every day , we began to pick one famous personality in   computer science and went through their work thoroughly . Not only did we immerse   ourselves deeply in the problems that they were trying to solve at that time , we were   intrinsically motivated to solve those problems ourselves as we already knew the   significance of their work . 

 Insight and Approach 

 What our professors quickly realized was that the problem was not the lack of quality education , but the lack of confidence that encumbered the students from writing great code . They decided to go ahead with the “ daily throwback ” model of teaching , where   they presented problems like : writing the algorithm for google search , solving the   shortest path problem etc . When these problems were tied closely with the stories of   the legendary scientists who worked so hard to produce their work , many students   found it so interesting that they never went home until they had at least figured out   how to solve the problem , even if they did n’t have concrete programs running . To   solve the problem of under - confidence , students were paired . Pair - programming was   also implemented after researching about Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat ( legendary computer scientists ) . This practice helped the students in being more open and   garnering an expanded purview about things . Pair programming turned out to be 

 immensely helpful ( following Dean and Ghemawat ’s story ) as compared to a single   person sitting on a machine and bashing her head if she were unable to solve a   problem . Two people always found some ground that they could build on , to solve   problems . Every day , we told ourselves a story about great minds and how they   solved problems . These stories motivated the students and collecting the many pearls   of wisdom from these stories ( example : pair - programming ) enabled us to be more   confident in our skills , learn so much more , win major competitions and by every   metric , prove that the quality of education had increased immensely , just by the   simple act of telling ourselves a new story everyday .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
