Core Competency: Critical Thinking

 

I can Monitor my progress, and adjust my actions to make sure that I achieve what I want. I feel that I met this goal whist working on this project. I did most of the work on this project throughout the winter break, and I feel like I managed myself well. I broke this assignment up throughout the break, doing even parts of work throughout the days, leading to me finish on time. I fell behind a couple times, but I was able to recover, eventually leading to a good finished project that I was happy with.

 

I can consider more than one way to proceed an investigation. I met this goal while I was researching. Sometimes I would get stuck on websites, not finding the information that I needed. To counter this I would research using another source of information. Whether that was just another website or, actually asking someone else who did this project how they found their information. This proved to help me positively, and I feel comfortable with what information I was able to put out.

 

I can experiment with different ways of doing things. I achieved this by researching in different ways. When I was researching I didn’t use just one source. I had to use different sources. That would mean that I had to use different sources. While I was trying to sit e my sources, some of them had missing information. I would then have to look through websites differently, trying to find the necessary information. Doing this got all my citations done and my entire project was copyright free, leading to a better mark.

 

Ways I want to improve are…

If I were to do this again, I think that I would definitely try to get this project done sooner. I feel like if I used my class time better, than I could have my entire break and not have to do homework.

Core Competency: Creative Thinking

 

 

I build on others ideas and add new ideas of my own, or combine other people’s ideas in. I think that I achieved this goal when we were coming up with an idea for this project. When we were coming up with a product that we wanted to make. We ended up deciding on a small tracking device, but we couldn’t just do that because that was already a real life thing. I decided that it would be cool if we could add something new like being able to stick it to things. Thus not only building off my partners ideas but also building off real life products.

 

I get ideas that are new to my peers. I think that I achieved this goal in a few different ways. I was able to generate a lot of ideas during the brainstorming phase. I was able to add new interesting ideas to other ideas of different products that we were doing. I also was able to come up with unique ideas that we were able to use for our marketing. One idea I had was using an Instagram tag that if you scanned it, it would take you right to the Instagram page.

 

I have deliberate strategies for quieting my conscious mind. (E.G. by walking away). I was able to come up with a few different things. One thing that I would do is taking a break. Taking a break would help me destress and then I could come back to it later and keep going. Another strategy I had was listening to music. Music keeps my calm and focused while I work. I think that doing these things really ended up helping me finish the project well and on time.

 

Ways I want to improve are…

One thing that I would like to improve one is procrastinating less. It is a problem that I have had pretty much the entire time I have been in school. Even though I still got this in on time, I think it would still be goo
