Paragraph One: “Connecting and engaging with others”
Since in this assignment we could choose our groups I choose people that I have known for over two years now. My two partners were Jaiden and Yale, I have known Yale ever since grade three so we have some connections as for Jaiden I have known him for around two years and we both are interested in the same things so it was easier for us to get to communicate our ideas. Since we have talked lots of times before doing this lab we were not shy and didn’t have to spend time trying to get to know each other and this paid off as we did this lab in a concise time so we had time to record our observations and our data in one day instead of multiple. This had really helped us with our presentation and our sway because of the time that we had to work on this, also when we were doing this lab we had a week to do the sway so we had put all of our attention to that instead of the project and that is why I believe that we got one or two questions off the entire project.

Paragraph Two:
Another way that I had shown my communication was that we had great ideas and plans to collaborate with my ideas to my group members. We had been in group projects before and there was no struggle while doing this as stated in my last paragraph however we did have some good ideas that had made us excel in this lab. One of these was giving everyone apart to do early so then we had time to finish and everyone would get an equal amount of work. This system worked for us and so we had slicked with it. MY role in this lab was to do the Phet simulations, materials, hypothesis and procedure, this was not that challenging to do however I was very busy that weekend so I had to finish it quickly and I couldn’t get distracted. We all agreed on the same ideas one way or another but some parts we didn’t as in some people didn’t do what they were told some of the time. However, this only happened at certain moments and it didn’t happen very often which was good

Paragraph 3:
One thing that I could have improved on was I can give positive feedback and act on feedback that others give me. This is because when I see some do something wrong I try and point out their mistake and remind them calmly to do it next time. However, someone in our group did it continuously and that got on my nerves because our group got all there stuff done however he had not done it yet. This wasn’t a huge issue in our grade standpoint but because he didn’t do it we were now behind a little because of that. I try and associate myself as a leader when we do these labs and or group projects so I don’t really like to listen to others criticize my ideas and choices. I think that I need to change this mindset and I’m trying to do that currently. Overall I think that this lab was a good learning experience and that we could’ve improved some things but it was fine for the most part. If there was one thing that I could change it would probably be the group for a more hardworking one but I like working with my friends and that’s what I would pick over people that I didn’t know as well or at all.
