Core Competencies Reflection Topic: communication
Paragraph 1: My first selection for this topic was, “Connect and engage with others (to share and develop ideas)”. I personally feel this was positively portrayed by my peers and I.•”I ask and respond to simple, direct questions”. During this project many questions were asked, requiring actions. I personally believe that i took the leadership role during this project, helping everyone. I often answered several questions alone and with the contribution of my peers.”I am an active listener; I support and encourage the person speaking”. This happened several times throughout the project. Firstly this was a major aspect of presentations, by listening to the speakers I feel I improved my own. Secondly, when developing the project, listening to peers was essential.”I recognize that there are different points-of-view and I can disagree respectfully. In my group people would often fool around, requiring someone to put them on task. This was often me, wanting to keep the level productive it was required to be completed respectfully. This was not easy to always complete, forcing me to learn over time.In Conclusion this project was not only a success yet a huge learning lesson.
Acquire, interpret, and present information (includes inquiries)
I personally feel I positively portrayed the act above during this assignment.I present information clearly and in an organized way. Firstly, great leadership was taken during and in preparation for the presentation. Before the presentation, I decided that communicating the roles and contributions of everyone was essential. This allowed everyone to find their individual roles, settling for this play greatly. Eventually this method positively transferred over into the presentation. I can understand and share information about a topic that is important to me. I personally felt this topic was essential to me. When reading the short stories I took great.interest and value within this role. As a a person I felt it was essential to do well during this presentation. I can present information and ideas to an audience I may not know. During this time The class was not very well acquainted, making it a bit nerve racking. My team during the play took great leadership and decided to be ourselves, during the play this transformed the mood into fun and bonding. In conclusion, My team overcame some difficulties to a great result.
Explain/recount and reflect on experiences and accomplishments
During the project my group was required to overcome many difficulties. I give, receive, and act on feedback. Personally Believe I over did this during the project.My group often got off task, rather than being calm and mature, I rather yelled at them. I had enough and was desperate on finishing the project. I could have rather been calm about it and allowed them to take a chance, making the group more productive. I can recount simple experiences and activities and tell something I learned. During this project I personally learned a lot as a person. In the project I learned a lot about working in a group certainly being more even. I learned that I rather should be more equal with roles, putting less pressure on myself.I can represent my learning, and tell how it connects to my experiences and
efforts. after the project I had trouble representing my learning. i was overwhelmed of the amount of pressure I put on myself. I could have rather allowed others to take more roles, making it easier apon myself. In conclusion, this project was a great learning lesson.
