Socials Core Competency Self Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

In Socials 10 this year I am able to go through all assignments and reflect on my thinking or creation of any task and assignment and figure out ways that my thinking can be more descriptive and detailed and show my work or thoughts in a better way in order to excel and complete / hand in my best work. In order to do that I question and challenge aspects of my work in order to see it from different perspectives and create better work overall. If I do find any discrepancies within my work I’m able to redesign and create new ideas while still following the criteria and conducting new ideas. To show my ability to do this I’ve selected a poster project I created on the Persons Case with a partner. This project shows my critical thinking abilities because this project required a lot of re-evaluating in order to condense our project to meet the limited word count. To do that I went through all my work and questioned if it was really adding any new or different information that hadn’t been covered and figuring whether or not to include it or not. I was also able to look at this assignment from different perspectives to understand many of the aspects included even any subliminal ones that may not be noticed at first.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Collaborating in CLE 10

In CLE 10 this year I’m able to contribute during group activities with peers and share roles and responsibilities to achieve goals. The artifact represents collaboration because it was created by a group I was apart of an presented informally to the class. This can be shown during our informal presentations where we are given a set or questions or scenario to work in a group and create something on our sheet of paper and present it together. All group members must do their part in order to get the assignment done and shows everyone’s ability to work together while within class. Collaborating is a helpful skill thats applicable to almost any aspect of your life. You must be able to work alongside people whether it be in a school setting, a workplace, and just in general. I believe that I have this skill because I’m continuously able to work and create things while working with other people in order to get a task done, no matter how close to the person I am. Through the artifact that I chose, I learnt that collaborating doesn’t just mean being able to work alongside others, but also being able to collectively complete a task together while putting in your best effort to help any group you’re apart of create something.

Accounting 11 Critical and Reflective Thinking

Balance Sheet Created on Excel

In this class, I am able to use what I know and observe to identify problems and ask questions, as well as consider more than one way to proceed and make choices based on reasoning and what it is that I am trying to do. In accounting we made financial documents like balance sheets, trial balances and income statements, allowing me to use the skills I have learned to solve problems that may have happened within these financial documents, for example when a financial document was not balanced I had to go back and use strategies to find out what went wrong and how to fix it. Certain problems require specific solutions within accounting and can differ between each financial document, if I am ever unsure of what to do I am able to ask questions and get back on track if I was lost.
