The Writing Process

There’s much to say about my experience doing the novel review. I found parts I enjoyed and parts I did not. I enjoyed the process of reading the book as it is very interesting. However, I struggled with finding the plot points as it is somewhat relative. I thought I would have found it more difficult to present in front of the class, but I was surprisingly more calm than I expected.

Core Competency Reflection

I remain open-minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I was deciding on what to do for the initiating incident. I had to choose between two options, and I clearly thought about each option and made a decision based on the evidence. I compile and synthesize information to draw reasoned conclusions, such as when I wrote my reflections and quotes. I assembled a presentation where I stated my thoughts, as well as supported conclusions I drew from the book. I appreciate feedback on my presentation skills and prefer it to come in the form of constructive criticism. Something I need to work on is acquiring information about complex and specialized topics from various sources, synthesizing it, and presenting it with thoughtful analysis. I didn’t put as much thought into my presentation as I would have liked to, so I would like to keep developing the skill.
