Core Competency Self-Assessment

Communication, Thinking, Personal Awareness

This is a the full pig that we dissected. It is fully cut open and we can see all of its parts including the heart, intestines, and stomach.

I demonstrated the 3 core competency’s in the piggy dissection lab by communicating, thinking, and personal awareness. We first started with communicating with each other and explaining what it is we all have to do. This would make it easier for us to complete because we all communicated and figured out what we needed to all do. When we struggled, we would talk and come up with new ideas to try and help each other. In order to do so, we needed to think as well. We would be able to come up with better ideas off each other’s so that cutting the pig would be easier and less stressful. When there was a problem or we got stuck, we would stop and think of what to do to overcome the problem together, and would bounce ideas off each other to create the best possible outcome for the project. We had goals to complete at the start of the project, and overtime we would work together and achieve them as well as learn what we were doing. If we had to, we would go in at lunch or flex to finish what we needed to do so that we could still be able to achieve our goals. The next time, we could try and work faster so that we won’t need to go in at lunch or flex, but it wasn’t a huge deal because we still got it done and were able to accomplish the goals that we set.
