Core Competency Self-Assessment

Critical/Reflective Thinking

For the assignment above, I had to apply my knowledge from the cell membrane unit and use it to understand the assignment. For me this was quite difficult to do. I had to really think about what I was going to say. The data table we were given gave us enough information to answer the questions. Also the notes we had taken in class was also going to help you answer the questions. Also the graph was a bit difficult to do. I couldn’t really figure out where to put the x and y-axis. Then I realized the x-axis needs to be in the middle of the graph because their was negative numbers. In this assignment I learned how to apply my knowledge and answer questions thoroughly and to the point.

Position vs. Time Graphs for Constant Velocities Lab

I can analyze evidence to make judgements, by collecting data, and making a graph that correlates with the data. I can give, receive and act on feedback to progress in my goals, getting feedback on my labs and to try not to make the same error on the next lab. I can reflect on my thinking. I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this ‘What did you learn from this lab?’ question. Also for making the position vs. time graphs.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is for the question ‘How are you going to ensure that your walkers/runners are going at a constant velocity for the entire 50m?’. One of my group members said that we should make the walkers/runners start a little behind the start line. I explained to the group why that would be useful to do.
