Anatomy and Physiology 12 Core Competency Self-Assessment

This is a picture of our dissected fetal pig

Communication

During our fetal pig dissection, I was able to use my communication and collaboration skills to dissect the fetal pig with my group members successfully. Pre-dissection, I was able to actively listen to my teacher’s instructions and ask follow-up questions to get a better understanding of what to do. Throughout the dissection, I worked with my group members to better understand the pig’s anatomy. We discussed/exchanged ideas and shared our opinions and thoughts on where we thought specific organs were. I also worked with my group to come up with a plan to divide our roles so that everyone could contribute equally to the dissection process. Overall, during this lab, I successfully worked with my group members to dissect our fetal pig, identify its organs, and learn more about how the organs worked together to function.
