Communication

I can ask questions when I am having a hard time understanding and I can be an active listener when people are telling me how to do things or sharing ideas about chemistry. When I understand the information I try to help the people around me by detailing is much as possible when I explain.

Collaborating

I can work with others to achieve my goals. One of the examples would be me doing group labs with others and working together to finish the lab. I try to fairly distribute the work with others so it’s fair for all of us at all times.

Positive Personal and Cultural Identity

I know that my qualities and I can use them to learn things and study them. I am good at listening to things and taking notes. It makes my studying much easier. One of things I can work on is using my time more wisely. I tend to Procrastinate when I need to be studying the most.

Thinking

I can reflect on my actions and try to adjust them in order to become better at something. I am opened minded and I can see things from other peoples view which makes it easier for me to understand them and easier to realize where they could be struggling.

this is the titration lab which was probably my favorite one out of all the labs. The lab needed a lot of concentration and precision to successfully complete the lab. It was fun working with others since we got to take turn on pouring the base to the acid.

Core Competency Reflection

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener.

  • I can listen to people and try to elaborate and help others or at least try.

I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them

  • when I make decisions I tend to think about others as well when it comes to sharing work load or discussing about anything.

I can imagine and work towards change in myself and in the world.

  • I would like to become a better person every second of my life. Once I receive feedback on how to do things better, I try my best.

I can find it easy to be part of a group.

  • I would like to become better at working with groups because I tend to procrastinate a lot more. I will achieve this goal by being more organized and to make a schedule to keep myself organized.

Curricular Competency Reflection

I made ethical judgements by thinking about the law and the side effects of polygamy. I first looked at the law and researched on why it became illegal. I also looked at different countries where polygamy is legal and looked to find the side effects there. I kept reasonable limits in my mind as well just incase if they should be illegal.
