During the duration of this class their have been numerous occasions in which I have demonstrated my skills in collaboration. An example of this is during our activity about unions vs companies were I as a member of the union board had to convince the company higher ups to give better working conditions. Me and my fellow union members had to collaborate to come up with substantial points that would persuade the company to increase pay, vacation days, medical coverages, and the overall conditions. Capitalizing on our teamwork we were able to get the best deal from the companies out of all the unions. Furthermore our group was able to get not only the best out of the unions but the best we could have possible have done given the conditions that we were given. Inconclusions my active participation, open communication, and willingness to listen and contribute effectively showcased my strong ability to collaborate and work seamlessly within my union group.

Critical Thinking

During this semester I have utilized critical thinking to dissect and understand questions like the ones in the image above. Question like these required me to analyze the text to identify what equation was needed, the numerical values of the variables that I had, and most importantly the answer that the question was looking for. I was able to complete these questions above by reflecting on past videos/lessons that I have watched. This allowed me access to different perspectives on methods of completion to these questions. In addition practicing using similar questions to the ones above gave me the ability to judge what the question wanted me to solve. In conclusion I have show-cased my critical thinking capabilities through my judgment, reflectiveness, dissection, and analytical abilities.

Firstly, I was able to clearly express my opinions and thoughts to my partner. I was able to tell him what I thought we should do as well as how we should go about doing it.

More over we also were able to evenly distribute the work load based on each others strengths and weaknesses. I took charge of mainly the writing portion because that was were I felt I could do best in this project and my partner mainly took care of the architecture and more visual work.
