Anatomy and Physiology 12 Core Competency Self Assessment

Pictured: A male fetal pig (dubbed “Late Lunch, Early Dinner” by the group, “Johnathan Thin” by me) with the entirety of its pharynx, cardiac, and abdominal sections dissected. The cord being propped up by the hexagonal metal probe is the esophagus. No vital signs were detected before, during, or after the dissection.

#ThinkingCC

It is safe to assume that I, along with my group, were thinking during the dissection. There were periods where an outside observer might beg to differ, and one of those temporary but somewhat contagious lapses of judgement came when we were trying to find the esophagus in the midsection of the pig. Our initial guess was the long tube that was fused by cartilage to the dorsal wall of the abdominal cavity, running a line down the middle. There was great debate as to what this tube was – some called it a blood vessel and some called it the esophagus. It did not bleed blue or red latex when lacerated and it was not connected to the stomach (a fact apparently lost among the collective consciousness that had formed sometime between the events of the initial incision and this particular moment in time). It wasn’t even the same color.

That being said, we were sapient throughout the remainder of the lab.

Pictured: A Substance in a Test Tube – Probably Contains Lead

The objective of 19C is for students to determine the solubility product constant of PbI2.

I have showcased my ability to communicate thoroughly with my lab partner(s) when I told one of them to “put the thing on the thing”, as seen in the artifact above. For the sake of anonymity, they will henceforth be referred to as . More examples of when I communicated with was when we collaborated during the laborious process of pouring Pb(NO3)2 and KI into test tubes. postulated the brilliant idea of delegating the pouring of Pb(NO3)2 to me and the KI to him (). What I would improve for next time would be delegating these types of responsibilities with sooner in the timescale of the lab for the purpose of efficiency. God save the king

Leadership Core Competency Reflection

Describe 1 leadership quality you possess and provide an example of that quality; describe 1 leadership skill you possess and provide an example.

COLLABORATIVE

Collaboration is when you work with other people on a common goal. I do this every week on the Cent Show where I have to work with the rest of the CS crew to gather scores from games that happened over the weekend. Like last week, where I got two out of the three scores I needed.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Time Management is when you manage your time effectually. I do this every week on the Cent Show where I actually now have responsibilities I have to keep up with over the weekend (not including studying for whatever nightmare fuel test Asano cooks up). This has, unfortunately, resulted in me having to plan my day out beforehand. Like last week, where I said “im going to do my homework and then edit a bit and then play games”

Describe 1 leadership quality would like to develop by the end of the course; describe 1 leadership skill that you would like to develop.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence is the belief that an outcome will be positive. Pretty self-explanatory. I don’t know how to develop this one.

ABILITY TO TEACH

I want to be able to teach other people how to do a thing correctly and efficiently. I’ll get plenty of practice teaching some would-be editors and being an unofficial peer tutor for my woodworking class.

The Reflection?!?!?!?!?

I can work with others to achieve a goal. Having spent around 2-3 school semesters doing the same thing over and over again, we’ve honed the art of doing something as a group and “achieving the goal”. Instead of taking one hour in constant rush to film an episode, we take two hours while talking salad the entire time. If we still had the time constraint of filming before school, we’d probably take like 30 minutes. Ive always known how to work with others to achieve a goal, I just got better at it.

I feel that I used the core competency of collaborating during the writing of this script given the coordination and implementation skills that were needed during the writing of the script. The group I found myself in was a group of people I already got along with, so sharing and implementing ideas was easier. This absence of difficulty continued with the rehearsal, although we did not pay any attention to our movements – we only practiced pronunciation and emphasis. However, we made many mistakes like forgetting accents, misusing words and highlighting the wrong idioms/transitional phrases. These errors are only technical and would have been catcher given a round of proofreading.

Reflecting On The Lab Itself

Could’ve been better. Add some wacky stuff into labs, dude. Have us splitting atoms, bending space-time and tearing it in half. Wouldn’t be that hard for Grade 11s to do. In all seriousness, the lab taught me nothing that the notes package didn’t do already, which made it all the more disheartening when I found out that I now have to reflect on it. Reflect on what? I don’t want to be rude, but you served me a nothing burger – which I already get from the cafeteria.

Critical Thinking Reflection

I demonstrated critical thinking when I saw the results of the experiments and noted them down. I also approached you when the results from real life didn’t match up with the theoretical. Were you expecting something grandiose; so big it could tear the rivets off the metaphorical ceiling? I can’t. My reflection is a joint, uhm, reflection of my volition and the quality of the assignment at hand. Guess which one is lower.



It’s both.

While making the legs for my footstool, I had cut the B parts 1/4 inch too wide and had already glued them together – so i had to find a way to shorten the width cleanly and without ruining the legs. So i went to the table saw and cut them to width. I will now be a tad more careful before gluing pieces together.

Spanish 10 Core Competency Reflection

I demonstrated the core competency of thinking by using evidence to make judgements on what I should or should not do on my project. I have actively chosen to fire my neurons and make the executive decision to label my family tree’s personal titles in Spanish because I am in a Spanish class and it would be stupid not to make everything in Spanish. I normally hate thinking and love to live my life in autopilot mode, but I made an exception for this class and this class only. I hate my life and this class.
