Core Competency Reflection Chem 11
CommunicationCC
During this Lab, my partner and I discussed each step before hand so we wouldn’t make and possible student errors, and complete the lab in a short amount of time. Our results from our lab shows reflects that our planning had been successful and had created a lab where only Systematic errors where present. My partner and I had not only discussed our plan, but ran it through a practice lab to double check our work. We each had our own responibilities sense we each had to do our own lab checks. next time, I would improve on our lack of staying focus the entire lab.
Core Competency Self Assessment
Collaborating
I think that us as a group had great communication with each other. We all got our parts in during separate times because we all couldn’t film at once. This demonstrated great communication by us setting time periods in which we needed to send in our parts to put together the video, and edit it on time for presenting it.
When we first started our thought process with creating an info mertial, we all had separate ideas and visons for the video. After lots of discussion and thinking how we could create the best video possible we all decided. It took some serious brain power to finish the actual filming portion because we were all goofing around. Overall the thinking put into this project wasn’t really in individual effort. We all came up with great ideas, and worked well together.
we made our decisions based on our personal values, and which roll we wanted to play within this skit. One of us volunteered to create our model, so the others had to step up with the filming portion to equalize the work amount. The actual clips that went into the video were discussed over, and chosen based on a group discussion. what i would do next time is prepare a skit where we can all be in one location, and discuss information a little less repetitive.
Science Core Competency Self-Assessment
Collaborating
I used the collaboration core competency for my acids and bases lab. Communicating each step and by evenly splitting the amount of work toll, we were able to clean up faster and get more mixtures in a shorter amount of time. We shared ideas for problem solving organization so we have to do less clean up every time we finished a set of mextures. The strategy we used was a prediction method where we would not have to read each step along the way, but instead repeat each step for different acids and bases. We would predict what colour the mixtures would make each time and we were 99% right. i could maybe try and keep our work space a bit more tidy fr next lab.
Choose Your Own Adventure Story: The Crash
- Describe what your project is about and how to use it. What program did you use to create your design?
My group and I created an adventure and action filled interactive story, using twine. Our story is about this kid, whose plane has crashed. You can then choose is you want to have an adventure in an African plane, or a jungle filled with creepy crawlies.
How did you communicate with one another? How did you listen to one another’s ideas and provide one another feedback?
Our group was able to make important decisions about our story timeline, and if one of us did not agree, we would take their option into consideration.
- What were your responsibilities in the group and how did you make sure each member contributed to the design?
I was the one mostly creating the story line, but we would give individual jobs like: eric would do sounds, Jayden would do pictures, and Mathew would type it.
- How well did you work as a group? Did you use time efficiently together?
We all have good friendships with one another, which made our work process more enjoyable. We also, finished the project using 3 class times which is pretty good.
- How were decisions made? Did you face any problems—if yes, how did you solve them?
Once again, we all would bring up topics, or ideas to evolve our story. Even if we all had different ideas, we would narrow it down to one, or try and combined a few.
- Were you satisfied with the final product? How could you improve on this process for next time?
I am somewhat satisfied with the final product but, sense Eric missed 1 workday, it was kind of hard to give him a job which would equalize his portion of the project. I think we could of assign jobs before even starting the project which would have made Eric’s part clearer.
