I have recently done a presentation on connecting media and psychological disorders, I believe that communication and thinking competency have been demonstrated. Through the presentation, I have increased my collaborating and communicating skills, I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. My audience and I shared our presentations with each other and tried to give out comments on others’ presentations. I think it is a pretty good way to do small-group presentations because we feel less pressure and are willing to share more ideas. In this presentation, I ask and respond to questions to learn to become an active, supportive listener. 

Also, while I am working on my presentation, I have increased my creative thinking. I can form new ideas to create new things and try to make the connection between art pieces and psychological disorders. I am glad that I have a chance to share about this artist’s art. It is a meaningful project, that gives me a chance to do more research about the connection between media and psychological disorders. 

My group mates and I have recently done the monopoly assignment, I have improved my social and communication competency. I have increased my social awareness and responsibility, through the monopoly assignment have learned many kinds of social physiology effects, bias. I can identify how my action affect the community or environment and I can make positive change. I have learned 7 types of social psychology and knew that our behaviour are deeply linked with the social. In the future, I hope that I can be a respectful person and decrease someone’s social influence. 

On the other hand, We work as a group and achieve the same goal. I am glad that we got full marks in this assignment. It is a fun project, my groupmates and I have got a chance to do more research about social psychology. 

After finishing the research assignment, I improved my communication and thinking competency. I work with others to achieve a goal. My groupmates and I have to do a research assignment about more sleeping hours affect high school students’ GPAs positively. During the process my teammates and I need to have a close discussion to get the same opinion, we respect and listen to each other’s opinions. We worked together at the weekend, and we all put our efforts into the project. Even though we do not text each other, we left messages in the word document and everyone takes turns doing it at different times. This makes me feel like we are really a team and we are working together to achieve the same goal.

For thinking competence, I can analyze evidence to make judgments. During the research assignment, we received lots of answers from different students in different grades for our survey. In order to get the result of our research, we need to analyze those data and put them in different groups. The evidence I have got helps me to make up a conclusion that sleeping hours do not affect high school students’ GPAs positively.
