In labs and the final project, I used all of the core competencies to a certain degree. However, I believe the one I used the most is communication. Since the labs and the final project both require group work, communication is essential to be successful. Without communication for these projects, we would h=not have been able to work together in completing them. More often times than not, we use online platforms to reach out to one another to share the lab data for our labs and discuss who takes on what role in the labs. The final project required us to use a lot of our time outside of class and this required the communication of our time table to see when we are available to either get on call to discuss and work on the project. This is why I think communication was the most essential and best core competency I demonstrated in my example of labs and the final project.
