Core Competency Reflection

Working Collaboratively With Others

During this semester, I showed collaboration by working efficiently with my group, this included figuring out the group work questions together, assigning each other roles and turns in solving the questions, and finally, making sure that our group fully understood the topic, so that we could all have an opinion or share on the answer. I also showed collaboration when I shared my laptop with my classmate in order for us to get the Desmos assignment done, and work out how we could change the equations so that we could receive the most points possible.

Managing Time Effectively

During this semester, I had to find ways to manage my time effectively as I was getting lots of pressure with my upcoming tests and assignments in the class and I didn’t have much time to study. Therefore, I decided to manage my time efficiently and try my hardest not to get distracted when I was doing my work so that I can make sure that I always stayed focused and on task, and so I can be able to finish and understand as fast and as efficiently as I can.

Strategically Preparing For Assessments

When preparing for the assessments, I needed to make sure that I fully understood the topics I was studying and that I was able to answer any given question easily. Therefore, I needed to be strategic, and to be so, I made sure that I always reviewed all of the units required for the test, and by going back to the group work questions, and testing myself by solving the questions. Another strategy that I used was watching videos on the topic or unit we had the test on, I did this as a finale just to confirm all my learning and it was also my technique for reviewing everything I had studied.

Advice for Future Students

Consistently review the lessons and units every time you finish one, even if your test isn’t anytime soon. This strategy will help keep the information you learned and will help you with confirming your learning so that you won’t forget the lessons anymore.
