Collaboration and Communication Skills

I showed the skill of collaboration in this food’s lab. This was the very first lab we did, and I had to work with very new people. My partner and I divided the roles in this lab. I took on the role of measuring the dry ingredients and mixing it all together. Having equal roles helped us find success in this lab because it went by faster, and we finished on time. I also had the role of dishwasher when cleaning up after the lab. I followed the instructions posted on the cupboards which helped me know what to do and what was expected. Overall, I worked with others to achieve the common goal of baking yummy cookies, getting out of class on time and that’s what we did.

What I can improve on is getting support by other groups when I need help. When my group and I need help we ask the teacher, but we should really ask the groups around us. I shouldn’t be hesitant to ask because it will help my communication skills. In future labs, I will try to keep this in mind to build on this skill further.
