Communication Core Competency

I demonstrated this core competency by communicating with my partner during this lab. I can take on roles and responsibilities, in a group by doing my share. My partner and I communicated before the lab to prepare because we had circumstances that could affect our progress in the lab. During this lab, both my partner and I had to take care of RealCare babies for 3 days which overlapped with our lab. We talked over what we would do under different kinds of situations that could affect our learning due to the babies and came up with a solution by agreeing to have one person focus on the dissection while the other stepped out of the room to take care of the babies if they cried, and explain what each person missed when they came back. We would switch each time the baby cried so we both got to experience the lab. Although we were a little behind at some point, we made up for it by coming into flex and cent times so catch up. In the end we both got to learn and enjoy the lab despite our circumstances.

During the labelling of the fetal pigs body parts, we agreed that on the first day one of us would look for where the parts are and the other would pin the parts. The next day we switched roles. In the past, communication skills was something that I needed to build, and I have been working on it and now I realise how important it is because without communication with my partner, I would have struggled on how to move forward during this lab.

Reflection on my learning in Marketing and promotion 11 Course

Curricular Competency Reflection

I thought about things that I like (Red Bull, SpongeBob, Wendy’s, Basketball) and thought of a way to bring them together, promoting it in a way that I would influence myself to buy the products. We looked for the images on the internet, when it came to photoshop, we decided to use Adobe. I decided to work on this with Mai and Aysha because they both have similar interests as me. It was easy to decide what and how we wanted to promote. Working together went very smoothly. Originally, we had no idea how to use Adobe. We were stuck on figuring how to edit the poster with our limited tools. Then, we looked up YouTube videos and explored the app to learn how it works. We learned how to brainstorm our ideas and make an image look appealing, so that it attracts consumers.

Core Competency Reflection

I know the group is working well together when I see all members taking initiative to solve a problem and speak up to include their ideas. When everyone is involved, you see satisfying and quicker results. That is how my partners and I were during this assignment.

I used to think working together is a distraction, and now I know it’s not because I was very focused and determined during this project. I was very serious and wasted no time. My group was the same. We all included our input and were satisfied with the outcome of our work.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I go outside the class. I usually go for a walk to relax my brain and cool down. It relieves my stress and reminds me that I need to get back to work.
