Physical Geography Core Competency Self-Assessment

For physical geography, my group and I created a PowerPoint presentation about the impact of natural disasters in third-world countries. To gather information, we researched and scoured the internet for credible sources on the topic. We collaborated with our team members to organize and present the information in an easy-to-understand format, while also considering different perspectives and ideas. Effective communication was key throughout the process as we kept our team and experts informed of our progress and addressed any concerns or feedback they had. Our final presentation highlighted the importance of understanding the unique challenges and complexities of natural disasters in these countries, and we effectively communicated key points and takeaways to our audience.

For this project I was proficient in communicating but there’s some stuff I have to work on. To better communicate with my group is to actively listen to what others have to say. This means paying attention to what they are saying, asking questions to clarify any confusion, and showing that you understand their perspective. Another way is to be clear and concise when expressing your own ideas. Try to be respectful and considerate of others’ opinions, even if they differ from your own. Finally, try to be open to feedback and willing to make changes if necessary to improve group communication.
