Precalculus 12 Critical Thinking & Collaboration Self-Assessment

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to ask for their reasoning on why they disagree/agree on a topic. This is helpful to get their perspective and provide any counter-arguments or realize my mistake and learn upon it. I use evidence to make judgments or decisions as demonstrated in this by the fact that I’m using different formulas and writing out my steps in order to attempt to create logical and mathematically correct statement. I show others that I truly value their contributions by asking them how they got their result and try to absorb that information to try and use it to help me make a solid conclusion. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to consistently ask questions and provide them with some ideas that I’ve come up with that leads us to the complete the given assignment without being off-task. We we’re struggling on proving the product law but I did learn a lot from this as I definitely could’ve asked more questions and engage with other groups to try and pile up all their ideas and prove the product law.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Communication

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I actively communicate with them to work efficiently and so we’re able to fluidly work together without many problems or issues. I show that I value feedback from others in my group by always asking their opinions and thoughts on our assignments or labs so I’m able to get a different view on the topic and use that in my answers to get a more thorough and insightful response. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to talk with them before beginning the assignment or lab so we can work efficiently and rely on each other to work on what we we’re given.
