First-Week Introduction
My goal is to improve in my collaboration with others and my work ethics in and out of the classrooms. I am going to put myself more into my work and improve my organization skills, so I do not feel as disoriented towards my assignments. I also want to not be afraid to ask questions so I understand the work more so I can improve the work I created.
Midterm Introduction
We learned a lot about the data collection process. I enjoyed learning more Indepth of the statistics needed for data collection. I struggled with patient it takes to make the necessary process of creating the perfect survey. I have most excelled at making suggestions in my group to move it forwarded. I need to approve more in my oral communication. I will work more with notecards on my oral communication and making notes.
Final Introduction
I meet my goals of increasing my tolerance and ability to collaborate. I also improve my organization and work style to try not to be too overwhelmed by class and the workload. I did this by taking it a step at a time and not always looking towards the future. I asked way more questions and this caused me to not be as confused as I previously was. I was surprised that sometimes working in a group you need to stop and take a break. I was surprised by the way the sitting back can improve the process of the group and your mentality. I will remember that I cannot do everything for myself, and it is okay to ask for help.
