Answer:
I have been working with my fellow students on a science project for about a month now. It has been very exciting – for the most part, but we have also had a fair share of disagreements amongst ourselves too. The experience has taught me a lot on how to deal with other people around me, to reach a compromise in a way we both feel respected and achieve our goals. I believe this will help me in future to understand other peoples work dynamic, save time by avoiding arguments and make working with others a fun experience all together.
I think the main challenge has been communication. So what qualities about me do I really need to work on? On a scale of 1-7, with 1= Not at all and 7= Maximum Possible, how much of a challenge have they been?
My patience – 6
Being patient with my team has really been difficult. I want to learn to give them ample time and space to finish their share of work and hope they stick to the deadlines.
My aggression -6
I want to be able to pass my ideas across in a manner that accommodates other people’s opinion more. I will try to be assertive when doing so. Not aggressive. I will also try harder to put their ideas into consideration than I have been doing.
My Courage -5
I ruined three experiments because I didn’t have the courage to ask the technician for advice. For all the remaining experiments, I will gather courage to ask for clarification on areas that I don’t understand.
My organization skills -4
I have lost several pages of my work which has set my team back a few steps. I will buy a file after class. I want to be able to file all the remaining pages by evening to avoid a repeat of this.
With these changes I hope we will all have an easier time completing our project.
