Celebration 1: My first celebration is taking complex ideas and making them understandable. In the field of education and awareness, this is very important people won't care about something that they don't understand. An example of my proficiency in this is my pika infographic in this piece of work I had to simplify the complex predator and prey cycles and how extra pika dying would affect predators into a couple of images and a sentence. I had never had to do something like this before, so this was an improvement from almost nothing.
Celebration 2: Next I would like to celebrate refinement. Refinement is key to making your work as close to perfect as possible. The first time you create something it will always have flaws, but if you refine it then you will have a better product than before. During a project in Dan’s class, we created a bench the bench wouldn’t wiggle forward and backward but would side to side. So we refined it and added supports on the legs so they wouldn’t wiggle.
Celebration 3: Group work. People can do amazing things on their own, but together people can do even more. Groupwork is a part of daily life and most jobs are done in a group, if you can't work with others then it will be hard to be successful. In a mini project, I collaborated with some of my peers to analyze the geometry of a bike frame. During this project, we were all interested and worked together to create a spreadsheet calculating how much the wheel would move if you applied a force. In this group, I made sure to include everyone and because of that they suggested much better ways to do things and pointed out where people were wrong.
#1 I need to get better at preparation. Preparation is needed for everything and if you wait then you may not be able to get what you need. When starting my humanities article, I assumed that we would have interview time and because I didn't call ahead when I needed to do the interviews, it took people weeks to get back to me. by then the project was over.
#2 Group work can go well, and it can go wrong in the ecology project I tried to take a leader role and split the work so that we could work more efficiently, but that didn't work. Instead of working like a group we just wrote separate parts of the paper. When we tried to combine them all near the end we discovered that our sections overlapped a lot.
Q: how can I acquire skills/knowledge outside of school.
