BA

Week 5 presented opportunities for growth, such as working on my presentation skills, successfully implementing a contingincy plan, and accepting feedback on my weaknesses and strengths on groupwork. Presenting our project to the class allowed me to practice how well I communicate to others and think on the spot. Questions were thrown at me that ive never considered but was able to think of an answer on the spot. In the past ive forgotten my thoughts while presenting due to my nervousness. However, knowing I had my group with me presenting allowed me compose myself and deliver my message through an effective way.  I was also able to implement a contingincy plan by agreeing to present a night before the presentation due to our teammate feeling ill. This was really easy to carry out and everyone did not have a difficult time adjusting. Finally, I realized I tend to over power my opinions and ideas without constantly checking in with my teammates. I believe this should be easy to work on by practicing to make sure all my teammates agree with my ideas as they are being built as opposed to checking in once they have been built.

Through the first half of the term I believe ive been an overall good groupmate. Ive been able to represent our group during our presentation, create a new pathway after realizing our original idea was not well defined, and I always make sure to participate in all activities. As I feel ive been a good thinker and facilitator to our group, I believe the second half of the term will allow me to work on my weakness of encouraging my teammates to participate more in times of brainstorming.
