During the class 7A, we had a Cover Letter workshop. It was very helpful for us to know how to write an efficient cover letter. Also, same as the Resume Workshop, we had chance to use an example to write an actual cover letter. But our group was allotted to write the closing section, so it was easy compare to other groups who were writing the person’s selling points.
During the class 7B, we tested our prototype. We invited 2 students from other group and saw their reactions about “rewards” system and got some feedback. Since these 2 students were from the group which is also doing the similar theme (about students’ career readiness), it was meaningful to get opinion from them.
First of all, they gave us opinion about our “stamp card”. We were considering making a stamp book for each student so that they can get stamp when they attend a workshop, cumulative stamps can change with some rewards regarding each points status. However, one from these two students questioned that “should it be a stamp book like this?” She pointed out that most students might lose it. We all agreed with that opinion, and now we changed it to use Student ID card so that we can prevent students from losing it and we can record data only by swiping the card.
When we were discussing about rewards system, since I was ill on that day so that I couldn’t speak out much during the discussion. However, one of my teammate noticed that I didn’t talk, and asked me “what do you think about that?” I was really grateful to him to let me have chance to share my idea, but at the same time, I thought I still have to try to speak out more and more.
Getting their feedback was very helpful for our group, we can make sure if we are doing right, and if it is an efficient way to change students’ behaviors. This Thursday night, reflecting from this feedback, we met in our group and decided how and when to work on our final proposal.
