BA-352-LINKUN

As the class is getting towards to our first proposal, I feel like my leadership experiences have improved. At the third week, I was able to learn how to find and describe problems in a more specific ways. At the group meeting where we were trying to find a specific need for LCB students, everybody in the group was encouraged to share their opinions. And each of us was being very critical to the problems that were being discussed. This is the first time I found the usefulness to complete a project within a group, after three and half year in college. I was able to listening closely of what others’ opinions and give them feedback in a proper manner.

In addition, I also learned the interview skills and found useful out of it as well. After each of us being assigned to interview at least five people to discover a student need from outside of our group, I start to critically asking myself what kind of questions will be appropriate and efficient to help me conducting this interview. It was very surprisingly to learn that my interview skill was terrible at first couple times. I thought there would be no difference than I’m just talking to a friend. But it was not that easy, especially when wording the questions incorrectly and people who were being asked were so confusing. Meanwhile, I couldn’t give the interviewees too many of my personal opinions because that will distract their thinking. Now I have collected enough data on hand. Over the weekend, I need to critically extract and comprehend the students’ opinions on the issue and trying to connect them into a pattern and ready to share with my teammate when we meet.
