Qns: What are the evidences I have to support one of the items I rated the LOWEST and one that I rated HIGHEST in my self-evaluation for today’s participation?
Ans:
I rated my 'making reference to something I read to
support or refute an idea' the highest. This is because,
I was able to come out with a solution that is relevant
to the topic. I came back slightly later thus I have eat
and do work at the same time. Therefore having no idea
how much they have done, I decided to asked them and
seek ways to help them as much as I can. But to my
surprise, they were still stuck at the same problem
before I leave.
Thus, I tried my best to understand the problem
statement and explain to my team mates as much as I can
and as what I know. After all the explanation, my team
members still don't quite know what is the answer to it.
I helped them with the solution that I think might me
right, which is to come up with Plan IV. This is because
I felt that to help them I have to give them some idea
on how to solve the problem statement. By using
“Graphmatica” program, I was able to give them some
idea, and then which spark off the idea on how to get
the overall answer. Even though they were still confused
at some point, but they were glad that at least it makes
some sense rather than some weird numbers that doesn’t
makes any sense.
I rated, “Saying what I wanted to say clearly” because I
felt that I wasn’t able to get my point across as easily
as I thought. It took much longer than expected to allow
my team members to understand what was going on and
explaining the pointers and solutions to my team mates.
I wasn’t able to speak their ‘language’ which means I
tend to used my own terms to answer their questions and
when I am giving them my ideas.
I hope that I will work on learning to speak in a terms
that they will understand and thus allowing them to
grasp the idea quicker than today. Today’s performance
was slightly not up to standard as compared to last week
since we were spending more time struggling on the
problem statement. If problem statement could have more
improvement. Let’s say about the audience, I felt that
if audience are more narrowed down, I think my team
would have done much better in term of presentation and
completing our powerpoint slide on time.
I was at the same time was at the verge of giving up,
even though to most, I am someone who won’t give up that
easily. This is something that I think it hinders me
from giving my full potential. I know I cannot that too
much stress, like in today’s case, I felt that I almost
wanted to cry. In this world there is nothing called
perfect, therefore even though we wish for perfection,
there is none. I hope to encourage myself with this.
