The BEST week is the first week of the first year in dcu, It is very an important week to recognize the DCU program, to meet our lecturer and our classmate too. In this reflection I will write about the most important things I have learned and also the things I enjoyed it most in the best week, which is the information and the knowledge I received, the challenges, the teamwork, and the prizes. However, I was very excited and nervous at the same time before I know about the best week,then after attending the whole week it is really helping me a lot to feel more comfortable, relaxed and even more exited!

It was very fun and exited and I learned a lot from it. Our first challenge name was the (marshmallow challenge) the tools were a few sticks of spaghetti, tape, staring and one marshmallow and all that what we had to do was to build and design a tower by using only these tools in 10 minutes! At the beginning I thought it is impossible to build something using a spaghetti sticks and I kept asking myself how can a very thin and weightless sticks stand by its own! However after I and my team starts to plan how to do it trying to make it the highest tower, it actually worked and we were very surprised and happy that we made it. the most important thing that I have learned was that with planning and sharing ideas and trying one, two and three times we can achieve our goals no matter how it is seemed impossible, because who believe that we can do something by spaghetti sticks beside eaten it! Also, I learned from the time limit that we have in the challenge the repartee. Which I think it is a very important skill that we will need in our career. At the end of that day I searched about the marshmallow challenge website that we had already given and I was surprised that it was international challenge and many business students had played it around the world like Mexico, las vegas and many other countries. Another challenge we had is the time management challenge. So the teachers gave us a set of class …show more content…
Actually the teamwork is the most area I would like to improve in myself, because I did not have used to work with a group and I think that I produce better and even faster when I work by my own that might be because of my last experience in teamwork, also maybe because of my shy personality. For example, sometimes I get worried to propose a new idea to someone and he doesn't like it. However to be honest in my BEST week experiences of the teamwork was very good and unexpected. They were all collaborators except one person. After all I believe that I will deal with all the different kinds of personalities in my career, so I must get to use to it. We worked on some activities that could improve our teamwork. For example, we worked in a poster of team contracts which involve the team rules and the consequences if these rules are broken. In our team contracts we wrote the points that we think it is the most important, for instance: the team member must respect each other ideas and opinions. Everyone should improve their own skills. And one of the most important thing that I learned was if each member of the team used his skills the team will get a very good results at the end so I must not get shy to produce my thought and ideas. Another thing effect me in a positive way after working in a teamwork is talking better in presentations. For example, in the management challenge we have been asked to present our product after
That was a beautiful week, I enjoyed reading all of the materials despite my challenge about the electricity issues. I have some concerns because until now due to electricity issues I am unable to participate in the discussion forum. I posted so late in the discussion when the electricity was established I prepared my assignments, I assessed my peers, and I did not find enough time to go in the discussion forum to read and rate my fellow classmates; and I did not grade for my discussion. Then, I will strive to see how I am going to solve this problem quickly.
If you were a Member of Congress (or a senior staff member of one), what additional statutory authorities/legislation would you propose, and why, to enable homeland security officials (at any level of government) to function more effectively?

Week seven, I cannot believe that we only have one more week after this one and then finals. I am getting a little nervous because of the final exam, but happy at the same time; because passing this class is another step closer to reach my goals.

See what I mean, this weekend went by horribly slow. We really need to do something about a Three day weekend. Students would get more sleep. We have more time to prepare for a possible test the coming monday. We´d have more time to do homework that was maybe assigned over the weekend. We would have so much more time to spend with our friends and family. The teachers would get more time to prepare for lessons throughout the week.
One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday

To be an effective leader in team learning I must get into my employees frame of mind and think as they are thinking, this is called empathic listening. A strategy that I will enact to improve my team learning weakness, will be to use smaller, more diverse groups. This

This about how to work with groups and other team members, most of the time it is hard to do but with our jobs nowadays we have to do what we have to do. I like working with others for the most part, especially when they are motivated in getting the job done in a timely manner. Then we have some that just don’t want to help but want everybody else to do their work for them.
