How To Write A Personal Reflection

They had said they wouldn’t work with me and excluded me from their group discussions. I was also not allowed to meet up with them or interact with them in any way. I treated it as a solo presentation, however on the presentation day, all the members of my group ate up too much time from the given fifteen minute time limit, so I had to rapidly go through my ideas and information. After getting our marks back, I realized that I did really poorly and since it was a group

While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.

During my first quarter of running start, I took intro to sociology and I had a major midterm project. When we were aquatinted with our members I took initiative to make sure we could all communicate and work online to reduce the number of times we needed to meet so that the students who had trouble with transportation could carpool with members of our group who lived near the college. We decided to spend a few minutes after class on discussing the project and whilst doing so I could see that a particular member of our group, Alex would doubt her ability to work on the project. I made sure that she knew that having her in our group was crucial to successes and that I am open to helping her overcome her doubts. We had conversations about struggling

For the group presentation, my group determined that the Loblaw/Joe Fresh crisis was the most interesting of the given topics. This crisis was the 2013 Savar building collapse or Rana Plaza collapse. The collapse of the building was a structural failure that occurred on Wednesday, April 24th, 2013. I believe that my group was able to work fairly well with one another. One major reason why the group was able to be successful was that as soon as the assignment was handed out, my group was able to discuss a possible plan that would be followed out to complete the group project. We decided the best method would be to split up the work equally so that we could finish it early and be able to collaborate on what we would include in the slides for

When I met with Professor Engel, I expressed to him my concern that only one student had shown up to my office hours since the start of this course. I explained to him that I think the students view me as too much of an authoritative figure in the classroom, rather than a Peer Leader. Professor Engel suggested we take five minutes at the end of class to address this. I told the students that office hours can be professional, but also social- that we could talk about the class material, or we could talk about their interests and how they can obtain experience within their fields. One of the students in my class is an Audio Production major; I used her as an example of how I could help them out. In front of the class, I explained how I knew of another Peer Leader, who is also an Audio Production major and I could set up a time so they could meet and discuss any questions or concerns she had. She came up to me after class and thanked me. She expressed to me that she loved Audio Production, but did not know exactly what she wanted to do with it. The student told me she would email me and was looking forward to the

She was confused as to why we did not have our regular meeting prior to class. I was surprised by her inquiry since we all agreed upon a rescheduled meeting. I reminded her of our group’s decision but she believed there was an additional meeting on Thursday as well. She continued to question me as to why we did not attend for our assumed Thursday meeting. Her tone of voice subsequently became angry, as she directed her frustration towards me. I felt that she was blaming me for not only my absence, but also for the remaining members. It seemed unfair that she would only voice her concerns to me and did not question the other members who later arrived in the room. As a result of her actions, I found it difficult to remain calm when speaking to her. When she continued to raise her voice at me, I started to become irritated. I felt that she was treating me in a disrespectful manner. I raised my own voice in retaliation, which turned our conversation into an argument. Our increased volume became loud enough where it gained the attention of students in the class. I found it embarrassing for others to witness an altercation between a group member and myself. As a result, I lowered my voice in hopes to avoid greater attention. This helped end the argument a few seconds before the start of class. As the argument came to an end with this particular group member, I found myself reflecting on the incident. I was astonished with the

At the beginning of the project, my group had difficulty of picking a topic. Since, my group member and I both had different topics that we would like to work on. At the end, we both agreed to work on cyberbullying because the subject is relevant and not often speak of until something happens as result of cyberbullying. We also worked together on all aspects of the project including writing and editing the prospectus, communicating with the school nurse and advisor, and making the poster and the bookmark. As we worked on the project, my struggles and weaknesses showed as well as my strengths. I had difficulty of speaking in front of big group and present the materials. However, my group member helped me to overcome that difficulty by practicing speaking and presenting

This project has been a very enlightening experience on how you have to sometimes let go of the control and let someone else take over. My grade will be based on a group effort instead of my own individual work and that really did leave me feeling uncomfortable especially since we were not allowed to choose who was in my group and who shouldn’t be in my group. I am lucky to say that after really speaking and interacting with my group members, Luna and Lasheika, I felt a lot more secure in my grade for this project. That is not to say we did not have any problems. At first, we had some technical difficulties that resulted in Luna not being able to communicate through group text but she

The second half of the semester for the database was a roller coaster when it came to the summer seals group project. At the first group meeting, I honestly thought that I will not make it through due to the fact that they were so many documents that I was directed accomplish. My biggest job for the project I had to do was the activity model. Every day, I gave my full power to the best activity model for people to understand. There were times where I did not understand what to do with the activity model, so I immediately emailed my entire group and even my professor to make sure that I am on the right track. My team saw me working my heart out of this section that they took some of their extra time off to see

Tiara Soto was very hastened to enter my 8th period class located in the art room along with Sadia Shailah. I’ve Greated them at the door and ask if they were ready to participate. Tiara replie that she does not know if she wants to particacpte with and try to wave me away. I told ive she doesn’t want to particapited in my sewing class, that she has the option of joining one of the other homework rooms. She told me she wasn’t in the mood to do that as well. I back off because there were a new group of girls who were coming into the room, that was extastic about having the chance to sew during 8 perided.

My group consisted of Bailee Wallace,Adrian Watkins, Jermecia Edwards, and myself. My group members kind of fulfilled their duties as a whole, but as individuals not so well. Two certain group members were either slacking on the work, not contributing at all, or having attitudes.Bailee did what she felt was necessary to do to make our group assignments seem and feel worthwhile.I proofread everything and attempted to get the other members to help us out a little bit more.Most of all Bailee and I did most of the work. One of our group members had an attitude during this whole project and we even had an altercation because of this particular problem. The other was sick, but still knew that he or she had responsibilities to take care of. He got his work turned in right on time. The other did not want to deal with me.

When I first find out that there’s a group project, I wanted to work with people that I know are responsible, capable of doing the assignments, respectful, and don’t procrastinate. I did not want to work with negative people at all I’ve learned from past group presentation experience, so I quickly ask Carolyn, Britney and Adina if they want to work together, they agreed and that’s how we formed our group but, we still needed to add one additional person for our group. The second time we meet up in class the other group members had already ask two of our classmates to join our group so Alexia and Wendy came along. I was excited about everyone that’s in our group because, I know that they’re all are capable of getting the assignments and project done on time and they are very respectful. We were assigned by the professor to come up with a group contract, I have never done any group contract before so I was happy with the assignment. We all decide that in order for us to have a positive group experience we would have to follow the contract we’ll of course follow the contract and we came up with things that we all agreed on. We add on the contract that “everyone will keep their feelings in check and keep group members informed of how things are going. No one is expected to give full disclosure of their situation but a general advising that something is going on is expected. Respect each other and don 't be afraid to ask for help. On the second meeting we also came up with a

Both groups had great interaction; it was actually nice to work with classmates. We were able to discuss the assignment and share ideas. Everyone was open and happy to work together. There was a level of anxiety in the beginning of both groups. Members were trying to make sure they understood the assignment. Members in both groups used active listing as we discussed the project. Individuals unconsciously began to flow in other types of communication styles such as gaining eye contact and facial expressions that reflected their feeling on the topic. In-group one Yvonne would summarize the conversations; to ensure we had clear a clear understanding. In-group two Bethany took the lead; she rallied the group and pitched the idea for the presentation.

One thing that happened during this session that I had not really faced as much in previous sessions was how stressed Jen was over the paper. Early on in the session I tried to calm her down a little bit by taking her mind off of it and talking to her, but I realized soon after that what she really needed was to just work on the paper. She even said that she was stressed about this paper. When we were working on the paper, it took a long time for the stress to go away. It eventually did, but for the first 30 minutes it was still a very high stress situation. For example, when we were glossing She would say things like “Ugh I don’t know I don’t know.” This was when I tried to ask her questions about how and why, but sometimes it seemed like it just stressed her out because she didn’t know where I was going with the questions. However, I still felt like it needed to be done because I was not sure in what direction she wanted to take the paper. Really it wasn’t until we figured out the thesis that the stress level dropped. I felt at times that I had no control of how stressed Jen was. I tried to ask about her other classes at one point, but she said it was just this paper stressing her out. I was just hoping that we would get to a point where
