Hi!

This post is an introduction and will include answers to the Learning Pod Self Reflection questions.

What is your preferred mode of remote communication?

I prefer a mode where we can communicate quickly and efficiently, thus texting or creating a group on discord or fb messenger has worked in the past.

What are your communication strengths?

I would say I am always open to discussion and like to make sure every individual feels heard and included. I often end up with the role of creating a group, outlining the steps of the project, evenly assigning work, and checking if there are any issues.

What are your communication weaknesses? Where would you like to grow?

I would like to work on my communication skills when it comes to disagreements as this is an area we often find ourselves in as students in group projects.

Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?

An extroverted-introvert. I tend to be more extroverted around other introverts and more introverted when I need to recharge after matching the energy of extroverts.

What time zone are you in?

Pacific (PST)

What time of day do you prefer doing academic work?

Usually after 1pm until the evening

When you are upset do you tend to share this with others or keep it to yourself?

Keep it to myself. I believe it is best to think over what has made you upset instead of immediately acting on it. If it bothers me the next day then I will share with others.

What do you like about group work?

I like that we are able to share our different approaches, learn from eachother, and split up work to lighten the load for each other.

What don’t you like about group work?

I do not like having to complete the work of others or trying to communicate with group members who do not respond.

What else would you like your team to know?

I am looking forward to working with you throughout the duration of this course!
