Reflection
During the second design step, I have further sharpened my compromise and collaboration skills. Through the design and proposal processes, I had to compromise and collaborate with my group almost every day. I learned how to take a step back and not force my viewpoints upon other people. I now have the ability to have a successful and well-rounded conversation nearly every time. One example of how I used these skills was during the designprocess. I was very fond of the teddy bear design for our project, while another groupmate wanted to use the robot design. Although I still loved my idea, I was able to let go of my ego and entertain my groupmate's idea. That idea eventually evolved into the product we are currently working on!
There are a few things that I could work on, however. One thing is that I need to be able to communicate more effectively over online video services. Although my group has been moving forward, it can be a bit tedious trying to explain something when we are not in the same room. Another thing that I need to work on is my focus. When learning from my room, I can get distracted. Even though I have improved on this whilst learning remotely, I still feel like I could improve my work ethic even more.
