(Day 5) 11th March - Team Reflection

 The group and I arrange to meet outside University hours to catch up and go over what we had so far. As I was working we arrange to meet after work at 5pm. I noticed that I still wasn't engaged/motivated or excited by the module which reflects in my efforts. I am doing the minimum, it shows that if I am confident in others I don't mind someone taking lead and I will step up if I need too. This also made me aware I may be judgemental which develops into lack of trust. Do I judge on the first meet and too quickly? Does my past knowledge of course mates hinder the trust? 

Alongside this, I know in myself my full potential isn't being reflected and my efforts aren't there. Therefore, I need to become motivated and invested into the client brief.

(Day 21) 19th April - Productivity Style in the Team

Image
Today, Hannah sent in a mini quiz on Harvard Business Review (HBR) - What's Your Personal Productivity Style? ( https://hbr.org/2015/01/assessment-whats-your-personal-productivity-style?utm_medium=email&utm_source=tgr_newregistrants&utm_campaign=subscribetohbr_gbb&utm_content=engagment5_suboffer_t4&utm_term=touch4&deliveryName=DM128386# ).  It was an interesting group activity. Tanisha and I both got the planner results.  You are a PLANNER. Planners prefer organized, sequential, and detailed thinking. They create to-do lists, set aside time for tasks, and prepare thorough and accurate project plans. They don’t waste time on anything unproductive or unimportant. They comply with laws, policies, regulations, and quality and safety criteria, and they frequently complete work ahead of deadline. Productivity tools that appeal to Planners include:  project management apps like Tom’s Planner and digital lists like OmniFocus, which let them track work by proje...

(Day 22) 21st April - Interim Presentation and Tutorial

 A week before our client pitch. Today, we had our interim show and tell presentation. A chance to receive feedback from experts on our ideas so far.  The pitches themselves went well. On the whole,  our ideas were well received, we received critical commentary from all experts that we were able to work with the improve the pitch.  When receiving the feedback, I made sure I wasn't defensive and listened to the feedback. Within the world of work it is critical to learn how to take constructive criticism. I love reassurance and positive feedback (like everyone), so when one expert only gave constructive criticism I ensured not to take it personal and use this to better our project. The session as a whole was fairly tiring, as we repeatedly went through our project, but it was great learning experience.  Following the session, we  made the decision to create a new final PowerPoint, worked out the journey  alongside ...

(Day 1) 1st March - Introduction and Action Research

Image
  Alongside the brief introduction , which began the process of consideration for areas of interest for the self-reflection, was the style of research to be used. I immediately noticed when I am unsure or 100% clear on the task/brief given I can become demotivated or annoyed, as such.  However, the starting point for this module was direct which was reassuring. This was to look into action research with on and in practice research. Avison, D,. et al (1999) summarise the key attributes of action research, as it "combines theory and practice (and researchers and practitioners) through change and reflection". In relation to this module and self-reflection log, I identify as both the researcher and practitioner highlighting my own areas for improvement and reflection. Within action research, research informs practice and vice versa, synergistically. This is because this "particular qualitative research method is unique in the way it associates research and practice" (Av...
