Semester 1 Reflection:
I like to stick to agreed upon due dates for projects but sometimes this comes at the expense of understanding the reasons for why a team member was not able to complete a project on time (Usually seven days are allocated to work on their assigned parts). Through developing this competency I have become more understanding. There was a group meeting where the described scenario happened and instead of hyper focusing on the work and emphasising that they should complete it by the evening, I took time to understand the problems that hindered them from completing the project and worked with them to find a way for them to complete the work on time.
Responding flexibly is also about how you respond to unforeseen problems. While I was working on completing this portfolio for a mid-year exam submissions. My website was accidentally flagged and removed. My first instinct to was to try and fix the problem. But to fix the problem I had t first calm down. To calm down I did one of the exercise I learned in Artifact 2, notice the things you can see, hear, taste, smell and touch. This exercise helped me to stay focused on completing work for the portfolio even if I did not have a portfolio to add my work to. When the problem was rectified I was not behind schedule with the work that I wanted to complete.
