1. What was the
biggest challenge in completing your task?
I felt like the biggest challenge in completing my tasks
was when I had started on a task and was unaware that someone else had also
been working on the same task. After spending an hour and a half on it, then I
was told that someone else had already done all the work I had been doing. I
felt like it was a waste of time, and I could have been using that time to
complete something else that needed to be done.
2. What did you
learn from this challenge?
I learned (or maybe relearned) that it is very difficult
to work with a large group of people on one project. Everyone has different
ideas and work ethics, which would make combining efforts on a singular project
to be a difficult task. It is important to listen to everyone’s opinions and
ideas and then decide which plan would be best for the given project.
3. What would
you do differently if involved in the juried student exhibition in the future?
This is an opportunity for self-reflection rather than other-directed
criticism.
If I was involved in the Juried Student Exhibition again, I
would make sure that there was a checklist of everything that needs to be
completed for the exhibition. As students start a task they would write the date
when the task was started and write the date again when the task was finished.
The checklist could be kept in a central location so everyone could find it and
sign off on it after starting and completing each task. This would help from
having two people working on the same task and not knowing that someone else
had already been working on it.
