Week 8 – CST – 300 Module 8

OLI – Post-Test

This week we had to take the post-test which was a culmination of what we have learned throughout the course. It started off with opinion questions where you had to choose whether you agreed or disagreed with the statement. I compared my answers to the pre-test answers and, although they are not graded, I believe my answers improved. From the OLI modules, I learned that you must consider everyone’s opinions and to use conflict resolution techniques when there is difference of opinions. When someone is expressing their opinion, you must use active listening and let them know you understood by repeating to them what they told you in your own words. For dealing with conflicts, you must use active listening and then formulate an assertion message to deal with the conflict.

 Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal

The lecture portion of this class did a great job preparing a student for group dynamics. We met with our groups on a weekly basis and worked on projects or assignments for the week. This requirement forces the students to create a routine of managing a schedule. It also allows teams to build coordination skills because not every person in the team will have the same time slots available.

The writing lab portion of the class helped me improve my writing. Writing two essays, both within only two weeks and along with multiple assignments, was challenging but also rewarding when completed. The multiple discussion assignments also gave me plenty of practice commenting on someone else’s work or opinion. It also taught me to double and triple check my writing before submitting or posting it.

During our video group project, we communicated through Discord. Everyone collaborated by taking on a subtopic and creating slides with audio files. The information on the slides had to be relevant to the topic and the sound files needed to add up to around two minutes total. This provided us with a complete video of 8-10 minutes.

Next time, since our project completion was really close to the due date, I would suggest having a rough draft of the project at least a week before. This will allow us to have something near completion with enough time to add or make changes.

These are the links to our research video projects.

Week 4 – CST – 300 Module 4 OLI – Module 4 and 5 This week’s OLI required us to meet with our team and discuss what we have learned from this unit. It was interesting to compare what I have learned to what the rest of my team learned from their experience with the unit. The assignment included an activity called “2 Truths, 1 Lie” which required each team member to share three strengths related to our group project. Of the three strengths, two were supposed to be truths and one a lie without disclosing which were truths and which was the lie. The rest of the team had to guess which of the three was the lie. For the most part, we were all able to pick out the lie from the strengths. That activity showed me that we are becoming familiar with our team members’ strengths which will help in assigning tasks during challenging projects. The last part of the assignment consisted of answering questions from what each of us shared. Everyone of our members agreed that it is a good idea to allo...

  Week 5 – CST – 300 Module 5 OLI – Module 6 and 7 The OLI for this week was interesting. It helped us recognize conflict and showed us how to deal with them using different conflict strategies. Module 6 showed us a video where Kurt and Freda had a conversation which quickly escalated into a conflict. Freda was questioning the level of a platform that had been checked already. Kurt told Freda that he didn’t trust her leveling phone app. After arguing for some time, Kurt noticed that the platform was not level because there was a piece of wood underneath it. I first noticed the conflict when Kurt told Freda that he did not trust her leveling app around the 15 second mark of the video. Module 7 was challenging, here we had to use the best conflict strategy to deal with conflict based on how important the relationship is and how much do we care about the problem. An example was in the scenario where you asked Taylor, a friend of a friend for a ride to get wood because your car...
