Collaborative Skills

Collaborating with empathy
How do you demonstrate the social dispositions?
Every time our group makes up an idea, I would be the one that asks most of the questions and how to develop it even further. I would usually be quiet and write down all the ideas because I always have a pen and paper handy with me. When we have some complications I would try my best and solve them because personally, I know most of them really well as close friends so when there is some misunderstanding I would try to put it in the way they understand it. Like I said I personally know most of them really well so sometimes I can tell how they feel about the idea, by their facial expressions and mood.

How do you speak up for your own rights and needs within a group?
If I ever need to speak up, I wouldn't yell at them or scream. I would try to do it peacefully by just asking them nicely if they could maybe listen to this idea I have. If they wouldn't listen, I would tell one person and ask them to pass it on around the group. (It usually works)

How do you show sensitivity to others’ feelings, needs, and cultures?
I think that our group has a good connection with each other because most of us have a lot of things in common and usually we try to be really open with each other so if one of us are offended by anything they would just speak up. When someone is in need of something I would listen to them because it could be really important and might help with our work. If we don't like an idea we would just try and compromise by adding another idea with it or combining it with something else.

How do you give sensitive feedback to others?
My group is pretty honest with each other so if there's something needed to be said we would just tell each other.

How do you react to feedback from others?
First we talk about the feedback and how we can improve. After we want to be positive so we talk about what we did well and what people enjoyed. We learn from the feedback from others instead of rejecting it and criticising their opinions.


How well do you avoid demonstrating the dysfunctional dispositions?
Sometimes we do have some dead weight but when we do we would communicate on our whatsapp group chat or mail each other talking about what we need to do and finish before our next lesson and we usually give each other a lists of things to do. We do get off track at times and talk about random things instead of doing our work but I think that doing that can help us with our bond in a way if we don't overdo it. We would always have one group member that is concentrated in the work so when we get off track that one member would talk to us and keep us back on track.

Collaborating effectively

How do you give meaningful feedback to others?
When giving feedback every group member has to contribute to the discussion so everyone would know the improvement needed to be fixed, what each of us liked about the creation and how we all can solve it.

How do you act upon feedback that you receive from others?
I would be silent and listen to what they have to say. I would rethink the feedback multiple times and try to apply it and use it to develop my work to create a better outcome.

How well do you help your group to make decisions?
I think in making decisions we are pretty indecisive so we always go on a vote or pick the one that suits us the best.

How do you demonstrate task dispositions?
Since I'm always writing down things, I would usually write down any idea that pops up in my head even though it may be unrealistic because we can develop it and change it a bit to make it a stronger and creative idea that's suitable for us.
Listen to feedback and not ignore it even though it may be harsh or even if I don't agree.
Being an editor you have to put everything together and make it flow easily and nicely even if the clips may contract each other, so sometimes you need to compromise and try to crop the clips or try to find a connection between the ideas and clips.

How do you decide when to lead, when to co-lead and when to follow?
When things are going downhill...

How do you decide when to talk and when to listen?
When someone has an idea I would support them and listen to whatever they have to say or what idea they have. I wouldn't shut them down instantly as it may be a good idea. If I treat them the way they wanted to be treated they would do the same.

How can you act as a chair?
I can act as a chair by communicating with my group on Whats-app every day or at least once every 2 days to check up on how much they have finished, what they need help on and if everyone is on the same page.

How can you ensure that your group makes clear and fair decisions?
When we make decisions we would always double check with everyone to see if they agree and if it's a good idea. To make it fair we would try our best to let everyone contribute to the idea and if someone doesn't like it we can either add something or "shape" it to try to make it suitable for everyone.

How well can you ensure that your group achieves its aim?

Same as the chair answer, seeing if everyone is on task and on the same page. When we all work together efficiently our group can achieve the aim much quicker and easier.
