Great Essays
Overall Reflection Finally, it is time to take a breath and think big picture. Completing the capstone project was exciting yet very challenging.

    Using the 5 dynamics tool, I discovered several working style characteristics about myself that I really had not previously thought about. The application of this new knowledge will improve the way that I work with other people in my education, my career and in my personal life. For example, I learned that if I partner with others whose strength and weakness are different from mine, working together as a whole we will obtain better results than we will if we work separately.
