“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulder of giants”, the quote by Isaac Newton resonates my journey to realising the understated power of collaborative learning. Two experiences that were a highlight of my undergraduate degree were my involvement with Mosaic Fusion Forums, an outreach program that celebrates diversity, and Business-One UNSW, a student-run consulting and professional services group. Both these experiences allowed me to see how people with a diverse range of backgrounds and strengths came together to develop solutions ranging from activity plans for high-school students to developing a business case for a student-run architectural firm to win a social housing design contract. The common themes from these experiences …show more content…
My student exchange at the University of Wisconsin-Madison provided me with an opportunity to familiarise myself with Chicago during the weekends and also, visit the University of Chicago campus while exploring the Hyde Park neighbourhood.

The combination of academic coursework and peer-to-peer learning can help me introspect my attempted business ventures which included a food ordering and delivery chat-bot and an online fast fashion boutique. Being an entrepreneur is just not limited to running my own venture, but the experience would give me the courage to take risks and better prepare me for a leadership role. I think the Booth classroom teach me to storyboard new ideas and evaluate them from different business perspectives. Having found a passion for infrastructure development, I believe that by having an entrepreneurial streak that is backed by a solid academic pedigree, can help me think about new ideas such as incorporating real-time analytics in construction sites, better transport planning and innovative infrastructure financing

    Case Study: Xavier University Smooth Transition

    I have been a Xavier University Smooth Transition (ST) mentor for 3 years since the years of 2014-2016. Smooth Transition is a first-year student summer pre-orientation and year-long peer mentoring program that seeks to support underrepresented domestic and help them transition smoothly to college. Most smooth Transition students are often African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans. Being a smooth transition requires selflessness as the program unpaid and requires one to dedicate their time to helping another student, as most of the time, the smooth mentors can be the only one that the student can depend on. As a mentor, I have guided first-year students to make good decisions in their college years to succeed in the…

    University Of Chicago Speech

    I’ve lived in a suburb area of Chandler since I was born, and my schools have all been within 5 minutes of me. It takes about 25 minutes to get to downtown, and even then, there’s not much for me to do as even a high schooler. University of Chicago, to me, represents the birth of a new experience for me. The city atmosphere, as advertised extensively in the promotional material, is entirely diverse and different for me, and I’d love to envelop myself in the smells, textures and images of Chicago. Also important for me is the diversity of culture; from the tiny “The Life of the Mind” book that I got in the mail, I saw all the majors, all the houses, all the clubs, and since then they’ve been swirling around in my head.…

    Associated Student Body Classroom: Community Analysis

    My participation in the Associated Student Body Class, my involvement in my community service organization and my ex-president role in the Architecture club has enabled me to create my interpretation and understanding of diversity. Through my various leadership engagements, I have interacted with peers from different backgrounds and obtained the opportunity to learn new traditions and cultures as well as share my culture to people. I have become aware that a diverse environment is important for the entrance of distinct ideas and skills. I define diversity as the composite gathering of multiple unique and different backgrounds that expands a person accustom view and motivates the person to learn unfamiliar differences. My participation in these…

    Outside Learning Environment

    The activity to be conducted is to be completed in an outside environment. In this instance, it will be completed in the student’s backyard or at the local park, where there is a flat concrete surface to bounce the balls. If this activity was undertaken in a school setting, it would be completed at the school’s basketball courts or the flattest surface available at the time. The learning environment therefore would be outside. As Arthur et al (2015) argues outside learning settings are “spaces where children can reconnect to the natural environment” (p. 365).…

    Collective Learning

    Because of collective learning, students are gaining the confidence to express their thoughts to others.

    Reflective Essay: The Power Of Collaboration In School

    The Power of Collaboration “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is process, but working together is success” (Henry Ford, Brainy Quotes). Throughout the first couple weeks of college, I expected to figure out everything out on my own without help from anyone else. However as it may be the case in some circumstances, I can surely tell you that classes like English 100Y definitely does not hinder the concept of teamwork or collaboration. Throughout the semester we have been exposed to a variety of group based activities and challenges. These collaborative assignments help benefit the students with the capability to attack challenges in the future whether it be in another class or life itself.…
