1. Personal contribution to the team
Overall I did a supportive job in my team.

In the beginning of the team project, I wrote down my team members’ MBIT type and asked about their working habit, so we could know each other better and work more efficiently together. I found out that all of us were introverted and preferred to work individually first and combine our thoughts together later.

6. Lessons learned for taking forward regarding small group meetings (team)
Working as a team requires a lot of patience, because every one has his or her point of view. We will not always agree with each other. It really takes time to understand each other. Also, I should try to take more responsibility for the team. My teammates were really considerate. They took most of the tasks that needed plenty of reading, because they knew my English was not very good. However, I should never take it for granted. I should improve my reading skills and try to challenge myself next time by doing more readings.

7. Key messages to be provided on the first day for the next class
For the first day of the next class, key massages should be provided for what A509 is about. Though the schedule was clear about what should be expected everyday, I took three days to find out that the class is actually about teamwork. I thought the class was lecture

We were required to do a 10 minute presentation for a health promotion project that we developed. I decided to work with other individuals who I didn’t know and have not worked with before as I believed I would be more productive and respectful if I worked with people I didn’t know very well.
