Mayuresan's November Week 4 Reflection
What have you observed in others (e.g., team members, supervisors) that inspired you or taught you something new? How will you apply it in your daily life?
I was able to observe the work ethics of my team members and supervisors, which has inspired me to also reevaluate how I approach my own tasks and assignments. Although it may seem daunting to complete a lengthy task, as I’ve seen, it’s best to take things one step at a time and focus on accomplishing small goals so you don’t overwork yourself.
If we did not have Mojo as our mascot, what character (fictional or realistic) would be a good fit to be our U+ mascot? Why?
If we did not have Mojo as our mascot, a character I believe would be a good fit to be our U+ mascot would be the owl. The owl represents wisdom, patience, connection, and knowledge. U+ values such skills in creating quality educational experiences for students, especially connection and knowledge.
What is a surprising or unexpected thing you have learned about yourself during your placement so far? What will you do with this knowledge?
An unexpected thing I have learned about myself during my placement so far is that I am more of a visual learner than I had previously thought. During the presentations I have watched, I found myself being able to follow the speaker through visual aids better, instead of lengthy paragraphs. I felt more engaged with the presentation as well. With this knowledge in mind, I hope to use more visuals in my own presentations.
If your current co-op position was not available during applications but you had to commit to U+, what role would you have selected? How do you think that experience would contribute to your personal and professional growth?
If my current co-op position was not available during applications but I had to commit to U+, a role I would have selected would be in the Marketing department. I have experience working with Canva and editing videos and photos, so I think that experience would have contributed to my personal and professional growth by allowing me to gain a better understanding of how company branding and professional marketing nurtures the growth of the company.
