Reflect
Wrap Up Reflection
Now that you have competed in the Tug of War competition, it is time to reflect on everything you have learned by completing a self-reflection. Start a new page in your engineering notebook to begin your reflection.
Rate yourself as a novice, apprentice, or expert on each of the following concepts in your engineering notebook. Provide a brief explanation for why you gave yourself that rating for each concept:
- How going through the engineering design process affects your overall game strategy
- Communicating effectively with your team to improve your performance in the competition
- How iteration improves your performance in the competition
Use this table to help you determine which category you fall under.
Expert | I feel that I fully understood the concept and could teach this to someone else. |
Apprentice | I feel that I understood the concept enough to play the competition. |
Novice | I feel that I did not understand the concept and do not know how to complete the competition. |
