As team leader, I planned meetings, kept the team on track with schedules and internal deadlines. Being a leader also involved keeping the team motivated, and mitigating disagreements. It was also my responsibility to get all team members involved in discussions, decision making, and tasks for the project.

As a team member, just like my teammates I had to complete tasks I was tasked with. One of these tasks was creating the renders seen above, which was achieved using SketchUp. I designed the Bahen courtyard to scale, then added our proposed conceptual design which included an outdoor seating area, a mural featuring Indigenous art, planted trees, and indoor seating area next to the kitchen/food stall. All of these components were thought of by the team, and fulfill some requirement or request from the client. 

These peer evaluations were completed using ITP Metrics one month apart. In each diagram, my own rating is in yellow, while my peers' rating is in blue. In the first evaluation, my peers' rating are higher than those given in the second, and so are my self-ratings. However, my self-ratings were more accurate to my peers' perception of my in the second report.

Overall, in both reports my best quality is capabilities, meaning my peers most believed in my abilities to complete my work diligently, effectively and efficiently. In both reports, the main qualities that my team commented on were my leadership abilities, organizational skills, and good work/ideas. Some quotes from the feedback showcasing these are below. The one area of improvement that came up in both reports is that I should be aware of my peers' different working styles and be more recepetive to others' ideas. 

Positive Feedback Examples:

"You are fantastic to work with, and I really admire how efficient and detail-oriented you are. Your ability to consistently deliver high-quality work is truly impressive and sets a great example for the team."

"You perform a very good leadership. You can always motivate us when assigning new work in each meeting, so that we could mostly finish our work in our internal deadline. You would be a great leader in the future group project if you keep working well."

"Emma, you did the great job in the aspect of leadership."

"You did an excellent job in being reliable in team communication and organizing team meeting and setting internal deadlines that consider the members of the team and the assignment deadline. You leave a positive impact on the team when you are present to communicate and are willing to take more leadership tasks making working as a team easier for the rest of the members."

Constructive Feedback Examples:

"One suggestion for enhancing collaboration even further would be to approach teammates’ ideas with a bit more openness. Exploring different perspectives could lead to even more innovative outcomes and strengthen the dynamic within the group."

"My specific feedback is to be aware about how everyone's learning styles and working manners are different."
