After reading the articles for this week, I can definitely consider myself a self-starter. I have already begun working on my final internship report, using the sample paper as an outline, and I have written up to 10 pages. That would be halfway for a traditional 20-page research paper, not including the references. I found out yesterday that I (finally) passed my ePortfolio, so now I can focus entirely on my internship for the rest of the semester (yay!) As of right now, I've completed the first two SLOs, which are becoming familiar with Second Life and its immersive 287 course, and developing the small virtual collection that is going to remain in Second Life. Although I think SLO 2 and SLO 3 are works in progress, of course. SLO 3 involves writing a term paper and creating a slideshow that is supposed to inspire future virtual interns in other 287 courses.
As for being a team player, I am no stranger to that, either. I was assigned my group members for LIBR 202, and I felt it was easier for them to be assigned rather than me asking people to be in a group myself. (I never brought out my best self in social situations). Then again in LIBR 204, I was assigned a group for the strategic plan, and both times, I was lucky to have gotten those people, since there were hardly any problems. I have been in groups in the past where I was the one who hardly did any work or I got caught up with at least one person who didn't get along with anyone. I believe people change as they get older, or at least most people. Sadly, some of the "bullies" in this world have remained bullies their entire lives and have had no chance of changing.
