Week 8 and 9 - WINTER BREAK!! and Scripts

-


HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

So after spending an amazing time with family and just enjoying the holidays with them, we knew we also had to get work done. Over the break, we worked on making our scripts, making the slideshow, and practicing our presentation. For the scripts, we each split up parts evenly and got an outline of what our line was supposed to be about. This was much harder than you think because we had to squeeze all the work that was done over a span of 2 months into a 12-minute presentation. The hard part of this was going in depth of what we did but also keeping it short. And everytime we practiced, we kept going over the 12-minute mark. Speaking of practice, this was definitely one of the most amazing experiences as a group. Since it was too cold outside, and no one really wanted to leave their house, most of the practicing was done over facebook messenger, video chatting. The funny part of this was that even though we were really trying to practice, most of the time we ended up just joking around, and kind of just hanging out. But don't worry, we still learned our lines in the end. For our Slideshow, there is not much to say except for that it was made by our wonderful project manager, Sage. Everything in the slideshow was in the order of what our lines were and also had a lot of pictures of the work that was produced over the last two months. Anyways, that is all. We hope you enjoyed the holidays and the time was well spent with your family and friends. See you next week, and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Week 10 - Practice, Revise, Repeat And Nogha

-

In week 10, most of the time was spent on practicing, revising and practicing again for our final presentations. We also had Nogha, from the Rotman program at the University Of Toronto come by to give us some pointers on how we can improve our presentation so that when we present for good, it goes without a hitch, and is just flawless.  For our presentation, we did a lot of revising because it was not up to the standard of what we wanted. When we looked at some of the other presentations that the other groups made, ours looked very messy and unprofessional. Nogha and Mr. Essabhai both said that the slideshow is an information overload and that it needs to be redone. They also said something similar to our script. The problem for our script was that we kept going on and on and the presentation just ran too long. The reason for why this had to be fixed was because the presentation needed to be under 12 minutes. In the end, everything was revised and looked absolutely...

In the first week, everyone in the group has been assigned their roles. Sage has taken on the role as project manager, Kamila is the vice project manager, Kyle is looking after the website and online work, Shabaz is the “assistant” that helps in areas where it is needed and Calvin is helping document the progress of the group. We have also assigned the work that the individuals of the group have to complete Wednesday. Kyle and Shabaz are working on the causal model about “how to make someone follow rules”, Sage and Calvin are working on the causal model of “how to make someone understand the actions of their behaviors”, and Kamila is working on the system map.

Rhiya's Visit to John Polanyi

Today we had an in-class visit from Rhiya whose goal was to provide us with feedback.  As a group, we briefly went over our journey from initially being put into a group and given our culminating task, to where we currently are with ut propro chart. Rhiya gave us great feedback specifically challenging the way we define our public model. A public model takes shape in many different forms when it comes to parks. Baycrest Park falls under a public model where visitors are free to roam with little to no restrictions. However, Tommy Thompson Park is also a public model with many restrictions placed on visitors. There was a disconnect between what we felt like a public model was versus what others felt a public model was. We quickly realized that for our benefits to make sense we need to verbally describe what a public model means to us. Another big thing Rhiya touched on was our habit of assuming other people's actions and feelings. We did this a couple of times with our benef...
