I learn a lot from listening. I started out the year strongly in terms of speaking and shifted more towards listening as time went on. As I see on the tracking charts, when I do speak, there is no certain direction or gender favored. I also do not seem to speak only on the days where everyone is contributing. I speak a lot on some days and fewer times on other days, never too much and never too little. I think that I have developed in my Harkness skill since the beginning. I try to make good eye contact and speak clearly and respect everyone's input. On the time duration chart, I have also spoken for a bit as well as over 15 seconds. There is a well distributed pattern of my speaking throughout the course of the class. Specifically, Kami and I seem to trigger thoughts in one another. I think that I have been speaking enough, but probably listening just a bit more. I can improve by speaking more.. I know that sometimes I have something to say, but I will just think about it instead of contribute it, so that may be an area in which I can improve.
Overall I give myself between a 17/20 and an 18/20. I can refer more to text and share more, although thus far my participation has been good.
