Skills

GEOB 270: Reflection

This course gave me the confidence to investigate, analyze and question how data is visually presented to me and gave me the opportunity where I could gain those skills myself. I learned how advocacy can be shown, rather than told and how feedback is cyclical and crucial for development. Without this course, I don't think I ever would have sought out the skills that I've learned within it. This course has left me with more questions than when I started, but I know I can answer them myself now.
