For my reflection I chose communication core competency. Having never come into an economics class before grade 12, I quickly learned the value that effective communication has within Economics 12. This class has shown me how to communicate my ideas through the coursework and tests that we have been assigned. For example, the quizes that we do in Economics 12 require through explanations of our point of view. Often times, there are no right or wrong answers, and we must rely on our communication skills to get our point across and explain our reasonings. Additionally, my communication skills have bettered as a result of the economics term map that we were tasked to create. I had to connect and explain how over 30 economics terms are all related, as well as generate examples for each term. This project really solidified my ability to communicate my ideas. I will use the communication skills I learned in economics 12 across many other boards in my education, and work life.
