DSF Fall 2023 Learner Log Entry #4

Prompts

Following the Rose/Bud/Thorn model:

The rose/bud/thorn learning model is a simple but powerful tool for reflection and improvement. It encourages people to identify positive aspects (roses), challenges (thorns), and opportunities (buds) in a given situation. This information can then be used to plan for the future and make changes as needed.

Here is how the rose/bud/thorn learning model works:

  • Identify roses. What went well? What did you enjoy? What were you proud of?
  • Identify thorns. What challenges did you face? What could have been done better? What did you learn from your mistakes?
  • Identify buds. What opportunities are there for growth? What are you curious about? What new things would you like to try?

Rose:

The highlight from the previous FOSS session, such as something you found particularly interesting. This could also be something you're excited to implement now.

  • FOSS session 4 was about Documentation and Communication: I found very interestingly the way documentation can help in keeping track of my work and put the basis for writing a paper, since it the follow the 5 rules of clarity, completeness, accuracy, organization, and relevance. I also found extremely important when they talked about the communication. Communication can be something that we take for granted, but actually it can make a difference in the coordination and cooperation of a team. Overall, I think that this lesson gave me lot of materials for organize my research and I am sure that the same materials could be helpful in a possible future work (like in industry).

Bud:

Something that you are looking forward to digging into deeper. This could also include ideas on how to apply concepts to your research in the future.

  • I am looking forward to finish my website for FOSS and I am also looking forward to build my own website about what I am doing. i think that nowadays it can be a very good way to introduce myself to someone else in the professional word.

Thorn:

Something that was challenging that could be worked on, such as anything that wasn't 100% clear and could be elaborated on. Any sticking points should be addressed here.

  • Actually, I found really interesting the tutorial part of the lesson. I wish we could have had more time for that!
