I am most proud of how I have incorporated intensive research, as well as instructor and peer feedback into my Media and Case Analysis assignments. The instructor’s feedback urged me to look at the legal aspects of the case scenario, which is what I did. During the breakout rooms, I was able to incorporate peer feedback as others had a more comprehensive understanding of advocacy and the law than I did. In doing this, I helped further develop my knowledge and advocacy skills, and it opened my eyes to different perspectives, hence offering a more diverse scope going into future social work practice, where I will have already developed an understanding of advocacy, law, and politics, as scholars say are skills needed for effective social work (O’Hara et al., 2010). I am also proud that during this journey I have reaffirmed my desire to work with Indigenous people and communities to help bring about inclusion, equity, and equality.
I could have improved my learning outcomes by delving deeper into the case scenarios to have a greater understanding of the individual described in the case. Unfortunately, the time constraints of a full-time, working, mature student did not allow for more extensive research.
