Example reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 the Visualization tool was the one I first used . Thanks to it I was able to translate and 

 explain my ideas to various people who either did not depend on technical terms or simply did not 

 see the big picture I had in mind . I was able to explain the problem through Visual thinking and 

 explain the solution to the latter problem in simple word since using the Visualization tool simplify 

 the process of explanation . This approach can be used by anyone and does not require any 

 prerequisite or others . I remember using this approach often when I had a group project in college . 

 I worked with different types of people , those who got it easily and those who needed time to 

 understand . In the " Good Kitchen " video , they mentioned how the visualization was about making 

 it tangible and concrete . An idea could seem well off , but if we make it as concrete as possible , we 

 could then move on to the next step which is the implementation and discussion of all possible 

 routes o success . There was this project where we had to design a fire alarm from scratch . The 

 fellow students that were with me had no experience in doing anything from scratch . Since I 

 already had some experience , I took the initiative to explain the process in doing it from A to Z. 

 of course engineering does require some planning , so talking was not enough for them . And the 

 process seemed very long . Therefore , I decided to visualize the process instead of writing it down . 

 Honestly , it brightened up the mood in my group as the students were already exhausted . 

 Application 

 As I remember one of the videos about " the Good Kitchen " , it said at some point that visualization 

 was the " what wows ? " . We need to make it tangible and concrete for others to grab our big picture 

 step by step . So , I mapped out the process from A to Z , starting from the brainstorming of ideas , 

 selecting the best design , discussing the possible downsides of it , discussing the materials to be 

 used to construct the design , and so on . Of course , the whole process was tiring for some time , but 

 in the end , it was worth it . 

 Some steps were taking more time to achieve than others . For instance , getting the materials was 

 a complex task as we had to get them delivered from another city way far from where our college 

 was located . But in case some of those materials were delivered broken or non - working , we had 

 to take them back and wait again for the next delivery . Sometimes , we had to map out other 

 alternatives to those materials that took time to be delivered . Visualization is about being realistic , 

 and so we had to be realistic about the project and the deadline . We then , went on site to search 

 for that equipment and visualize how the alternatives could replace the one we already agreed on . 

 When everything was there for us to start constructing the prototype , we had to draw the design 

 again as some tools were changed for others ( alternatives ) . I suggested to my teammates to get rid 

 of the old design as it was not relevant anymore . And to be true , I was right . We had to do the 

 process again from scratch . It took some time but , in the end , everyone grabbed the whole picture , 

 and finally , we could start creating our very first prototype . 

 Insight & Approach 

 What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that they need to 

 comprehend the problem we are trying to solve and getting their insights is a primordial point to 

 solve the issue in exchanging ideas . When we gather all together , we get to know more about each 

 other and how we view the problem and the solution . The mapping has helped us in defining what 

 has been done yet and what is left to be done . It has also helped us create more alternatives and 

 add more approaches that some of us have found in the way of discussion . The design phase was 

 the stage of our work that had the most modifications . Pretty much all the group members have 

 put up their idea at least once on that graph and of course , no judgments have been shown when 

 the insights were discussed . Through these meeting sessions , we were able to identify what was 

 missing in our design , what was additional , and so on . And eventually , we each gained additional 

 insights on our project and a new vision of how to complete it . Moreover , I discovered that the 

 most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning that each one of us contributes to the work . 

 Next time , the visualization tool would be a prominent tool for me to us accomplish my work .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
