Data Dump

After our trip to Baycrest Health Science, Mr. Essabhai gave us a new task: creating a data dump. As a team, we began to write down the information about the issue at hand, along with the thoughts and insights that we had during our visit.

We divided the information into four categories.  1) What surprised us. 2) Ah-ha moments important new insights. 3) Possible tensions. 4) New questions we have.

When we started this project, we didn't fully understand what we were delving into. We thought we would spend most of our time simply creating a series of causal models and systems maps. But after visiting Baycrest, we realized we would have to undergo a much more complicated process to solve the recruitment problem the institution faces.
After creating the data dump we knew we were we going to struggle due to the sheer amount of questions we had. How were we going to use the information? How were we to find the answers to our pressing questions? The assignment's overwhelming nature has begun to show and we feel like we are nowhere near the end.

Aha Moments!: Baycrest's Asaf and Rosanne Visits JPCI

Image
On December 13, 2018, Dr. Asaf Gilboa and Dr. Rosanne Aleong went to visit us to hear our thoughts regarding the work that we were currently doing which is the Pro-pro Chart, as aforementioned in the past blog. The process would be: Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne would have time to sit in each group separately to help them express their thoughts and insights freely and without restrictions from each other. This would help us screen the information in a direct communication given by each of them without them framing each other's thoughts, for as we later on discovered, the two of them also have conflicts going on and have their own parts/themes they want to highlight.  We talked to Dr. Asaf Gilboa later after we had talked to Dr. Rosanne. In a short period of time, we found out two things from Dr. Asaf. First, he exhibits that the majority of the students coming into the institution are under the category of raising their hands, estimation of 90% and 10% under tapping shoulder

Interview With Jamison Steeve

Mr. Essabhai and his previous classes have been going to UofT for interviews with other people. He would ask for someone who has an interesting and outstanding career. The purpose of the interview is for us to have guidance or a role model in life. Especially in terms of leadership and career choices. Hopefully, by doing the interview, we acquire a lesson that we can use in our own life. The best candidate is Jamison Steeve. The day before we interviewed Jamison, we were told to email Mr. Essabhai some questions. After, he gave every group a printed out sheet with questions. It was funny to see more than half of the questions Mr. Essabhai printed out, were created by Joshua and Christine. Most of the questions were answered even before it was asked. Jamison had an amazing quote that stood out to us, "Every job has a tax,

Second Draft of Pro-Pro Chart: Where Arguments Break Out After Asaf and Rosanne's comments; Before Mr. Essabhai's comments  2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – Other Institutions 2nd Draft of Pro-Pro Chart – University of Toronto 1st draft Pro-pro Chart  After the meeting we had with Dr. Asaf and Dr. Rosanne, we were faced with the challenge to improve our Pro-pro Chart while taking into account all the information we grasp from them. However, before we had the chance to think about filling out the missing benefit bubble of the Pro-pro Chart and making the existing ones solid and strong, sudden confusion and insight arose. Christine, one of the groupmate rises a point that turned the group into much deeper thinking process. She suggested that the students, one of the stakeholders, that were originally divided as the raising hands and tapping shoulders should be merged as one. This is because she saw that dividing the students would create redundant and flexi
