Empathy

Background

Privilege refers to the advantages that individuals and groups are afforded in systems of power (communities, organizations, countries, families, etc.). Often, conversations about privilege become ones where stark lines are drawn between "haves" and "have-nots"; we're aiming for a slightly different discussion today, where we'll focus on how privilege and marginalization affect our relationships with each other and how we can navigate these dynamics to work better together.

Here's what we're going to do today:

DTR: Define the Relationship

Use this template to when conducting DTR with your project partners. It's recommended that you copy/paste this template into your own gist each time you conduct a DTR to take notes on the conversation.

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

What are your learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? Jorge and I will be focusing on object constructor functions, creating different classes, learning how to manipulate and create object interactions through a game. We want to learn how to create simple games and animations.
What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?

	# Feedback II Reflection

	* Date of feedback conversation:
	Last week on Wednesday or Thursday


	* How did you prepare for the conversation?
	I didn't prepare much for this conversation. I knew what we needed to work on since we had a pretty open and dynamic relationship communication wise.

	* How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?

	* What project management strategies did you use in your projects this module? What went well? What would you do differently next time?

	I used a lot of the strategies that are relevant to the Agile approach. For example constantly communicating small changes to my project partner is absolutely essential in order to create a healthy work dynamic between the two of us. Also I'm able to make small adjustments on the fly by receiving constructive feedback as soon as I submit changes. The things that went well were when we followed the agile best practice work flow. When things didn't go well was when we lost track of taking into accont this rubric. The reason for that was communication often times would break down. When we weren't on the same page about the code that had been written it was time consuming and often very difficult to decipher large changes that had been implemented.
