Criterion F - Self evaluation

I think my personal motivation when it comes to IT projects we are working on varies a lot depending on the particular unit. Sometimes, I'm really into the topic and I end up enjoying it so much that I do a lot of extra work; other times, I just try to maintain my grades and I can see the difference in the end.
Even though I don't always work to the "best" of my ability, I think I always try to attain the best grades and that motivates me to keep working. As I said in my evaluation, I was very enthusiastic about our Portraiture Technology at first and then lost interest while working on the actual piece, before starting to really understand what I was learning from this. When I look at my Criterion D part, it doesn't sound very personal or unique to me, simply what I was expected to write.
People can't be interested in everything, though, and I think that overall I maintain a positive attitude towards all of our subjects. If things in IT don't particularly interest me, I'll still try to tie the topic to my other fields of interest. For example, art is not nearly as much my thing as computer graphics, so I spent more time on my Design criterion for this unit than I would've done for other projects.
Concerning cooperation with others, I'm afraid I'm not much of a team worker. Sometimes my teammates haven't set themselves the same standards as I have, or they have a different opinion on how we should do the project. I tend to believe that my way is the only way to do it and end up taking control, because I want to be everywhere at once. I think I am getting better with this, though. It's easier for me when I'm working with people I know, because then I value their opinions more without realizing it. As this is my third year in ISU, I'm starting to know all of my classmates fairly well. After each project where I didn't do more than my share and things turned out fine, I grow less controlling and more trusting in others. I believe cooperating is really something I need to improve, and I guess realizing the need for it is the first step towards change. I appreciate other people's work when I see it, and always try to make positive comments, so I don't really know why I can't appreciate it so well when the same people are working with me.
For this particular unit, cooperation wasn't too much of an issue as this was an individual project. I got some good ideas from my friends, which I listened to, but I think I could've taken in even more input. Even though this was a self portrait, my friends are part of who I am. I think this is the biggest aspect of Criterion F I would like to improve this year.
