    This document contains a self-evaluation by Joshua Mooiweer of his performance in a scene study. He learned about the importance of collaboration and professionalism from obstacles his group faced. While he worked hard given challenges, he could have improved by using extra time for character development. His final performance went well though relationships could have been stronger. He gained insights from others' work like identifying beats and unnatural acting choices. R.E.G.O.T. elements like relationships and goals came easily but environment and tactics were more difficult. He needs to build confidence and versatility in portraying different characters.
