Scientific acting and reasoning have been critical in the successful delivery of work duties. There are a number of ways that I act as a scientist. First is through information gathering. At work, different tasks may require different approaches. Before undertaking the task, gathering information on how the approach works, its benefits, and its cons are critical in evaluating its effectiveness. The second way is setting hypotheses about the outcome. This factor checks actions on a task against what is considered as the desired output. This will help in concentrating production methodologies to achieving a low variance output.
