Critical Reflection
Module learning
At the start of the module, the goals that I hope to achieve were overcoming public speaking and obtaining professional writing skills. I also aim to establish good relationship with my peers in class and team members to facilitate a fruitful learning experience. While attending Prof Brad’s lecture, I was given the chance to participate in the class activity as he encourages us to read out paragraphs and interact with peers. I realise that I had a bad habit of hesitating before I speak and did not have the confidence to interact with peers in a class. Participating in various class activity slowly builds up my confidence in speaking and I started to be more comfortable in communicating with a larger audience.
With
the help of instructional unit 4 and the summary reader response, I learn and
gain the ability to paraphrase and summarize text or articles. Although it is
still not fully refined, it has aided me in becoming more acquainted with the
correct format and avoiding typical errors when composing various written forms
such as essays or letter.
Furthermore, the assignments that focus on critical thinking and reflection such as Dewey’s and Rogers’s models proven to be useful for me as they provide structured guidelines to help me organize my thoughts in a clear and coherent manner before I think or write any essay or report assignments. With the new skills that I attained, I am able to practice and apply these techniques on other modules as well as for my future careers.
Project learning
During
the technical report assignment, I gain valuable experiences on how to function
effectively in a team, conduct research, analyze findings, and communicate
effectively. It was also an excellent chance to meet new people and build
relationships. Through our teamwork, we were able to identify each other's
strengths and weaknesses while working towards a common goal. At the start of
the assignment, we were brainstorming on the topics that we have chosen and
each of us were voicing out our ideas and solution with one another. I felt
that I was lucky as we were all on the same frequency which enabled us to
assign responsibilities and collaborate effectively as a group.
