Final Reflection on Learning

At 9.30am, 14 April 2014, I felt shocked after my teacher said, “You know what, today is our last lesson.” Time does fly. Due to administration problems, I did not have lessons for the first two weeks. I did not really understand what I should do for this module at beginning. I was not that lucky also. Not only had I missed the first mock peer teaching presentation, also messed up with actually one. At the point I knew we misunderstand the knowledge our group should present, all the time we spent to practice and design activity seems so meaningless. From that point onwards, I knew that I will pay more attention to the information given and never let my efforts flew away like this. However it was good experience to work with others as one team. English is not my first language; therefore I am not confident in public speaking. During group meeting, we need to communicate with each other in English. They helped me to correct the pronunciations and made me more confident in presentation.

With many years of working experiences, I was not worry about my resume. However, that was the first time I learnt how to write application letter. It is important to have a good application letter to show your ability and engagement. With the help from other classmates during lesson, I improved my grammar and content in my application letter. Moreover, since I was the one to in charge agenda and minute written for the team project work, I studied how to write a formal agenda and summarised content of meeting. Those were valuable experiences that useful in my future career. Blog written can also be considered as a new experience I ever had. I was able to interact with other classmates through reading their blogs. I was also able to share my idea via this platform.

Team project work could be considered as the main subject for this module. We need use all the skills we have learnt, like research, conducting survey. From the beginning of the project work we worked as one group, it made our progress more effective. After the teacher indicated all the problems with our presentation, we made many changes. I and Wei Pin swapped our tasks. Due to he didn’t join the meeting for solutions discussion, I briefed him our main idea. And me, started all over again. However, the efforts we provided were not wasted. All of us felt “we did it” when our teacher told us “well done”. This module gave me a chance to expose my ideas, a chance to improve my communication skills, a chance to learn professional and formal written skills. Thank you, I really enjoy itJ
