SELF REFLECTIONS

Experience :
To be completely honest, I hated this module at first because of how complicated it is for me. I had a hard time understanding the topic, like I know what needed to be done but at the same time I'm confused on how to do it. My experience in the beginning was not the very best especially in doing the e-port. I never documented any of my progress before so doing the e-port was such a chore to do at first. Honestly, until now it's still a bit of a chore to do but it's better now. The same with how I began to tolerate studying this module, maybe if given enough time, I may start to like to learn this module. I am a person that has very little motivation so maybe this module will grow on me so much that I want to learn about this module more and pursue something associated to it. For now though, it is an okay module that I had an alright experience with, it definitely started off on the wrong foot for me but I'm okay with it now. My favorite though has to be task 2 because it was somehow complicated yet somehow simple ? It's fun to do though.

Observation :
Based on my observation of myself, I can conclude that I am not an observant person, but projects like this requires me to be somewhat observant either to my classmates or my lectures. I often forgot to observe how others do this projects but when I do, it definitely helps me did my projects. By observing through others, I learn a bit more on the how to of the project. As I said earlier I'm not an observant person so I often had a hard time keeping up others as well because they can catch more materials than I can in a span of a some time. However, I observed that despite that they also have their own struggle so in a way that comforted me because I didn't feel alone on being confused on doing the project.

Findings :
I usually find myself struggling to manage my time but as time goes by I learned to manage my time slightly better than before. I also find myself starting to have fun doing these kind of projects despite my initial reluctance at the beginning of the semester because it was so complicated for me to understand back then. But despite that, I find that the solution that problem was time, Through the passing of time, I starts to understand more and more as I did the projects. I think repetition also help solidifies what I learned into my memory. So now, if I didn't really understand a material from this module specifically, I'll just give myself some time to learn it through practice and not just procrastinate more just because I didn't understand it right now.
