Personal Reflection Writing

As part of our group assessment we have to each write an individual reflection on our experience of the module. I find exercises like this very beneficial because in the busy every day lives of students we take very little time to stop and reflect on what we are doing whether its in our college lives, our personal lives or our work lives. From my three years of studying commerce I have learned that reflecting is key for growth and planning. Understanding who you are and where you are in regards to different aspects of your life is core to reaching goals and objectives you have set for yourself.

Here is a quick screen-grab of my contribution to our group wiki with all of our personal reflections together. The full version of my reflection can be viewed on my group 10 wiki page.

It was only after I wrote my reflection that I felt a sense of achievement finishing this class. Though I have no idea of what kind of grade our group project will receive, I am happy that I was given such a challenge and that as a team we overcame the task and produced something we are each proud of.

Week 10/11 Upcoming Exam Revision

We have an exam scheduled for Friday the 17th of April. The exam structure is 25 multiple choice questions. In preparation for study I read over the Wiki-Notes from the last 10 weeks written by my classmates which I found very useful because it allowed me to revise the most important points from each lecture. As well as this I read a number of readings from the lectures I found most challenging such as week 3 collaborative information generation which had the reading: McKenzie, P., et al. (2012). User-generated online content 1: overview, current state and context. First Monday, 17(6). doi:10.5210/fm.v17i6.3912.

I also watched a number of YouTube videos, listed on Blackboard, on some of the topics taught in class. I preferred this method of learning because it was more interesting and engaging. Like the Wiki Notes the videos kept to the point and were very relevant to the point. Sometimes I find that academic readings can contain a lot of unimportant information and it can be difficult to distinguish what is most important to remember about certain subjects.
