  Module Learning: At the beginning of this module, my goals were to enhance my critical thinking skills and refine my communication abilities. Looking back, I can confidently say this academic journey has been a transformative experience. In terms of critical thinking, I initially struggled with breaking down complex concepts and understanding them. Some examples were the topics and articles I found online when sourcing for a topic to do in both reader response and technical project. But through the active participation in discussions and learning of course materials. I have nurtured a more analytical approach. For example, one was from the instructional units of reader response, it wrote that “In order to understand a text well, we have to highlight the key points of the text’. Another would be using the Paul Elder elements of thoughts which were the 7 questions in mind. This process not only expanded my understanding of the module but also strengthened my critical thinking process.

  I believe that I am deserving of an excellent grade. In this module, I have consistently made an effort to be punctual ensuring my presence for every class. I have always submitted my assignments promptly. My activeness and enthusiasm in class has always been displayed frequently, answering the professor questions when asked.  In group discussions, I consistently took the initiative to start the conversation as well as contributing constructive feedback to enhance the group discussion. When my peers were presenting, I actively listened to my peers, paying close attention to the information shared. This not only demonstrates my respect for them but also provides me the opportunity to pick up good presentation skill sets from my peers. Additionally, I take my professor and classmates' feedback with serious intent and utilise it to my advantage in order to help improve my communication skills.
