REFLECTIONS
Experience
In general, I continued to experience the same problems as I had in the Design
Research Methodology module during Semester 2. Taking on five modules at once
was too much for me, and I had a challenging time. I had regular mental
breakdowns and felt frustrated with myself a lot. I acknowledge that,
particularly in Task 1, I was careless, and given my prior experience
with similar situations, I should have better managed my time and
workload.
I would like to express my sincere apologies for disappointing my instructor,
Ms. Jinchi, once again. However, I truly appreciate her understanding and
assistance during this module. She is among the lecturers I hold in the
highest regard. My family's constant encouragement and my friends' guidance
and assistance while I was lost are further individuals I want to thank. I am
now aware of the importance of feedback in my personal development, and I will
use all I've learnt here to get better in the future.
Observation
During this module, I observed my work habits, emotional reactions, and
progress in learning under pressure. A significant discovery is that I found
it quite difficult to balance my workload and manage my time, particularly
while handling five modules at once. Procrastination and lack of focus were
patterns I observed, especially at the beginning of the project. Stress
and dissatisfaction resulted from this, which led to emotional breakdowns and
periods of self-doubt.
Findings
I learnt from this experience that self-awareness is necessary for personal
development. I came to see that poor time management has an impact on both my
productivity and mental health. I discovered how important it is to be more
proactive and responsible, particularly in situations that are similar to
those I have already faced. I also learnt how important feedback is, whether
it comes from friends, lecturers, or simply self-reflection, as it enables me
to see my shortcomings and areas for improvement. Above all, I discovered that
the key to advancing is commitment, even in the face of huge challenges.
Regardless of my mistakes, this module has taught me valuable lessons about
self-control, mental toughness, and the value of seeking assistance when
necessary.
