UCS1001 Reflective Thinking

-

Ideal: To attend lectures and class more often

Reality (Gap): I often miss classes especially when it's in the morning

Causes: Unable to wake up early in the morning/oversleeping

Effects: I miss out on important information given by lecturers

Goals: Be able to attend all my classes

Possible Changes: Rest earlier the night before/Stop using electronic devices after a certain time before bed

Testing the hypothesis: Decided to keep my phone locked away before bed to get a better rest

Outcome: Able to sleep earlier and therefore able to attend all my morning classes

The way we could prepare for the workforce is to start developing and improving during our education and in classes. Being confident and impressionable is an important part of communication skills, in which could be a good way of making new connections and meeting new people, and of course having two thinking minds is better than one. Being future engineers, having connections and friends in the industry is always an advantage. If I...
