Self-reflection (Week 12)

        In this week, our group had to present our business proposal for entrepreneurship course and submitted two assignments for the other courses. Although it was not my first time to make a presentation, I still felt nervous. My mind went blank when I made the presentation. What I could do for that time was just read out the contents of the slides. I hoped I could do it better next time. Yi Ting, I believed in you, you can do better!

            Other than the presentation, we were given another task for Computer and Writing course. Initially, we do not know the task given was for our last assignment, review and report. Therefore, we just followed the lecturer’s instructions and completely finished as teamwork. However, what we had done was not the one that the lecturer would like to see. Then, we worked together to redo our work. Luckily, all of us could still manage to find the time to solve the problems. I was so proud for our group which could work hand-in-hand all the time. I was so grateful to them. I could still remembered the time when we tried to finish the assignment in the middle night. Everyone was so dedicated for the work. I could feel the enthusiasm in us. From that moment onwards, I knew, they are irreplaceable in my heart.

            The other assignment was regarding on the APA style. Before doing this assignment, I must admit that I did not study much on APA style even though it was so important to do the reference for our assignment. There were so many details I lack of it and sometimes I might misunderstand the requirements for the assignment. After consulting the lecturer and my course mates, then I found out the way to work on it. I was thankful to my course mate who was willing to give a helping hand to me when I could not find the related books. I was glad to have the honour to be her friend! I was grateful to my lecturer who was always giving us her opinions and guidance to our assignment. Finally, the assignment was completely done.

            

My Self-Reflection (Week 11)

       On Monday, I had been complimented by our entrepreneurship's lecturer for scoring the highest in the mid-term test. I got the same result with another course mate. I did not expect that it was me who scored the highest. I was unsure when the lecturer asked us to guess who was the one scored the highest. I could still remembered I was so nervous during the time answering the questions. I was thankful for my lecturer for teaching us so well. However, there were some of my course mate who failed to do it well. Then, suggestions of having another test or assignment or both being proposed. It could be a good news for them but not for me, surely. Not matter what kinds of test or assignment would be given, I knew that I could do it well.

       On Tuesday, we had an unexpected task by our lecturer. Our lecturer had found out that most of us had not master English grammar. Therefore, we were giving a task to write a 350-400 words essay within three hours. The topic that we had to write was determine by ourselves. We had to search three books which were related to our topic from the library and read them on the spot so that we could produce a better writing. It was a new challenge for me. Luckily, I was manage to complete it in time and submitted it in a box outside our lecturer's office. 

      Our group had presented our business proposal for our Business English course on the Thursday. Although it was not my first time to make a presentation, I still felt like butteries in my stomach. I hoped that I had done nothing wrong during our presentation. Just before the business proposal presentation began, our lecturer had introduced us a senior who was going to Australia to further her study on that day. She got an offer of degree in University of South Australia. It was her who ignited our dreams to further our studies. We were grateful for her to share her experience for us to inspire us to go on further in our studies.

My Self-Reflection (Week 10)

             I was still in the mood in celebrating Chinese New Year in this week. I was lacked of energy to complete all the tasks and assignments that had been given by the lecturer. I disliked myself for being reluctant to fulfill my responsibility as a student to complete the tasks and assignments given. I tried to find other ways to regain my power to complete the works given. Luckily, my caring and loving family members always encourage me to do it. They understood my situation and chatted with me to enlighten me to complete my works.

            Even though I am studying in third semester already, the thought of giving up my study here and back to my warm house has never been ceased. Whenever I feel stressed, I will ask myself why I have to continue my study since I can get a job without this diploma. I was so weak in persuading myself to continue my study. My mother is my angel and she always comforts me when I faced with any obstacles. She is the one who motivates me all the times. I am thankful to her for bringing me to this beautiful world and teach me many things. If she does not support me all the times, I think I have already gave up my study.

             In this week, I had done my quiz in academic writing class. I was worried about my result because I was not confidence in answering the question. The questions given were all in the subjective form and essay form. The only thing that I could do was crossing my fingers and praying for a better result. Other than academic writing class, I had attended reading for aesthetic purposes class which was so boring to me. Maybe I was not interested in the novel “To Kill a Mocking Bird”, but I had tried my best to indulge myself in the class. I had no done the comparison between the novel and the movie yet. It was the most difficult work for me to do so I leave it to the last. I hoped that I could finished it early.
