Critical Reflection (Draft 1)

The experience of writing the problem solving essay made me realised the importance of finding resources from the Internet and books that will provide essential help to support my ideas. Before this course, instead of sourcing for different insights and opinions, I used my experience to explain the issues of the essays. This made my thoughts unorganised and I am unable to translate clearly into my essays. Therefore, I learnt to make use of resources to assist me in coordinating my thoughts to answer the question.

Adding on, it is also very crucial to use resources that answer the question. For the problem solving essay, I am tasked to write about the one negative impact caused by globalisation. Instead of answering the question, I focused entirely on the negative impact itself due to the resources I have read. I was misled by the reference and disregarded the linkage of globalisation and the negative impact. After having a consultation with my tutor, I realised my mistake and spent more time and effort to correct my essay. The learning point is when writing an essay, it is very important to constantly read the question and my own writing to ensure that I answer the question and not deviate.

Lastly, I feel that this course is very interactive and I had an enjoyable time learning new skills that will definitely be useful to my future endeavours.
