Critical thinking

At first when critical thinking was introduced in our course, I thought that it was useless or rather more like extra work. Although going through all the processes of this unit, I have gained a lot of experience in writing.

Part of this unit was the debate. My debate wasn’t bad, although I think that there could have been more things that could have been said. I had a lot to say to my opponent, even though  there was a misunderstanding on my opponent’s  side.  He didn’t mention any  negative things about my project so I found it difficult to debate alone. We wished that we had another chance because both of us were not prepared. Although the debate was fun and if I had another chance I would do it again,  I’m not the type of person that likes presenting in front of an audience.   I have learned that you become confident when you do your research well and you gain all the knowledge about the subject.

This assignment made me look at others work while researching. Through this I was observing how others write, in terms of formal writing and even informal writing.  From one blog to another I notice that I was applying it in my work without even noticing. Although I still believe that there is a lot of room for improvement.

When it came to the last task, we had to be updated about the reference and citation. I paid a lot of attention to this because of the important of plagiarism when doing the literature review next year.

While doing the essay I gained more knowledge for my dissertation next year.

Although this is the end of my blogs, I am still going to revisit them next year during my dissertation.
