Assignment 1 - Journal
The first assignmnet given by our dear lecturer, Ms. Tan is writing a journal. This task required us to write something that had happened before in our life and then, relate it back to the situation with the theory that we have learned in Social Psychology class.
My lecturer, Ms. Tan had patiently give us a short briefing about what we need to do and what is the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) of this assignment.
The first intended learning outcome is lifelong learning, whereby we could learn how to locate and extract information effectively. Also, we could relate learned knowledge to everyday life.
Second, it is the thinking and problem solving skills, in which, we could learn how to think critically and creatively. In addition, we could learn how to define and analyse problems to arrive at effective solutions.
After I have completed the journal, I felt that Social Psychology is not a very boring and dull subject after all. Since I could better understand the concept, I am beginning to take some interest in the subject.
I also realised that Social Psychology is actually a part of our everyday life, everything we did can almost be related back to the concept in this subject. Sometimes, a few theories can be applied in a small situation.
However, my weakness in this assignment that I have to improved is that I am not being very specific about the situation I have experienced.
Therefore, I realised that the best strategies in learning this subject is by paying full attention to all the lecture taught by our lecturer in the class. It is much more easier to understand by listening to the lecturer rather than just plain reading.
I felt that I need to improve the ways how I wrote my story, to be more specific and clear about what I want to expressed.
Hence, I want to say thank you to Ms. Tan for her patience and passion.
