Summary Reflective Overview
(Week 1 to 13)
By Andress Hamenda (u4330344)
This is the end of our Management and Organisations class in 2007. We have accomplished the business report for the community project. We have evaluated our friends’ performance during the semester. We have also submitted all of our reflective learning journals. Others probably may think that they have just delivered from the time consuming reflective learning journal.
For me, to be honest, I think this is just the beginning of applying a new way of thought that I got. The course has just changed me. I am going to apply the concept of reflective learning journal not only for next semester, but also for my whole life. I found myself has changed to be a reflective person. In everyday activities, even before going to bed, I found myself recess and contemplate about what things I have done successfully, what things I have not achieved yet, and which areas I made mistakes during a day. The aims of reflective learning journal have been fulfilled since I can transfer it to my daily life and I find that “It is more valuable to realise that why we failed rather than experiencing our success without knowing why we could achieve or obtain the success!” We will never obtain worthwhile solution for our mistakes if our mind is too busy to think the other things and does not have time to reflect and to evaluate our mistakes. For example, students, whose managerial understanding actually have been enriched successfully by writing reflective learning journal, but just think it merely as a compulsory assignment, will not obtain better understanding in the other courses as well as they did in Management and Organisation course. Conversely, I realised that students in our class were more likely to interpret my quietness in class as a passive behaviour. No
