Week One

I must admit standing at the back of the class and introducing themselves was different. It definitely made the first lecture more interesting.
It is nice to know that the lectures are not going to be boring but more interactive/group discussions/tasks/etc...

However It was kinda funny that after the introductions, Sylila and Rashika did mostly stand at the front and talk. (I guess because this was the first lecture and they were only explaining the overview of the course. The first day or few days are always an exception)

I have NEVER been one excessive amounts of study, or rather going out of my way to do research, or group assignments. Being a bit of an introvert I would much prefer to sit in my room and do all of my assignments alone, however I suppose this course will help me improve my collaboration skills. (which is a good thing, even though I view it as not particularly important)

Obstacles like going out of my comfort zone will be difficult for me to overcome but its all part of the learning experience.

I fell a lot more comfortable when I just need to rely on my own skills, because I know how well I perform and if I mess up I just have myself to blame, but as soon as I have to rely on someone else (in team environments/group work) I find it very difficult because I am no longer in control.
