At this point of writing, I have already completed and submitted the Final Assignment, and I therefore conclude that this piece of work above is quite badly done. Obviously as my first piece of work in the module, and after taking into account at that time the newness of what I had just learnt, it is expected that the first piece would be bad.
Looking at the list of Taylor's graduate capabilities, I believe I have earned a few of those skills thanks to my first ITD assignment. The first skill I have achieved is lifelong learning, for I was able to locate, extract, synthesise and utilize information effectively, before applying it to my work. The areas I used this skill was during lectures, where I would take notes of important information with high relevance to my work, through questions with my lecturer and through the use of the internet, where I would refer to other works.
The next Taylor's graduate capability I have earned is the set of thinking and problem solving skills. Why I believe I have earned this valuable set of skills is because I was able to define and analyze problems, when I didn't know what to do or how to do something, and eventually arrive at effective solutions.
