Final Reflection
For week 13, I am required as an individual to reflect on this trimester for AIM110. I am required to reflect and present in my lecture what I have created this trimester, what I have learnt during this trimester, what I have learnt about my own reflective practices during this trimester, what I am planning to improve for the next trimester, and lastly, where I think I fit on the overall grading scale and why.
During this trimester, multiple projects have been created, whereby for AIM110, I found it extremely helpful and informative. I loved learning about my different inclusions within the world of music and understanding the way they have developed throughout time. It was also really interesting to learn about the different audio forms and understand the way in which the history of music has successfully developed through time and why it developed.
Having the opportunity to continually reflect on my transfarable skills and on my weekly learnt content provided me with the opportunity to reflect on what I had learnt that week and on the ways in which I could improve. Through this reflective practice process, it also allowed me to cross-check and apply what I had learnt and received feedback on my other units, AUD176.
For the next trimester, my plan is to improve my organizational skills. Due to the fact that I will be undertaking 50 unit credits at the same time, I will be required to continually ensure that my learning reflections are completed on a daily basis instead of at the end of each week. I am also aiming to more frequently ask for feedback from my peers to allow me as an individual to continually improve on the work I am doing and the project on which I am submitting.
For the upcoming trimester, I will also be looking to collaborate more with the film and game students to give me an opportunity to then apply my skillset and learn skills within a real-life context. Over this upcoming break, I am also looking to apply the emotional intelligence content learned in AIM110 to a real-life situation as I am looking to film and start my own personal podcast through the application of my learnt musical production skills in AUD176.
In terms of the overall assessment guide and grading for this unit, I believe I should be able to achieve a HD grade. Despite all the technological issues faced with my website, I was also able to submit and present both my learning journals and project submissions within the given time frame. Another reason why I believe I should be able to achieve a high distinction grade in this unit is due to the fact that I have been able to continually reflect on my work on a weekly basis and act on the feedback provided by my lecturers.
In terms of the challenges encountered during this time in the way in which I addressed them, the main issues were the learning journals and the website platform. My website was constantly not syncing and synchronizing with my lectures' webpage, which resulted in information that was reflected on my side not being reflected on his end at times.This could definitely affect my overall rate and be considered an inconsistent reflective practice. However, I had ensured that every week I demonstrated what I had learnt and what I had reflected on the previous week through Zoom to my lecture. I continuously asked for feedback and ensured that I was getting as much information as possible on the ways in which I could improve and continue to develop my skills.
In terms of my transferable skills learnt this trimester, I personally think that I was able to reflect on all of the set transferable skills at different times throughout the course, however, focusing more on certain aspects in comparison to others. An example as to where I feel that the transferable skills section was continuously reflected upon more than others was interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skills state that it is the ability to communicate with other team members and the lecture. This skill was one on which I was continually working and asking for feedback. The skills which I feel were also a great reflection during this trimester were problem-solving and critical thinking. I was continuously able to problem solve issues that arose through our project submissions and project creations, but at the same time, I was also able to critically think of solutions that were applicable to different scenarios that were faced and challenges encountered throughout this trimester.
