I’m really excited about this first week of Unit 4. The previous three units focused primarily on Arts and Culture, with very little emphasis on business, which is a realm I’m less familiar with. I’m particularly looking forward to the first lesson because I’ve always preferred face-to-face classes over online ones. In addition to learning about Ranjit’s background in the initial section, I find the “How Enterprising Are You Quiz” to be quite intriguing. I wasn’t aware of such a test, but my test results conclude that I am highly enterprising, which align with my self-perception.

One notable aspect of the lecture is the discussion of the six stages of learning. It turns out that I’ve instinctively been following these stages, but it’s beneficial to have them conceptualized. The stages – remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating – shed light on why some topics provide me with tangible benefits while others pose challenges. I’ve also gained insight into a step-by-step approach to critical thinking.

Another key point emphasized is the importance of offering and receiving help when it comes to completing our assignments. It’s great to know that support is readily available.

Finally, I had the privilege of attending project presentations by students who are a year ahead of us. This invaluable experience provided me with insights on how to approach my own final assignment. Additionally, I was delighted to meet with Andy again and had the chance to provide him and Olive with feedback regarding the course with Bernice and Venus.
