EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 3
Task 1 (a)
What is the event/incident that you are reflecting on? (Indicating the relevant week)
The event is related to private GSM London College that is going to stop teaching. It is identified
that GSM London is one of biggest private higher education providers in England. It has gone
into the administration and would stop the teaching the students in September. It is also pointed
out that the college states that it has not been competent for recruiting and retaining the adequate
amount of scholars to create sufficient revenues to be sustainable (BBC news, 2019). It is also
identified that GSM London College is engaged in teaching approximately 3,500 scholars with
degree courses to validate by the university of Plymouth. The college located in Greenwich as
well as, Greenford states that 247 jobs are at uncertainty. Week 8 is used for developing the
understanding of Myers Briggs of personality. In such manner, I have pointed out that there are
different criteria for assessing the personality (Olsen, 2015).
Why is this event/incident significant for you?
This event is significant for me to develop knowledge regarding private GSM London College. It
would be also effective for retaining and recruiting scholars within GSM London College
(Korthagen, 2017).
What technique/model did you use?
Myers Briggs of personality test was used for assessing the personality of scholars. Feedback
technique is practiced for self-awareness. This feedback is collected through tutor feedback and
peer feedback (Vetere and Stratton, 2016).
Why did it happen and what was your initial reaction to the event/incident?
This event is happened because of the declining profitability of GSM London College. The
initial reaction to the event was marketization of education (Kroll, and Dussias, 2017).

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 4
Applying the relevant model, reflect on the event/incident• would these reflections change if
using a different model/technique?
Description
This reflective report presents the incident of stop teaching at GSM London College. It also
demonstrates the Gibbs reflective cycle to reflect on incidents. There would be no difference in
the case reflection technique would be changed (Christie, et. al., 2018).
Feelings
Throughout the module, I felt that Profit College is owned through private equity firm and
emphasized on business option. It is noticed that event is one of sign regarding private providers
that encourages for endorsing more of the market within higher education. From the module, I
felt that its fall down is possible for raising questions regarding the accomplishment of such
commercialization of area. It is identified that it was not a university as well as, not regulated
through higher education watchdog. I have also realized that overarching preferences is to make
sure that scholars are competent for completing their investigations (Ramia, et. al., 2016).
It is addressed that some scholars who are nearing the completion of their investigations would
be competent for staying at GSM London College. However, it is recognized that most would
require transferring to other higher education providers. It is felt that the college had 5,440
scholars with recent data indicating 3500 (Avidov-Ungar, 2016). I have also pointed out that a
statement through GSM London states that discussion with other higher education contributors
demonstrates the alternative courses for scholars and would facilitate them in application
procedure (Walsh and Craig, 2016).
Evaluation

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 5
Throughout the module, it is evaluated that the college states that it cannot remain financially
feasible as well as, had been incapable of addressing a purchaser for making sure its long-
standing future. It is also addressed that GSM London college would be orderly wind-down as
well as, closure of college until September. It is also evaluated that union of UCU lecturers stated
that marketization of education as well as, warned regarding funding a free for all between
private providers (Davies, Curtin, and Robson, 2017).
This assessment would be effective for avoiding stop teaching events. It is also addressed that
education spokeswoman wishes a broader and sustainable market in higher education that
provides flexibility to scholars as well as, a wider range of superior selection for what and where
they investigate. It is evaluated that there are several institutions that are sound in financial
health. It is found that the department for education and office for scholars are clear that neither
would bail out weakening providers (Brody, and Hadar, 2015).
Myers Briggs personality test was conducted for assessing different kinds of personality such as
Extraversion – Introversion, Sensing – Intuition, Thinking – Feeling, and Judging – Perceiving.
In such a manner, Extraversion – Introversion indicates the direction and source of an energy
expression about an individual. It is also evaluated that sources and direction of extravert about
energy expression are mainly in the external world when an introvert has a basis of energy
mainly in own internal environment (Hill, et. al., 2016). Throughout the module, it is pointed out
that sensing-intuition demonstrates the technique through which an individual perceives data. I
have also perceived that sensing indicates that an individual believes mainly data he or she
receives through the internal or imaginative environment (Núñez Pardo and Téllez Téllez, 2015).
From the criteria, thinking-feeling demonstrate how an individual processes data. It is identified
that thinking indicates that an individual creates decision mainly via logic. During the module, it

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 6
was taught to me that feeling indicates that as a rule, he or she can make a decision as per the
emotion such as based on what they feel they should perform. It is observed that judging and
perceiving demonstrate how an individual executes the data he or she has processed. It is opined
that judging indicates that an individual manages all of his life events and as a regulation, it can
stick to his plan. It is also observed that perceiving indicates that he or she is inclined to
improvising as well as, exploring alternative selections (Ahmed and Ward, 2016).
It is evaluated that SOAR is a new and currently introduced model that offers higher emphasize
on favorable aspects. I have also increased my learning about SWOT analysis. It is proven to be
highly enduring analytical tool practiced in strategic management. It can be supportive for an
organization for comprehending the prospecting challenges, involves how arranged they might
be as well as, whether or not they have the competencies for responding towards the possible
challenges (Vangrieken, et. al., 2017).
Conclusions
From the above interpretation, it can be concluded that GSM London College is going to stop
due to declining profitability. It is identified that UCU lecturers evaluated that marketization of
education together with, warned about funding a free for all amongst private providers.
Action
GSM London College should take a step for improving its profitability rather than focusing on
stopping college. It can use effective marketing strategies for endorsing its college among
students. It can also contribute to CSR activities for making a positive image among scholars
(Patton, Parker, and Tannehill, 2015).
How useful/effective has learned through reflection been and why (was there a change in
action or attitude)?

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 7
Learning through reflection is beneficial for understanding different aspects of GSM College. In
this way, it is stated that reflection is a practice of learning by each day experience and creates
integral components regarding undergraduate and post-graduate higher education midwifery
initiatives. It is addressed that scholars are motivated for practicing structured model related to
reflection, which shows the ability to reflecting on their experience at the time of clinical
activities. These models of reflection would be evaluated and practice of reflective activities
within midwifery higher education would be discussed (Von Suchodoletz, et. al., 2018).
It is identified that reflection is illustrated as a procedure that makes competent to learn from
continues series regarding experience through which, continuity regarding meaning occurs
overtimes. It is addressed that reflective thinking entailed a systematic and scientific procedure
regarding detailing experience for creating theories and hypotheses and then considering
intelligent action for testing such theories (Bornman and Louw, 2019). It is identified that this
concept of reflective thinking was but, highly placed within the context of education in which the
aim of scholars for increasing the understanding via learning. Under the professional context,
reflection is known to be of benefit in experiential learning and develops critical thinking
competencies. It provides the combination among theory as well as, practices (Bornman and
Louw, 2019).
Reflection entails addressing attainment within a condition for looking forward. It may heighten
the self-awareness and permits the practitioners for seeing things in a comprehensible way as
well as, permits the best decision. It also facilitates the useful emphasize because it makes
competent one for exploring the influences that guide as well as, shaping the practices of
individuals. Reflection also makes competent the learning and within professional practices, it

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 8
permits the practitioners for depicting their progression for attaining learning results and
essential standards (Macià and García, 2016).
Task 1 (b) summative reflection
Why learning through reflection is important and what values could it bring to your
professional development?
Learning through reflection is significant for enhancing personal development by leading to the
self-awareness. When emphasize of reflection is an enhancement in patient care then it could be
supportive for developing and expanding the understanding and competencies. The procedure
may slow the activity providing time for processing the material of learning as well as, relation
to past ideas (Cruess, et. al., 2019).
This learning through reflection is valuable in professional development in terms of transforming
experience into the authentic learning regarding individual goals and values as well as, about the
larger social concerns. Reflection challenges the scholars for connecting the service practices for
course objectives as well as, creating a higher extent of thinking with solving the problem
(Dawson, 2018). In addition to this, reflection is required to perform against the perpetuation of
stereotypes by increasing the awareness of scholars of social structures that are surrounding to
service atmospheres. By enhancing the sense of relations to society as well as, deeper awareness
regarding needs of the community, reflection gains the likelihood that scholars would remain
engaged to facilities beyond the terms of course (Meijer, et. al., 2017).
Which reflective model have you chosen and why?
Gibbs reflective model has selected for reflection. Since, it motivates an individual for thinking
methodologically regarding the experience they have had at the time of particular condition,
activity, and events. In addition to this, Gibbs reflective cycle could be implemented for

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 9
supporting an individual from experience. Furthermore, experiences have shaped an individual.
But, to grow as an individual experience alone is not enough. An individual needs for reflecting
the significant experiences to develop rules, principle, theories, which would make me better at a
job (McMillan, et. al., 2016).
Applying the relevant reflective model, what are the three main aspects you learned from
the PPDI?
Gibbs reflective model is used for improving the learning through experience. There are three
aspects that I learned through PPDI such as time management, communication competencies as
well as, dealing complex situations with the management of conflicts (Cruess, et. al., 2016).
Learning through the module is discussed by using the given Gibbs reflective cycle:
Description
Gibbs reflective model is used for improving the competencies and skills through the module.
This reflective model presents the learning and experiences increased through 10 weeks.
Feelings
Throughout the module, I have enhanced my learning regarding emotional intelligence. In this
way, I felt that knowing as well as, managing emotions of an individual, recognizing emotions in
others, as well as, handling associations. From the week 1 module, I have increased my
understanding regarding the Dewey’s 5 Stage Model. In this way, I have observed that reflective
thought starts with the experiences that develop through dilemmas and difficulties (Van Waes,
et. al., 2016). I have also enhanced my experience regarding Argyris & Schön Reflective Theory
Model. In such a way, it is addressed that professional growth occurs while an individual doubt
on our actions. This model emphasizes on thinking ahead, analyzing, experiencing as well as,
critically responding (Davis, 2015).

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 10
During EVRE tutorial class 1, I learned to be open as well as, accept transformations together
with, new things as a learning experience (See: Appendix 1). From attending week 2 module, I
have increased my learning regarding Gibbs reflective cycle. In such a way, it is identified that
the Gibbs model acknowledges that feelings impact on the situation and develops by
categorizing the reflection into the evaluation of events. It is also identified that Gibbs reflective
cycle can outcome in superficial thinking because it does not refer to critical thinking or
reflection or analysis (Gregersenand MacIntyre, 2017).
Throughout EVRE tutorial class 3, I was involved in the time management practices that I had
enjoyed highly. In this period, I have learned that planning as well as, being realistic will be
supportive for me in the procedure of performing an allocated task (See: Appendix 2).
Throughout the week 4 module, I have created my understanding of Kolb’s learning cycle. In
such a way, I have learned that effective learning is said to have created while an individual
passes via all four phases. I have increased my understanding regarding it is possible for
penetrating at any phase however it should follow via in sequences. In addition to this, I have
enhanced my learning that each phase is supportive and feed into subsequent phases (Girvan, et.
al., 2016).
From week 5 module, I have increased my learning that there are different aspects of personal
and professional development plan such as SOAR assessment, developing goals as well as,
personal objectives (Markham, et. al., 2017).
During the EVRE tutorial class 5, I was involved in the conflict resolution activity. In this way, I
have conducted a test as well as, scored higher in forcing and due to which, I put forces on the
group. I have also increased my understanding regarding every scholar has a scenario in mind

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 11
that we all contributed and gave illustration regarding how this specific method of resolving
conflict may be a solution (Shuler and Keller-Dupree, 2015).
Evaluation
From week 7 module, it is evaluated that Brookfield addressed the critical reflection. There are
different phases of critical reflection such as identifying the assumption, which underlie actions
and thoughts. I have also learned that scrutinizing as well as, assessing the validity of these
assumptions with respect to how they relate to real-life experiences as well as present context. I
have also increased my knowledge that transforming these assumptions are becoming more
integrative and inclusive as well as, practicing this newly developed understanding to more
feasibly inform the potential practices as well as, actions (Driessen, and van Tartwijk, 2018).
At the time of EVRE 8, I have developed my understanding regarding Kubler-Russ Grief Cycle
that defines how I felt the day before as well as, now thinking back, I recognize that there is less
aspect to blame others together with, feeling down, stressing myself over something I cannot my
own self put right.
During the tenure of EVRE 9, I have initiated to discussing the closing down GSM London as
well as, school-going into management. I have also learned to remain calm while things do not
go in my way as well as, asking the questions directly to an individual entails in that situation
while I am confused as compared to listening to side discussions (See: Appendix 8). From week
10 module, I have enhanced my learning regarding bloom’s taxonomy. In this way, I have
learned that there are different surface in this model such as create, evaluate, analyze, apply,
understand as well as, remember (Chretien, et. al., 2015).
Conclusions

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 12
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that GSM London is going to stop in a few days
due to declining profits. It can be summarised that there are different competencies and skills that
I have learned through modules such as emotional intelligence and personality. It can be
concluded that there are different reflective models that are used for increasing learning through
reflection such as Gibbs reflective model, and Kolb’s learning cycle. I have also enhanced my
learning regarding the SOAR assessment that aids to increase my strengths and grabbing the
opportunities.
Action
From the conclusion, I have learned that there are some weaknesses that need to make
improvements such as time management and conflict resolution. For managing the time, I would
focus on some activities such as start my day with a clear focus, minimize interruptions, limit
multitasking, focus on high-value activities, stop procrastinating, have a dynamic list of task, and
review my day. In order to resolve the conflict, I will emphasize on some activities. These are
avoiding, defeating, accommodating, compromising, as well as, collaborating (Markham, et. al.,
2017).
Does this differ from your previous knowledge of these areas?
This learning differs through previous knowledge of these areas. I have a lack of understanding
regarding the reflection but after attending the session, I have learned that reflection is not a
sequences about the ideas as compared to consequences where, consecutive ordering of mind is
taking place in such a manner that each evaluates the next as its adequate results whereas each
result, in turn, leans on and refers for its antecedent (Girvan, et. al., 2016).
Do you see any value in the knowledge gained when applying a particular reflective model
and why?

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 13
I see value in knowledge gained while applying Gibbs reflective model as it is beneficial for
understanding the different aspects through reflection. It also aids to improve the skills and
competencies about business management (Davis, 2015).
How will this new knowledge change your practice?
This new knowledge has changed my practice for performing particular tasks. Through this, I am
able to do an effective task in a significant manner. It has made an improvement in my
professional skills as I am able to perform any practices in a professional manner (Davis, 2015).
Task 2 - Career and personal development plan
From a personal analysis, it is evaluated that my strengths are my experience, background, as
well as, my physical, mental along with, emotional competencies. These strengths provide
opportunities for marketing in every sector. It also facilitates the funding opportunities that I am
looking to pursue such as continuing to teach fitness in case, I do not address a permanent
marketing position (Cruess, et. al., 2016).
I also aspire to have a permanent career that I am passionate about. I would be in a permanent
marketing position in different regions of the nation. I would make distinguishes in the lives of
an individual by being passionate about what I perform and creating it infectious. I want to
support transformation in the lives of an individual by being a positive impact.
I have developed short, medium and long-term SMART goals. My short-term goal is to learn
public speaking and making improvement in it. I would also attend the training within an
organization. I would measure my success by focusing on my ability to speak confidentiality
within the front of the crowd. My medium-term goal is to become more encouraged to
accomplish good grades in my course. I would also measure my success by assessing my overall
grades in course would have improved completed work with the high standard. My long term

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 14
goal is to get a good job position and situated in the top position. I would also work harder and
enhance competencies. My long-term goal is to get promotion to the assistant manager
(McMillan, et. al., 2016).
During EVRE week 5, I got feedback with my tutor that I was entailed in conflict resolution. I
have conducted the test and I scored higher to force and I was, therefore, put the forces like a
group. Every scholar had a scenario in mind that I all shared and provided the illustration
regarding how this particular way to resolve the conflict might be a resolution. I also focus on the
scenario of being a cab driver in which, my consumer may not wish to put their seat belt when
sitting at the side of the driver. I also illustrated how this attitude of dealing with conflict may be
supportive as to compromise with the law as a professional driver that I presented to the class
(Meijer, et. al., 2017).
During the tenure of week 3, my peer gave me feedback that I have time management skills that
I enjoyed highly. My peer gave me feedback that I am able to pick some task through the paper
that was allocated as well as, able to picking those tasks that I can perform in specific time
duration (See: Appendix 2). My team picked many tasks as we can at this phase. At the time of
Week 1, my peer gave me feedback that I get confused and disoriented at the time and cannot
make logic of anything regarding required work that is not the case in precedent semesters
(Bornman, and Louw, 2019).
During week 9, my peer gave me feedback that I have good listening skills because my tutor
encourages the student to not give up now as well as, I was encouraged and empowered to really
do my best. I also appreciate the fact he offered to give us feedback about assignment and reports
before submitting to the portal. At the time of EVRE week 8, my peer gave me feedback that I
was depressed at the closing tome of lovely GSM and it has a negative impact on my work. I

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 15
want to present my draft of PDP to each other as requested through lecturer and tutor in class. It
cannot take place because of sad as well as, the shocking experience we all had as scholars the
day before (Gregersen and MacIntyre, 2017).
During EVRE week 10, my peer gave me feedback that I feel happy to share my own experience
and listening to others. I also hear the good and bad experience of everyone. They suggest that
every individual might see differently and approach in a distinct way (See: Appendix 9). My
peer suggests me that some individuals dislike the transformations and sometimes address it
complex to deal. At the time of week 6, my peer gave feedback to me how I should make a
report and proposal. From attending the class, I have learned to make a video presentation as it is
an effective tool for making communication (Girvan, et. al., 2016).
During teaching week 7, my peer suggests that I have the ability to discuss with my tutor about
planning. But sometimes, I have suffered bad and unprofessional experience. I did not give time
for watching video likewise on the specific scene such as ways for creating elevator pitch videos
(See: Appendix 6). During EVRE week 4, my peer gave me feedback that I always show that I
did not prepare a presentation in an effective manner. The other concern is that I have a lack of
awareness about the presentation and tasks. I have a lack of understanding regarding the project
(Shuler, and Keller-Dupree, 2015).

Experience
Use the following questions to help: Look back and recall an
incident/experience; What happened? Describe the experience. What was
important? Who was involved? Where did it happen?
The lecturer introduces the Module of PPDI to us as students during the
lecture, and also went through the scheme of work and what is required.
Reflection
Use the following questions to help: What were you thinking during the
incident? What were your feelings? What was good about the experience?
What was bad about the experience? Why did the incident take place? Was it a
positive or negative incident? If negative, could it have been prevented?
I felt confused and disorientated at the time and could not make sense of
anything about the work required, which was not the case in the past semesters.
Although the good thing is that I knew from the start that the Project required
me to work in a group with different personality and also learn from each
other, another worrying part was that I was beginning to think who would they
be and how well would the perform and be reliable as I would have loved it to
be for us to perform excellently in delivering this project.
Learning

experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have

I learn to be open and accept changes and new things as a learning experience.
Also to me to start thinking of my strengths and weakness and how to
accommodate others. I also knew that I will have to learn to be a team player.

During PPDI Tutorial this week we did TIME MANAGEMENT
ACTIVITYwhich I enjoyed very much. Our group company as REKEMAK
GROUP LIMITED against other groups in the class. We had to pick some
tasks from the paper we were given by the lecturer and pick the tasks that we
would be able to complete in a given time. I and my team picked as many as
we could at this point.

positive or negative incident? If negative, could it have been prevented?
I taught it was alright to pick as many tasks as possible and was focusing more
at the points we would have made as a result of picking as many as possible
because I wanted my team to come up first. In the end, we came up second in
the list because we took one task that we could not give an explanation to
within the time limit that we scheduled and therefore penalized 60% of the
mark we were supposed to have earned. One of the teams in the class took only
one task and came up 3rd after my team, of which reflecting at the time I taught
we could have just taken 2 tasks and get it done which would have seen us first
in the race

Use the following questions to help: What have you learned from the
experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have
done differently? Do you need to change your behavior? If it arose again what
would you do? How do you plan to change your behavior?
I learn that planning and being realistic would help me in the process of getting
a job done. I also realized that failing a key task can be fatal to any project,
also having attention to details is key to excel in any given task. I also learn to
always take into consideration my ability and the ability of my team when
taken on a job and avoid wanting to get more and overstretch myself which
may result into me going outside the agreement or the budget, which can be a

downfall for any group or company or even self person.

This week during the tutorial we had a visit from Marian who is the supervisor
of Benjamin our tutor to THE BOARD ROOM PROJECT
PRESENTATION. During this activity, we were required to present the
Monet holiday park project and showing our understanding of the project to
likewise the client and explain how far we are in this project also try to
showcase our expertise as a company and group students to the success of the
Monet holiday park

incident? What were your feelings? What was good about the experience?
What was bad about the experience? Why did the incident take place? Was it a

I felt during this presentation that I did not prepare well for this and did not

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 26
actually understand what this was all about. The other issues I had is that the
tasks and presentation were not very clear to me, because it felt at times that
we were all one group in this scenario and at other time I felt as if each group
has to showcase their understanding of the project. Although the Tutor was
there to give us direction and reinforce our confidence by asking us questions
and allowing each individual to express their knowledge. I feel like it would
have been better to give each group a slot time of 5-10 minutes each and then
discussed the questions and the project generally together afterward.
Learning
Use the following questions to help: What have you learned from the
experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have
done differently? Do you need to change your behavior? If it arose again what
would you do? How do you plan to change your behavior?
I think next time I would do research on what a board room project
presentation means, and perhaps watch a video on YouTube about it and come
prepare red. I would also prepare an elevator pitch for this and be as
professional as possible. I also learned that I could have sent an email to the
lecturer in advance to emphasis what he really want me us to prepare for a
group or as an individual and seek advice in advance.

Experience
Use the following questions to help: Look back and recall an
incident/experience; What happened? Describe the experience. What was
important? Who was involved? Where did it happen?
This week during the EVRE tutorial class, we were involved in CONFLICT
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY. We took the test and I scored higher in Forcing
and I was therefore put with the forcing like a group. Every student had a
scenario in mind which we all shared and gave an example of how this
particular way of resolving conflict might be the solution. I also came up with
the scenario of being a cab driver where my customer might not want to put
their seat belt on while sitting at the driver side. I explained how this behavior
of dealing with conflict might help to compromise with the law as a
professional driver, which I presented to the class.

incident? What were your feelings? What was good about the experience?
What was bad about the experience? Why did the incident take place? Was it a

I feel like dealing with conflict in this situation was appropriate, although
Reflecting on this again I could have used another method to approach this
situation and explain to the passenger in a very much better way rather than

forcing.
Learning
Use the following questions to help: What have you learned from the
experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have
done differently? Do you need to change your behavior? If it arose again what
would you do? How do you plan to change your behavior?
I learned through this activity that there’s always a better way to get my point
across without necessarily come across as patronizing or forcing my way on
others, or to do what is right. I also realized that I can be assertive in this kind
of situation by having an adult to the adult discussion in resolving conflict.

During this week Tutorial class. The tutor explained to us how an individual
report should look like and show us samples as he had already explained how
project proposal should look like. We also decided as a class with the lecturer
when we want to do our video presentation, which we agree on the next
coming week as (Teaching-week7). Soon after this, we had a meeting and there

maybe change leader that I should take over the team due to the fact that we
are running out of time and need a decision to be made at present.

incident? What were your feelings? What was good about the experience?
What was bad about the experience? Why did the incident take place? Was it a
positive or negative incident? If negative, could it have been prevented?
I felt that my presence and hard work was appreciated by the team and the fact
the rest of the groupthink that I should take the lead was a good feeling to me.
Although I explained to them that I would try and get in contact with the
leader, as we do not know he is not present and maybe he did not have chance
to inform us through our group platform for reasons. I encouraged everyone to
stay calm and to trust each other, and also offered that I would prepare a plan b
for the group on how we are going to do our presentation in case our first plan
fails with the leader of the group. Thinking through all this at the time during
the meeting I felt like it was a good approach for me to reassure everybody and
also to be supportive of one another as a team. I also encouraged all member to
use our WhatsApp platform to engage and participate in decision making in
case of an unforeseen incident which made me feel reassured that we are still a
team and can all work together.

Use the following questions to help: What have you learned from the
experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have

would you do? How do you plan to change your behavior?
I learn from the situation to always have a plan to be when planning a project.
Also to have an agreed method with others as a work colleague to deal with the
unforeseen situation. Also, make it a ground rule that my team or work
colleague has a route of informing others of their absence. I also learn to find
ways in reassuring my team and have a reliable record so that when I am
absent at work or in a team, there is no panic as my team would be able to trust
me.

It was really good that we had a rehearsal in front of the tutor and for us to
have been allowed to share our plan first with the lecturer; it would have been
really bad and unprofessional. Again I did not take time to watch a video
likewise on this particular scene like a hoe to make an elevator pitch video. I
also taught it would have been perfect to have done one before the day and
shown it to colleagues at work and then try to research for more ideas on
YouTube.

Use the following questions to help: What have you learned from the
experience? What sense can you make of the situation? What could you have

I learn to accept feedback either good or bad and work on my planning skills in
terms of doing researches in advance and getting resources that will allow me
to have every opportunity to perform well in any given tasks. Also, this taught
me to try my ideas and share them with others first and fully prepared and

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 32
work on my time management skills. I would also make one or two similar
tasks and present it to other professionals like college, friends and double-
check online and on YouTube to find the best way possible to deliver
excellence in a project and do my best. In short, allow more time for planning
and evaluate my actions and tasks first before attempting to present them
officially.

During this EVRE tutorial class, We discussed the Closing down of this
Lovely GSM and the impact of the very sad news for students. We also wanted
to present our draft of the PDP to each other as requested by the Lecturer and
the Tutor in class, although this could not take place due to the sad and
shocking experience we all had as students the day before. The Tutor also
discuss The Kubler-Ross Grief Cycle

I could still not believe this was happening even being in the class and
discussing with others and taught there will always be a way to rise again with
GSM. I felt extremely sad to see GSM going down and at my time in this
dynamic high institution. Although when the Tutor described The Kubler-Russ
Grief Cycle which actually described how I felt at the time the day before, and
now thinking back I feel like there is less point in blaming others and feeling
down, stressing myself over something I cannot my own self fix. I also feel
now that the executives and owners of our beautiful GSM would have surely
done everything to save this happening to GSM London.

I learn that in this situation, the continuity of hard work is needed and it’s not
the time fold my hands. I also learn to accept things as they occur and that
sometimes the impossibility can happen and that when that happens, I would
tighten my belt and carry on with hard work to achieve my goal.

This week’s Tutorial class was more of reassurance and support from the
Tutor. Even though I have seen empty classes in the past at GSM LONDON.
This week tutorial class felt very different sad. It was only one person in the
class at the start of the lecture and then me. We started discussing the closing
down of GSM LONDON and the school going into administration. We left the
class after a while and then met other students in the corridor of the school who
told us that the lecturer was on his way to the class. I then went back to class,
and here is the Lecturer encouraging us as a student to not give up and do
everything we can to maximize our marks and come out with an excellent
result.

I felt really good listening to Benjamin our Tutor for his reassurance and
encouragement to students not to give up now, and I was empowered and

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 35
encouraged to really do my best. I also appreciate the fact that he offered to
give us feedback on our assignment and reports before we submit to the portal.
I also feel like the school and staffs were ready to support me through this
difficult time.

I learn to remain calm when things do not go my way and ask a question
directly to the person involved in that situation when I am confused rather than
listening to side talks. I would also summon courage from and discuss
alternative and best ways to tackle unexpected occurrence, rather than keeping
a low profile I am down.

Thinking about the general discussion in the class and every student's input. I
felt happy sharing my own experience and listening to others. Also hearing the
good and the bad experience from everyone made feel like we are different and
everyone might see things differently and approach this in a different way. I
also feel like some people dislike changes and sometimes find it difficult to
handle. The GSM ending situation is frustrating and as we are a diverse
community and in this school people reaction to this ins normal to be different.

EVALUATION AND REFLECTION 37
I learn to remain assertive and fully focused until the end in a difficult
situation. Also, I believe the most important thing is how you overcome a
terrible situation. I would always strive to get the best grade at the start of my
journeys either in school or work rather than waiting for the last moment and
also have a mindset of preparing for the worst-case scenario when pursuing a
dream.
