REFLECTIVE PAPER 3
Introduction
The eleven weeks o f study have been not only informative but also mind opening. I have
gained both knowledge and experience in both academic and social life that will way in helping
me find solutions to problems and also view challenges in more than one dimension. The
workshops, presentations and activities that we carried out during the eleven weeks were tailored
to proved relevant lessons that will help me to solve not only academic problems but also life
challenges. This report gives a detailed analysis of all the lessons learned during the eleven
weeks of study.
Critical self Analysis
The week one, two and three experiences were mind challenging and also eye opening.
After the workshop, I learned to look at issues in a multi-dimensional perspective. Through the
workshop I am able to constrictively generate ideas and elaborate of the conception frame work
in which the idea can work and predict the expected outcomes if the idea if it is implemented.
The knowledge will be important not only in my future career but also in providing solutions to
the society as a whole (ElKhouly, Sedafy & Yehia, 2017). The ideas that I will generate will not
rely on imagination but on a possible conceptual frame work.
The fourth week lessons challenged me to be a problem solver ruther than just
somebody who identifies problems. In this way, I am able to be more productive in my
profession and in the society. a connection of the lessons of the first three weeks and the fourth
week describes a sober society. A society was ideas are generated constructively to solve
problems using multi-dimensional approach. The lessons challenged me to look for solutions to
problems and not just focus on the problem.

REFLECTIVE PAPER 4
while in most cases, different people may have different ways of solving the same problem, it
calls for critical thinking in finding the adequate solution for the problem. This lesson helped me
build on my problem solving skills that I developed right from week one. While the previous
weeks emphasized on structural generation of ideas and learning to be a problem solve, this
lesson introduced to me the concept of critical thinking in problem solving. Critical problem
solving requires multidimensional approach which I was taught in the previous week
(Rosenfield, Newell, Zwolski, & Benishek, 2018). The society today does not just need solutions
to the problems but need working solutions. In order to come up with working solutions, it is
important to critically think through the possible solutions as well as the ethical considerations of
the possible solutions before you get to action. The lesson changed my view as initially I did not
look at critical thinking as part of the finding solutions to problems. in my view, if one had a
solution for a problem then they should act immediately without wasting any time. However, this
lesson informed me of the need for critically thinking through the possible solutions first.
From lesson six, I learned that the basics of coming up with ideas still applies in the
field of business. While it is requirement to develop structured ideas before thinking of
implementation, customers might have so many views on the changes that should be made on a
prototype. However, it is important to develop a plan for the proposals from the customers in
order to avoid implementing random opinions from the customers. The ideas implemented must
be properly analyzed and tested on the prototype before they are included in the final product( ).
Even in business, we still need critical thinking skill. It is through critical thinking that one id
able to amylase the proposals forwarded by the customers to select only the once that will
adequately fit the product.
