PPMP20008: Lessons Learnt Presentation on Course Experience

This presentation provides a comprehensive reflection on lessons learnt during the PPMP20008 course. It outlines the initial plans for gathering and documenting lessons, comparing them with what actually transpired. The reflection covers issues like the absence of a structured process and a lessons learnt library. Two specific lessons are analyzed: the first involving a lack of preparation leading to frustration, and the second highlighting the power of determination in understanding difficult concepts. Improvement strategies are proposed for each lesson, focusing on resource organization and utilization. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the contrasting experiences and the importance of learning from both positive and negative situations, supported by relevant academic references.

Introduction
To review on the lessons I learnt in both lesson 1 and 2, I
prepared a presentation covering my plans, experiences,
learnt lessons, improvement strategies and test of the
strategies.
Some processes went on as planned. However, I
had to make a few changes where need was to ensure
continuity in identifying lessons learnt.

When I planned to
identify and collect

Who I planned to
involve in the
process of
gathering lessons
How I planned to
document lessons
I planned to identify
and collect lesson
learnt at the end of
the course project.
I planned to involve
some of my course
mates and a few
former students of
this course.
I planned to record
the lessons learnt in
my course book as
well as in my
personal computer.
Some information
was also to be stored
on my email.

Who I involved in the

How I documented
lessons
I identified and collected
lessons learnt at the
exact time I had planned
to; at the end of the
course.
I had planned to involve
some of my course
mates and a few former
students of the course.
However, I only involved
my course mates as their
availability was
guaranteed.
I recorded the lessons in
my course book, my
personal computer and
also my email account
for full security.

No Lessons Learnt
Process
No Lessons Learnt
Library
When I reflect on my actual lessons
learnt process and the common issue of
having no structure or process to
identify, capture and share lessons, I
think it should not be the same way in
future lessons. I highly prefer having a
clear structure of the process I can use
in future.
When I reflect on my actual lessons
learnt process and the common issue of
having no library I feel it is good to have
a well-laid store of previous lessons from
where I can retrieve them easily.
Reflections on my actual lessons learnt process
and the common issues of:

Lesson 1
Situation The situation made me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
I went to class without
reviewing my previous
class notes. I could not
remember what I had
learnt and the connection
it had with the current
lesson.
The situation made me
feel like a failure since I
could not grasp anything.
I felt like a total stranger
during the lesson. I was
so frustrated.
From my reflection on
the situation, I learnt that
it is always prudent to
revise my previous class
notes before attending
another class, so as to
create continuity of
learning in my mind and
to also understand the
content better.

Improvement strategy for lesson 1
Improvement
strategy
How to
measure if
the strategy
works
Why the
strategy is
achievable
Relevance of
strategy to
address the
lesson
When the
strategy will
be
implemented
The specific
improvement
strategy is to
plan ahead
and organize
all my library
resources to
ensure easier
collection of
lessons
learnt.
I would know
the strategy
was working
as I could
remember my
previous class
lessons and I
could also
connect them
with my
current
lesson.
This strategy
is achievable
for me
because it is
very easy to
plan and
organize a
store of
previous
lessons and
library
resources for
reviewing.
This strategy
is relevant to
lesson 1 as it
will address
the issue of
misunderstan
ding lessons
or failure to
connect
several
lessons
together.
I will
implement
this strategy
by June 7,
2018. This will
give me 2
weeks to
prepare.

Lesson 2
Situation The situation made me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
In lesson 2, I realized
that I could understand
the content better than I
could in the first lesson.
The situation made me
feel so confident and
happy.
From reflecting on this
situation, I learnt that
through determination, I
can still understand a
concept however difficult
my perception may be
towards it.

Improvement strategy for lesson 2
Improvement
strategy
How to
measure if

Why the
strategy is
achievable
Relevance of
strategy to
address the
lesson
When the
strategy will
be
implemented
The specific
improvement
strategy is to
make use of
the available
resources that
relate to the
course
content.
I would know
the strategy
was working
as I could
gauge my
level of
understanding
and grasping
concepts in
class.
This strategy
is achievable
for me
because all I
need to do is
to make use
of the
available
materials
available for
the course.
This strategy
is relevant to
lesson 2 as it
will increase
the level of
understanding
and grasping
of difficult
concepts in all
lessons.
I will
implement
this strategy
as soon as we
start the next
lesson. I will
also apply it in
my other
courses.

Conclusion
• In conclusion, the two lessons gave me different
experiences in terms of understanding concepts
and ensuring continuity of the lessons in my
mind. The first lesson gave me a bad experience
as I found myself in a frustrating situation. The
second experience made me smile and have
confidence in myself.
