Lesson 1
Situation What I learnt from reflecting on the
situation
I had consistently failed my tests in
project management course. While I
attended most of the unit lessons and
read all my notes on class work, I
continued to fail in most of the
assessment tests. This situation made
me to lose my studying morale and I
even started to skip lessons since I did
not see the need of attending all my
classes and still fail my tests. The
situation had escalated so much that
my overall grade in project
management was affected. I feared
that I would disappoint the people who
are looking up to me when I fail in this
course. The situation had put me down
and had me think about what I can do
to save myself from the situation.
Normally, I consider myself a technical
When I reflected on the situation, I
learned that this course requires
strong team work and collaboration of
many group members to attain
success. Just like it is not possible to
effectively carry out the job of project
management individually and achieve
success, it is also not possible to
depend on individual knowledge in this
course and get it right. Initially, I only
concentrated on personal studies and
did not focus on group discussions.
Now after knowing the importance of
group discussions and team work, I
believe that I will find it easy to discuss
with my classmates about different
topics in this course and to consult
both students and my tutor whenever
necessary. This together with personal
effort will see me improve my grades.
