1. Reflect\u00a0back\u00a0on the project and how it relates to the topics of self-regulation and active listening, using the prompts below. You\u00a0can choose to write the reflection (1-2\u00a0paragraphs) or record it as video\/audio (1-3\u00a0minutes).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAns: The project wasn’t a challenge to me mentally however it wasn’t definitely a walk in the park with the amount of hurdles I faced. The setup of the circuit with the light was difficult for me to put together. I had a really hard time just lighting up the LED alone separating it from the other one. It was also a little bit time consuming as well to check each of the light strand and check one by one to see which one works, what was going wrong in one of them and how to fix that. In a way I did apply self regulated learning here as I failed with the first light strand but afterwards I tried to fix it. When it was fixed for the first light strand, I applied the same process by rectifying my mistake from the first one so that the next two strand placement goes well. So overall the time and patience that this project test me was a lot for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So there were more ways I could be strategic about it but I really wasn’t which is bad for me. I could have more strategic in terms of laying out the light strand in the paper. I made the mistake of laying out one strand on the paper by leaving no space for the rest and strapping it tightly as well to the paper which was a mistake. I should have checked all three strand, test them with the coin battery and then lay them out in the paper. But the way I executed the CPX background and worked my way into making the project work was good. Because of the way I was frustrated on why my light strand wasn’t initially working, I did approach a TA as well and her words of encouragement affirmed me that I can possibly accomplish this on my own and I did it!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.Challenge yourself to step back and think about any parallels you can draw to your learning journey at large, using\u00a0the prompts below.\u00a0You\u00a0can choose a written format\u00a0(2-4 paragraphs) or recorded video\/audio (2-5 minutes).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n1.When you have encounter a large or challenging task,\u00a0how can you be strategic?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI break the task into smaller, manageable steps and prioritize them based on impact and urgency. I set specific goals and create a timeline, allowing me to stay focused while making steady progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. What resources are available to you that can help in formulating a plan?<\/strong>
I leverage online tools, mentors, and peer feedback. Access to learning platforms, community forums, and my college\u2019s career services provide valuable insights and guidance in structuring an effective plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. How will you execute your plan? When and where do you expect to do this?<\/strong>
I\u2019ll follow a structured timeline, dedicating focused hours in a quiet study space. By setting clear deadlines and checking in with my progress weekly, I can maintain momentum and stay accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. How will you evaluate if your plan is working? How can active listening play a role in your evaluation step?<\/strong>
I\u2019ll track progress using milestones and gather feedback from mentors and peers. Active listening will help me understand their perspectives and adjust my approach, ensuring I\u2019m on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. How will you revise your plan?<\/strong>
I will assess what worked and what didn\u2019t based on feedback and outcomes. I\u2019ll make adjustments, refine my strategy, and implement new methods as needed to ensure better alignment with my goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
