Reflection On Criticism

I remember the day that critically shaped the person I am today,it started when I was in TH grade. I thought going to school was easy,but it wasn't as the adults think it was, because once I step into that middle school building, I felt the nervous,anxiety rush in my veins. I felt like I was in some kind of place that could eat me out alive, it's like that " first day of school" kind of feeling. My mother who was with me did not expect a thing, she thinks I was alright, but I wasn't. I walked into the main office asking for my schedule and then the lady in the front desk nods her head and ask me for my name. I told her my name and she printed out the schedule and gave it to me. I hugged my mother and walked to my first class. I reached to

The problem this imposed was manual recording was tedious and stressful for staff and introduced errors in the Freight Operations Systems database causing delays in tracking processes; cost also being a huge downfall.

"Before you can proceed-you first have to identify what's stopping you from becoming a better Critical Thinker" (Ridel, 2015). The two Internal Barriers that influence my critical thinking skills are Emotions and Stubbornness.

Within teaching practice it is important to be aware of the underlying influences that inform your personal pedagogy. This includes an understanding of pedagogical theories, personal values, beliefs and past experiences that is brought into the teaching environment. In order to achieve this, one must practice critical analysis of everyday situations encountered within the classroom, to understand whether or not your teaching practice is effective and why this is the case. In order to work towards an understanding of the influences on my future practice, I will analyse a critical incident where a student was asked to fill out a quiz to grade herself on particular personal and classroom

Was I receptive to the feedback? I was receptive to the feedback. I know that I can get defensive and try and justify who I am and what I do ether internally or externally but I tried to be open to whatever was said to try to improve myself. I think a key reason to being more receptive was having to give feedback to others and hoping not to hurt them which reinforced that they were not trying to hurt.

So far, I have nearly completed my first sub question and am writing the references and bibliography of it. Moreover, I have finished my source evaluation template for my question, which has helped me to know how effective my research sources are and how they had helped me to know more about my question. As my first sub question requires a lot of depth I think I will require more time on answering it. For now, to be honest, my management plan is not as effective as I thought as I am still stuck in my first sub question, which I was supposed to do 1 week earlier according to my management plan. I think I am using my time wisely as I continue to do research on my topic whenever I get time. But to complete my work in time, I will have to utilize

I like criticism because it makes what I do better. My own writing can be improved from receiving feedback by focusing on what made my essay have so many mistakes. When I saw the feedback on my journal 1 I didn't like the feedback. I know now what I have to do to make my paper flawless. To improve my writing is using the writing center and asking questions from my third party.

"Don't judge a book by its cover". Many of us must have heard this saying, but only a few understand its true meaning. In fact, Judgment is not simply a random process but it is a more complex procedure revolving mainly around critical thinking. Critical thinking is all about asking questions that help to assess meaning or the significance of claims and arguments. Building these skills and applying them in a life makes it easy to assess evidence, evaluate arguments and stimulate intelligent thinking. Consequently, the person will stay activated and engaged in different situations. Critical thinking involves stepping back from the situation to take a view of all the angles before making any judgment or taking decisions.

I have learned that I do take criticism well and that I can make changes where they need to be. One of the activities towards the end of the semester was the Lego building team exercise and one person can individual critics at the end. Josh was absolutely right when he said that I wait for orders from others. Even though I will do absolutely

“Anyone can turn his weaknesses into strengths”, I was reading the book David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell, and the book was about a battle between David, the underdog, and Goliath, the giant, and it explains how David defeated a giant by using his unconventional strategies. It also talks about how some underdogs can overcome their weaknesses; in addition, it also explains how power comes in different forms. Malcolm Gladwell proved his arguments by providing some real-life experiences of different underdogs. According to Gladwell, an underdog is a person who is underestimated by everyone to perform any task successfully. Malcolm Gladwell also explains many other terms to prove his argument. I have experiences in my student life where I felt like an underdog. I felt disempowered because of my weaknesses. I still remember the first day of my English 838 class at College of San Mateo, and I felt so unconfident in the classroom because I was not a native speaker. There were also moments in my college classes where I felt empowered because of my strengths; for example, I felt empowered in my Math-120 and pre-calculus class because I already knew the concepts of these classes. I had a lot of moments in my life where I felt empowered and disempowered as a student, but learning from those moments helped me to succeed in my college classes.

During the study of this module, textbook readings were commonly read throughout the class sessions, and the topics in the book were frequently raised again during class discussions. The readings and discussions have helped me to gain an insight on the difficulties families with children with special needs are currently facing, and what can be done to aid their situations. Before embarking on this module, I never knew there was such a large number of children who required special needs, as well as the large number of them who were not getting the proper treatment and care needed. Through the readings provided, I learnt further on how much work was required to provide adequate care and attention to

As a Critical Thinker I believe I have the greatest successes in clear thinking and rationally about what to accomplish and what to believe, I can tell when someone is trying to convince another person or myself to perform a bad idea and approaching problems in a consistent and systematic manner. I can also reflect on the justification of their own assumptions, beliefs and values. Although I would like to improve on my weaknesses, they are the ability to think clearly, understand the links and logical connections between ideas, determine the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas as well as recognize to build and appraise arguments and the last one, identifying inconsistencies and errors in reasoning. The ideas that I like to improve

Offering negative feedback can be a positive experience if done in a nonjudgmental way with sincere care and concern. Word choices are important. Telling anyone, for instance, that they are bad will not result in better behavior. Focus must be on the behavior and not the person. Suggestions should only be offered if something can be changed. There is no reason to be critical of something over which a person has no control. When accepting feedback from others, it is best to avoid being defensive and to listen. It helps to get specific information regarding the criticism and take time to digest everything before reacting.

I've always believed that writing is subjective and that made me immune to criticism. I felt if one person liked my writing and another didn't, than who could truly judge without

I prefer to keep my judgments to myself since I do not want to hurt other peoples' feelings. Although, I'm aware the effects of not providing constructive criticism when needed. The person with the correctable errors could get in trouble and cause trouble for other people, and myself.
