393 reflection after learning strategies presentations

• To be completely honest, I thought that we were not doing a reflection for this month so I didn’t write any notes for myself during class.

• This made it much harder for me to reflect back upon my thoughts during the presentations

• I was also feeling nervous about my presentation which affected my ability to focus.

  • kind of regretting the lack of effort I put in listening to my peer’s presentation. Despite already knowing a few things they mentioned during the presentations. I’m also sure that hey would have liked it if I was listening to them just as bad as I wanted them to listen to me.
    • But to be fair, I put some effort into making my presentation more engaging and collaborative while the other teams (except one) didn’t do anything about it. But at the same time I do have some experience performing on stage (Improv) which is not something that everyone does so I cannot expect them to be able to do something similar as I did

• also, one other thing that was demotivating me from listening is the fact that I’m a doer not a learner. My ultimate goal is not to be smart or intelligent. It is to be wise. Some learning strategies focus solely on learning (while sometimes it is definitely useful and important to learn, I believe that us computer science students should focus more on applying what we’ve learned which is in some way one of the learning strategies that was mentioned in class).

• For the coming weeks I will give the attention that each presenter in our class deserves
