Assessment and critical reflection

In my degree program, I managed to acquire sufficient knowledge, skills and values for different subjects and disciplines. While I was a student, I would perform various assignments that my lectures offered me, and I would do them within a specified period. I had a strict lecturer, especially the one who taught me statistics. During the initial period of my lessons, I developed excitement because I loved my course and the subjects too. I had a passion for the course that I was about to pursue (Kinsella 2007). While studying, I came to realize that for one to grasp and master a concept, one had to perform it severally. The ideas and concepts that the lecturer introduced to me seemed tough, and I could hardly understand any (Minott 2009). For example, it took longer before I could master the Idea behind the presentation of data with graphs and pie charts. Often, I would draw the pie charts and bar graphs to impress my lecturer, but I could not understand the significances of presenting data in graphs. However, I had realized that the concept was merely a data analysis and to achieve a general over view. From this experience, I realized that learning is a gradual process that takes some time before an individual becomes a master. I also developed a habit to attend the lessons and this motivated me to learn faster (Brodie & Irving 2007). My experiences also taught me that humans must undergo frequent training in order to master a concept. Humans must develop an interest in learning before they begin to learn. I had a passion for pursuing my degree, and that passion was the driving force behind my success in learning. I enjoyed every bit of time that I spent while studying.
