Blog 15 - Review

Final Blog  - Review        

I feel that from this module I have learnt many things, and have learnt a new way of learning.

I feel that by completing class discussions and group work, my interpersonal skills have improved and I have become more understanding of other peoples opinions as well as thinking in a different way, The content of the modal has also effected the way I interact with people, by focusing on how people have different personalities and how people react to certain situation has made me more aware of how to approach a situation where there may be stress or anxiety.

By using the blog system it allows you to not only answer the statement provided, but with no work limit teach blog allows you to explore the bits if information which interest you the most, and for example let you take your own organisational examples to fit into what organisations you like.

I feel the most challenging blog was blog 14, regarding rewards. This was because there are so many topics that can be discussed within rewards that are relevant it was hard to pin point the most relevant information. The topic also does not have any well-defined theories that you can discuss while it also is a challenging to know about organisations reward systems.

The blog I felt the most confident writing was blog 7 the blog on personality, as this had very defined theories that I could discuss and explore and so gave me a plan as to what was relevant and many points I could compare and contrast; and I found it very interesting exploring my fellow classmates personalities and finding out how they work well or not well together.

If I was to improve the module as a whole I would have more assignments but of less worth. This way people have  more opportunity to show their talents and drawbacks, and so as a whole would be able to not be stuck if they don’t understand an item. Also, I think it would be more beneficial to everyone if there was reading set during lectures that needed to be completed by the next lecture, and questions asked on the reading to make sure everyone has done it, this way people would have more idea of answers and you wouldn’t get that silent unknown look from the students. This way the lecture would be more of a further the details that you have already looked at, rather than learning the basics and it being a bit of information overload.

Overall I think the module is very good, and the Blog assignment has been my favourite over any module assignment because it allows you to independently express your academic thoughts as an individual, and doesn’t require you to stick to a certain set of or word counts; and avoids just lines and lines of continuous paraphrasing, you can express YOUR OWN thoughts. I look forward to continuing this topic next year.
