REFLECTION

Reflection

Through this assignment, the TGCs I have acquired are:

DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Over the course of assignment, I have learned on how to build my toy step by step by following the phases that are required in this module. Other than that, I have also learned about the meaning of play from a child's view and its benefits.

LIFELONG LEARNING

In this assignment, I was able to learn independently without any urging from tutor in order to complete the assignment before the due date. Moreover, I have finish my task according to the timeline I set for myself in order to show the progress during tutorial class.

THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

This assignment allows me to enhance my thinking and problem solving skills when I generate the ideas for my toy, Instead of thinking about the play or the act of play, I started off with the materials I could find in my house.

DIGITAL LEGACY

I was glad that I could complete this assignment using some editing application such as Sketchbook and Photoshop. This provides me the opportunity to learn and test out the features that will be helpful for my future career before I go architecture course in degree.
