I am naturally bad at multi-tasking and from my experience, multi-tasking gives me a false sense of accomplishment. I multi-tasked and at the end of it, I felt like I achieved many things in a span of three hours. However, I realized the fact is I did not achieve anything at all when I sat for my test. This made me realize that multi-tasking is not the way when doing stuff and focusing on one thing at a time is still the best way.
Is learning 3D and design different from learning programming, or is all learning the same?Why?
To me, learning is different for different modules as interest in areas vary. For 3D and design, I am naturally bad when it comes to putting what I have conceived in my mind onto paper or Maya, as I am not efficient with the interface and I am bad at drawing. Step by step procedures makes it easy to do 3D but 3D is based on one's own imagination and the possibilities are limitless. For programing, it is more on the logic of the codes and there is a fixed answer like mathematics. This is achieved through knowing codes and having a strong logic. However, these two are similar in a aspect of practice. Both needs practice to be fluent and for me practicing is a form of similar learning. This being said, I somehow prefer 3D compared to programming as I find 3D fun. Interest is what makes learning different.
The article states that “Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual”. Do you agree with this? Do you feel that you approach your learning in the best way – if yes, how, and if no, how can you change your work style?
I agree that “Learning is actually a very complex operation for an individual”. Every person have their own learning style and personally, I have not found mine yet. My current working style is definitely not the best way as I leave everything to the eleventh hour. The best way is actually doing work consistently everyday and practicing is a key factor to efficient learning. I am easily distracted by any possible thing and I have to be more disciplined in order for me to approach my learning in the best way.
What are your thoughts about the last paragraph in the extract?
The last paragraph in the extract is really about what is happening today in many different areas. Communication is an essential factor in determining success. Even if someone is talented but does not have the personality and is unable to communicate with others, he/she will be unable to be successful. However, with this said, it is a fact that communication is difficult as people have different mindsets and different personalities. Without allowances, two or more strong personalities will clash and will affect the team's performance. Communication is a difficult but necessary skill to achieve success.
Should your lecturers also focus on your work attitude, or just leave you to sink or swim on your own? Why?
Lecturers should focus on our work attitude to a certain extent. With motivation, there are students who will respond positively and have a positive work attitude. However, when students respond negatively after countless times of motivating, lecturers should leave him/her alone and focus on the students who are responding positively until that student choose to change his work attitude. This is due to making him/her to be responsible for his/her own studies and future. Without their own conviction to do well, no amount of pushing will work on them.
