Self Realisation

This module has encouraged me to delve into many new experiences and different thought processes. It exhibits an environment that allows people to think outside the box and come to the realisation that what they may perceive as the right idea or approach to a task may be completely different to what other people think. Personally, I feel I am developing the skills to think in a broader minded perspective, outside of confirmative thoughts. I have realised that I have become so used to being told exactly how to think, that it can be difficult to put this logical thought process aside and let my mind be unrestricted and impartial. In this way, I feel this module is benefiting me greatly, as even though I do not express my opinion often in class, it is very interesting to gain an insight into other people’s opinions and through this, modify how I think and perceive things in a creative way.

From the initial class in the module, the one aspect that I feel really enhances the learning experience for me, is that it is so different from every other module in college.

When working as part of a group within my degree I can now look back to this class and from that knowledge evaluate if I can improve my team working skills for the benefit of the group.

I am now getting more accustomed to the creative environment generated in this module and am growing in confidence. I have thoroughly enjoyed introduction to creative thinking up to this point. I am really looking for to the block week and the new experience and thought processes it will be presented to us. I am going to embrace the challenge of developing my mind into a creative entity and in turn strive to come out a better more open minded person with confidence to express creativity upon completion of this module.
