Reflection- Andrea

I feel that this English PT helped me improve in a lot of ways. For example, socratic questioning helped me improve my communication skills, as I had to ask questions and also answer them. I also enjoyed working with my group members and I liked the cooperation.

There was actually some problems in the beginning, as we could not decide on a topic, then when we had decided on one, we had to filter out reliable information from unreliable information. Then, there was field work, where it was actually quite eye-opening for us, as we got to experience what talking to random strangers on the street might feel like. We even got chased away once by a security guard!

I learnt that we had to work hard as a group to produce satisfactory results, and also that quantity did not mean quality. I also liked that we had to split into pairs for the last part of the PT because it was interesting working within the group with another person, then working together again. We, as a group, also found out more about skills outside of academics, like communication skills and also setting quizzes. We learnt that we had to provide clear questions, not vague ones, or else we would get inaccurate answers.

In conclusion, I felt that this was by far the most interesting and meaningful PT yet as it dealt with issues that we would never had thought about until now. I would recommend that this PT be continued as it would be quite meaningful, and one thing I feel that should be improved is that we should have a wider range of topics to choose from. My group members were quite fun to work with, and although there were a few hiccups on the way, I can conclude that this PT is a success(:
