Overall Reflection

Throughout these 14 weeks, I've learned a lot in this module, introduction to drawing such as technical drawing, difference between line weights, symbols and many more. I was worried at the first place as this is a module that requires me to draw which isn't my strength. Finding the correct measurement and line weight was hard for me at first because I didn't manage to use the accurate one. In the end after a few try outs, I manage to differentiate the difference and usage between each of them.

​

As for drawing, this is my first time getting in touch with technical drawing. I was so blur during the first assignment especially for the section view. I had totally no idea was does it mean by cutting it in half and draw the inner part of it. . The symbols are also confusing for me at the first place as I am not really sure when and where to use it. Luckily after some consultation from my lecturer and friends, I get to understand to key points of it and slowly getting on the right track

​

The final assignment is a group assignment. I'm very glad that I have awesome teammates (Zhiyi, Jun Kai, Yee Leong and Elliot). We help each other through the whole assignment. We discuss everything together and work out as a team. We had group meetings after class ends and finish the assignment together smoothly. Even though there are some problems faced such as certain furniture that we choose does not suit well in everyone's floor plan as the size of it is too huge. We tried changing the furniture to a different one that suits everyone's drawing.

Taylor's Graduate Capabilities (TGC) that I've learned: 

​

TGC 1.0: Discipline Specific Knowledge

In this module, I've learned to apply theories teach in lecture classes in my assignments. As an example, there is a difference between brick wall and concrete wall which can be seen in section view. Glass window are required to have 3 lines on it to be identifies as glass. In this way, I understand much professional practice within the field of study.

​

TGC 3.0: Thinking and Problem Solving Skills

As this module is a whole new thing for me, I don't know much about any skills or principles that I can apply while drawing it which makes me worried. I have to use my critical and creative thinking skills to find a creative and suitable way to place the furniture that I've chose in my final assignment. When facing problems , I have to analyse those problems and find an effective to solve it. 

​

TGC 4.0: Communication Skills

Communication skills is important in this module which I've learned a lot during these 14 weeks. Especially for the final assignment as it is a half group work half individual basis. Communication plays an important role in a group to decrease the rate misunderstanding due to miscommunication. Me and my group members communicate all the time to ensure nothing goes the wrong way and to reduce conflict from happening to the minimum.
