❏    In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative skills)
My dish was healthy and I incorporated the different techniques taught to us.

❏    Reflect on the practical test session
I was able to keep calm and my dish turned out the way I expected it to. However, I think I could have baked the muffins for longer to make them rise more.

❏    Were you able to manage time?
Yes. I finished ahead of time and was able to have time left to clean up my work station.

❏    Did you face difficulties?  How did you overcome them?
Yes. I faced difficulties in my time management, as it sometimes took longer to complete certain steps than I expected. I overcame these by remaining calm and completing the steps as efficiently as I could to ensure I finish within time.

❏    How would you have done it differently?
I would have made my dish look more aesthetic and appealing and also let it bake for longer so that they would have risen more.

❏    Reflect on the food blogging process
The food blogging process helped me to understand what I did and what I could do better, and was overall very beneficial.

❏    How useful were the nutritional tools?
They were very useful in letting me pick out a more healthy dish and substituting ingredients in my dish to make it healthier.

❏    How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?

How purposeful were the experimentation lessons in helping you come up with your final creation?
They were very manageable and I was able to pick them up easily. The experimentation lessons helped me learn new techniques and skills and think about what I can make for my final creation.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
(Eg 2. My proudest moment was when my composition was impactful - it has an emotional effect on the performers and/or the listeners.
Eg 1. I could use my composition for a purpose (such as a phone ringtone) or event (Chinese New Year celebrations).

My proudest moment is when my composition turned out well. I worked very hard to create it and it was successful.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
(Eg. The greatest challenge was to be different from other groups as there is temptation to copy others.)

The greatest challenge was to be innovative and try out things even if I didn't think they would sound good, because I wanted to be safe and just do what I knew would turn out correctly, but I decided to push myself and experiment with new ideas, and it ended up sounding better than I expected.

What can I do to improve?
(Eg. To encourage my team members to give their best, and get every member to be fully involved in the group project.)

I can encourage my team members to participate more actively as it is a group effort.
