This is more about what we really like and enjoy

Could be the same as the challenging bit... sometimes the painful thing happens to be an exciting aspect we want to work on

But I can also work on setting a clear direction that my group can aim to work towards if there is no one else doing so.]]> 2020-03-04 23:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454744451 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454846160 Most proposals were around 500 words but our first draft ended up being around 2000+ words and we had to cut down on our word count by a few hundred words and that process was quite hard as we were unsure about what information to retain and what to eliminate while still sending our message across to the audience.]]> 2020-03-05 05:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454846160 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454847030 We formatted our proposal according to a business proposal as we wanted it to feel as legitimate as possible so we did not stick to the basic format of a normal proposal and came up with something different, something that hopefully stands out from the rest. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454847030 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454848157 I feel that u can improve on my thinking scope as many of my ideas were very limited and narrow, so I feel that I can improve on this by pushing myself to think bigger, broader and out of the box. This way, I can generate more ideas and different concepts. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454848157 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454849447 There was a lot of confusion that I had about approach and method and how to put it nicely in my proposal. My entire approach and methods were all very messy until we learnt how to categorize our points.]]> 2020-03-05 05:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454849447 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454850953 I feel that I approached the proposal with a very fixed mindset on how a proposal should look like and what should be included in it. However, I learned from my group mates that there are many different ways we can approach something and that we should always look at the problem from different and new perspectives and always be open to new approaches.]]> 2020-03-05 05:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454850953 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454851355 Before I wrote the proposal, I have never thought of ever trying to do educational or vlogging style for any of the videos, or even do legit live performances. But the proposal enabled me to explore different ideas.]]> 2020-03-05 05:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454851355 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454851862 When my group started doing our proposal, it was at approximately 900 words. We had to look into areas where there were excessive information to remove them. However, most of our points were still underdeveloped and still had to keep to word count ]]> 2020-03-05 05:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454851862 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852048 It was hard to conclude with an approach so early into the planning process hence we are unable to come up with an approach which may cover all aspects of our area of concern]]> 2020-03-05 05:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852048 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852068 Something that i feel excited about is the execution of our group's idea since it would be a tough thing to do due to having to contact external organisations]]> 2020-03-05 05:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852068 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852194 It was really interesting to see all the different information we have gathered put together and organised, as well as generating new and innovative ideas. Seeing the end product also us gives a sense of satisfaction after we tried to connect the different components together. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852194 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852310 2020-03-05 05:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852310 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852400 Interesting to work with something we have never done before ]]> 2020-03-05 05:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852400 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852414 We Have many different ideas and thinkings every discussion but we always do not go in depth and think about the connection between the ideas. Our proposal is like a rough list of ideas and methods and no one went to organise and group it. Only after some drilling and digging deeper, we then are able to think deeper today.]]> 2020-03-05 05:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852414 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852575 Learn how to act smart even if we are not 
How to write a good proposal ]]> 2020-03-05 05:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852575 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852606 I never thought that planning played such an important role in any project we did. Like to me it was just brief and something quite irrelevant. What mattered to me more was the project itself. However after CID4 i realised that planning took such a long time because we had to set up out goals and our direction properly before we can even start working. For our proposal, it was the same. Planning was very crucial. If we did not plan properly, then we would have had no clear path to work towards to. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852606 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852633 It was difficult to phrase our ideas coherently and simply, but at the same time ensuring that we have our points conveyed. Keeping our report short was difficult as we had too many words. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852633 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852764 It was quite interesting working with a new bunch of people where the team dynamics is unfamiliar ]]> 2020-03-05 05:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852764 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454852814 When we were finally able to come up w the connections and the approaches and link them together.

We had to do research about our topic “forensic science” eg. The type of sciences we wanted to promote. It was pretty exciting because we wanted to learn more about forensic science in the first place so to openly be allowed to dedicate time for research was very fulfilling ]]> 2020-03-05 05:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853006 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853055 At first, we were unsure of a story that our group shared and as such, it was more difficult to come up with a target audience.

I did not expect it to be so tedious and hard to express what was really going on in my mind and when things were not going on smoothly, I felt very frustrated and tired. I could have been more calm instead of panicking when I was unclear of what I wanted to do. ]]> 2020-03-05 05:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853354 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853378 Listening to feedback by our mentors helped a lot as we got to look through the loopholes we have in our proposal and general project, making us more aware of what we should focus on and the shortcomings.]]> 2020-03-05 05:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853378 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853538 we initially drafted our proposals and we were barely 3/4 done when our word count had already exceeded 600 words and we realised that there were still many crucial things to add on. our total word count amounted to about 1000 which was very much more than the desired but we were also quite clueless on which information to retain and which were unnecessary because everything we typed out seemed equally important in conveying our main point and we were quite afraid that leaving out any of them would cause a loophole in our proposal and hence leading to an unclear proposal which we will be penalised for.]]> 2020-03-05 05:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853538 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853539 have never worked on this idea before and very excited for the execution ]]> 2020-03-05 05:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853539 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853569 Everyone in the group is important in contributing their parts and a group work wouldn't be a group work if not everyone has input their ideas into it ]]> 2020-03-05 05:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853569 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853629 Throughout the proposal writing, I have learnt to use different models in order to help me with my thinking.]]> 2020-03-05 05:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853629 https://padlet.com/tching/cid4learningV/wish/454853680 It was challenging as I constantly needed to tweak my slides as it needed to flow, while being able to convey all the correct messages.
