And I chose these two modules between the four of the first year:
_ Design and Production/Manufacturing
https://osiris.utwente.nl/student/OnderwijsCatalogusSelect.do?selectie=cursus&cursus=201800197&collegejaar=2018&taal=en
_ Design and Mechanics
https://osiris.utwente.nl/student/OnderwijsCatalogusSelect.do?selectie=cursus&cursus=201700124&collegejaar=2018&taal=en

These two modules were the easiest ones (or less difficult) to extract a topic of, since they have topics (such as automation, strenght or stiffness) that could be applied in cases of real life. The other two modules used terms and definitions that I could not understand. ]]> 2019-02-17 09:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332088079 leonardosantn https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332089357 Before creating my two possible topics, I read some articles to know if the possible topics were suitable for a research; and to better develop the structure of the my topics.

One clear example of this is the reflection about the way I study and do homework, I realized that the old methods that I used were not enough effective (study alone and in my room, without external interference),
For that reason, I started to try new methods and study styles  and I discovered that in a public study environment (where there are more students) or, even studying with my friends, I am more efficient when doing homework or studying, I optimize my time and I see things from a fresh perspective. Even though I have not improved everything that I hope for, I think that reflecting on the results I get and in what I actually want to get, will allow me to improve little by little.]]> 2019-02-17 16:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332128372 leonardosantn https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332130784 The strategies used in the Research Report have been useful for me at the moment of preparing my ERE first draft: finding sources, and taking and organizing notes. ]]> 2019-02-17 16:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332130784 leonardosantn https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332131884 2019-02-17 16:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332131884 leonardosantn https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332132287 This document called "Reflective practice to improve schools" from Sommers, W., Ghere, G.S., & Montie, J. in 2001 contains questions that have helped me to make an appropriate reflection process. ]]> 2019-02-17 16:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leonardosantn/vb2wfwfvhcji/wish/332132287
