The learning outcomes intended for this assignment were to apply the principles of communication and behaviour in analyzing interaction with others at the individual and group levels as well as to be aware of the importance of cultural differences and to respect it. Besides that, healthy and positive relationships with fellow students were to be built. Finally, we were to communicate the relevant ideas in a clear, logical and appropriate academic English.
Through this
photoblog, I was able to express my visual creativity. After visiting Little
India, I was able to understand my culture even more. I was also able to
improve my academic English through this photo blog. This assignment was
certainly an interesting one to complete as it involved a lot of group work and
I was able to communicate with my group mates even better. This assignment also enabled me to open my eyes to all the tiny details that cannot be seen in my daily life. At the end, all the
learning outcomes intended for this module was achieved.
