Assignments and activities that helped me develop my reflective judgment

The critical assessment of thoughts, contentions, and perspectives is significant for the advancement of students as self-governing scholars. It is just through this basic assessment that students can distinguish among contending claims for truth and figure out which contentions and purposes of perspectives they can belief and those of which they ought to be incredulous. This work establishes the framework for students advancing to staking their claims in a logical, comprehensive manner. Figuring out how to examine and fundamentally assess contentions subsequently helps students to build up a sound system to test their arguments and develop good reflective judgment.

Developing my skills in reflective judgment was not a complicated case as I had plenty of evidence that matched my beliefs. To figure out the relationship between evidence and belief, I thoroughly analyzed various artworks that were part of my assignments to observe the connections between the two. I generated the pro and con grid that will help me to examine the basic ideas and points of view to reach a reasonable reflection. From the photos I observed, a detailed explanation of the pictures reflected the theoretical details that we learned in our class (King and Kitchener, 2014). I further developed ill-structured problems to give me a good understanding of all available solutions to a given task as the questions have no known answer; thus, they require critical thinking skills. The solutions I gained helped me to rank their viability, thus developing possible skills to come up with my reflective judgment.

Interview assignments likewise helped in analyzing my arguments and developing my point of view. I developed strategies of data collection as per the practices in my discipline, assessing the sources and interpreting the information gained from the responses given in the interview questions. Application of the theory I learned in class with the data collected helped me in making a reasonable reflective judgment as the views were from external sources, not from a single source. In the collection of the data, I applied the ‘believing and doubting game’ to involve both sympathetic and skeptical evidence and beliefs, therefore, allowing me to be practical in my reflective judgment.

Question2: Ways in which TRW helped me develop my writing skills and alter my writing process

TRW has been an excellent course for me when it comes to the development of my writing skills and changing my writing process. As a student, I understand writing is a process just like any activity we take in our daily business, and it becomes comfortable with an increase in practice. Excellent writing skills are useful ideas that are well organized and spoken appropriately. TRW has provided me with frameworks on how to properly arrange my study materials and understanding of arguments in journals and various resources to come up with logical facts and evidence. This helps me have a good flow of writing my points in a given assignment. The writing process has been examined to be a process that includes steps that should be followed in an orderly manner to come up with a complete writing process.

The necessary steps in the writing process are: Prewriting, Drawing the structure of concepts, drawing a rough draft, reviewing the draft drawn, and finally do the editing. These five steps have shaped my experience and skills in my writing. Prewriting involves asking questions on a given topic, utilizing the expertise and observations to get concepts, freewriting on the chosen topic. This helps in coming up with more material ideas from general opinions (Foshay, Silber & Stelnicki, 2013). The next step is to outline the ideas gain from prewriting. This helps in structuring the flow of the work by doing a good thesis for your paper. From this step, you come up with a comprehensive first form of writing in the form of a draft. The final two steps are to review the draft and make any necessary editing from the complete first draft that you made. Therefore, TRW has been of help to me in improving my writing skills and changing of my writing process.

Question3: ways in which TRW class helped me secure a place in the community of St. Kate’s

My companies around St. Kate’s are looking for people who are well equipped with adequate knowledge in copyediting and proofreading to assist in the writing of their final drafts for their large writing projects and tenders. My TRW class has provided me with a good understanding of how to make necessary editing, styles of writing, recognition of any mistakes, and formatting styles to make the work great. I have been able to secure many opportunities in the community due to the skills I attained in this class. The firms around us seek our services, which allows us to put our theoretical knowledge in practice in the firms. This helps us build more experience in our future careers.

Question4: ways in which TRW class helped me define or redefine my core sense of self and understand the diversity

The core sense of self helps people understand themselves, other people, and the world at large. The things we believe to be factual, and we can use to make a sound decision without hurting ourselves, or other people are our core beliefs. This helps people make reflective judgments on particular evidence and belief. The TRW class has equipped me with knowledge on how to come up with my reflective judgment by use of available evidence and comparing it with the beliefs to make a reasonable decision and judgment. The core sense of self helps us accept everyday activities, just the way they happen. This means our point of view of today’s events will be true, just like yesterday and in the future (Cox & Beale, 2017). My class has provided me with knowledge on how to use my ideas and evidence available to associate with other people in society. This makes me have comfortable thinking and perspective of the people we associate in daily activities. The class has helped me accept diversity in all areas of my life, such as the workplace, school, and at home. My relationship with everyone around me is moral and reasonable that no conflicts or hatred can be observed. Solving problems whenever a dispute arises is easy due to the knowledge we gain in our TRW class.
