E-Portfolio #7: Resolving difficulties towards the end..

In this final blog entry for EG1471, I have chosen the topic on the difficulties I have faced while writing for my modules since entering NUS.
In writing reports for my labs and projects, the difficulties that I have faced so far is the organization of the information collected and the confusion between which types of information should be regarded with more importance than the other. There are also times when I do not know what is required specifically, cases in which I would write everything that I have collected including wrong readings. While writing for my English classes this semester so far, I have a tendency to keep changing ideas and my stand for the two essays while writing.
To resolve the issues in my lab reports, I would write it according to how the procedures and measurements reading were taken, ending with the conclusion that states any difficulties and improvements I think the experiment could improve upon. However in project reports, there aren’t any guidelines or manual I could follow as projects are more open ended which meant for us to indicate every important detail that might be deemed important to the project. The method I used to write my report for my projects was to include pictures detailing my schematics and the reasons for the design, the way the schematic works, if there was any better way of designing it and reasons why I did not choose the alternatives.
For my English essays, eventually I would decide upon the stand that I have the most ideas on. However this is a bad way of writing essays as it takes a longer time and time is limited during exams. I suppose the best solution to resolve this issue of mine would be to decide upon a stand as soon as possible before writing out the text. While for my report writing, I feel it can be improved further with better organization in the arrangement of the importance of the measurements and issues brought upon.
With this, I conclude with this blog entry the best of luck to all fellow peers in the coming exams! =)
