Sprint 2 - Learning Reflection
What is your long term goal and or career pathway?
My goal is to become a senior software developer with a keep on
learning new skills attitude along the way.
What skills (non-technical - human skills) would you like to see
developed in yourself while at EDA?
I specifically would like my communications skills to be better
especially when I try to speak my thoughts and not let others
misinterpret it.
A description of your own strengths and limitations
Strengths:
I’m a good listener, I’m a cheerful guy, Quick learner, Open to criticism, Enjoy working with others, Pays attention to details, Planning and Time management skills, and I’m an Optimist.
Limitations:
I’m not a vocal kind of guy.
Based on the above description, a commitment to how you will manage
your workload in this programme. This should include - an
explanation of how you will manage yourself to work productively and
safely with other learners, facilitators and industry/community
representatives.
Before enrolling in EDA, I have setup a plan on my calendar for
everyday activities. This way I can efficiently manage how much free
time I have and be productive at the same time. With my free time, I
can help out other learners If they need someone’s help.
A commitment as to how and where you will seek help in a timely way.
If I need help I would ask my facilitator when our session comes. As
an alternative, I usually post some questions in stackoverflow or
try asking on our slack channel.
A description of what you expect from the facilitation team
Just for my preference, I like the facilitators because they are fun
and friendly but when it comes to delivering learning materials, I
would suggest more video learning materials as reading can be dull
and boring.
Any scheduling information such as block-out times when you are
committed to other things. For example, you might have whanau
commitments such as school drop-offs. It’s important to plan these
in.
As I have mentioned above. I had planned my schedules before getting
in EDA. I planned on doing EDA school stuff during weekends (8
hours), or night-time (for about 2 hours). As for school drop-off, I
have to schedule in advance as I'm still working full time til end
of February.
