Hey everyone out there reading this post! So, in this post, I will mainly be penning down my reflections and thoughts of this CID 2 course for the past 3 weeks. CID stands for Construct, Integrate and Differentiate, which is a course that prepare us students right from the start for Project Work (PW), a component in the GCE 'A' Levels Examination.
For the past 3 weeks, our teacher has taught us many essential skills that can be applied in future group projects and discussions. During the first week, we were introduced to CID 2 and were given a brief summary on how this course will run throughout the year. The second week was more enriching and in depth, with the main theme being 'A picture paints a thousand words'. The lesson mainly focused on getting us to gather meaning and thoughts from what we see and the importance of looking beyond just what is on the surface. The third week's emphasis was on observations and communications - that observing is not just looking but entails deeper analysis and reflections.
From those 3 weeks, I have indeed benefitted and garnered much relevant skills and knowledge. One lesson that I've especially benefitted from was the lesson where we talked about how 'A picture paints a thousand words'. Indeed, a picture paints a thousand of words. All pictures carry and contain many meanings which varies based on one's point of view. However, what we see may not be what it really is in reality.
As the saying goes, 'Never judge a book by its cover.' Based on just the exterior of everything in our daily life, we often jump to conclusion and determine the worth of that certain somone or thing. However, what we observe or think is superficial and is just an assumption. Everything has a story of its own, even the vast open sea - what we see on the surface may just be a open sea and waves, but beyond the surface, many marine creatures and plants live deep within.
This shows that before we have a conclusion, we should always dive deeper, go in depth first - reflect on our judgement and research more about the background of it. This way, it will make our final judgement more reliable and accurate as we have already acquired the background knowledge and story of it.
