Summary

After thirteen weeks of LMS, I felt that I have learnt a lot and that I can say I am a different person thirteen weeks ago. I have learnt about anger management, conflict management and time management. Before I took this module, I looked at conflict, anger and time management at a different perspective. I thought anger was a feeling a normal person would feel when he is provoked; I didn’t know there were so much to anger. I assumed conflict to be a small quarrel that would soon die down and that it was inevitable in our life, but now I know how to avoid a conflict and the solutions to salvage the situation.

All this skills proved to be in good use in my daily life; for example, time management is how I allocate my time to do work and enjoy. Although conflict and anger management is not applied daily, it is useful when the situation arises. LMS teaches us to plan out what we are going to do in mind before acting, this is to minimize conflict and for us to consider the effects and consequences of yourself and the other party for the act.

About the group assignment, I feel that my main weakness is my mentality about the assignment in the first place. At the start of the project, I kept thinking that “since IS is not a main module, why care? And it’s a very boring module.” I became uninterested in the project until the holidays, where my group leader were all stressed up doing the script and getting us to act it out. I can’t be bothered to do anything. However, we had lots of fun during the filming process and I enjoyed it very much. It was a sense of self-satisfactory that kept me going till the end of the project. My group members were the ones who made the project a fun and memorable one.

LMS sure have helped me in thinking more about myself and others and about the “big picture” instead of the “small picture”. It has improved my life tremendously and I enjoyed attending all of the lessons.
