Question: Discuss about the Information Literacy (Critical Thinking). Answer: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 6-8p.m. 5-7p.m. 7-9p.m. 6-8p.m. 4-6p.m. Class by the professor Revision of the previous class Highlight discussion for next class (7-7:30p.m.) Class test (7:45 to 9:00p.m.) Class by the professor Revision of the previous class The above study plan represents my Business Management class and a corresponding schedule of five weekly days. The class duration of each session is 2 hour and the timing of class varies according to the schedule of professor and institutional scheduling. In every class lecture is being conducted by our professor except on Wednesday, which includes additional class test for that particular day. Monday and Thursday are the two important days in my schedule as it includes the lecture portion and its revision. Besides this, on Wednesday I also required to attend for the class test. On this particular day my peers and I remains quite nervous and full of anxiety, for the scheduled test. On the other hand, this test helps to increase the competitive spirit in me and motivates me to study more and gain in-depth understanding of the subject matter. It is quite troublesome in my part to attend the class on Wednesday as well as to present for the test because of the late timing schedules. In b etween the mentioned schedules, there is a break of 15 minutes. This break is often worthy as it offers a small gap for relaxation. After the brainstorming lecture, I eagerly wait for this break to relax my mind; such as to feel fresh and energetic. Importantly, I have to regain my energy and prepare for attending another classroom session. All the 5 days I feel pretty excited and eagerly wait to attend my lecture session; because there I get to interact and spend time with my friends. Professors lecture helped a lot to boost up my knowledge regarding the particular subject matter. In the initial days my performance in the schedule tests was poor, but with a gradual increase in time, my performance also enhanced. My parents and professors are very much pleased with my improving performance in this subject, which motivates me to improve further and gain more in-depth information. I used to prepare myself before my scheduled class session through internet sources, textbooks and notes. Further, I get ready running notes during my lecture session and later on I organise all the notes in a synchronised manner at my home. For further assistance, I prefer to discuss and clarify my doubts with my peers and professor. Moreover, I do self- study at home to perform better in the class. Seldom, I have to face certain problems in attending my scheduled classes, which is attributed to transportation and timing of classes. I have to cover a long distance in order to reach my destination and after returning home, I feel exhausted. There are certain topics on this subject which I also feel difficult to understand. Hence, I feel our professor should organise doubt clearing classes during weekends. This will be helpful especially to offer a platform for interaction and opportunity to gain more in-depth knowledge of the subject matter.
