Overall Reflection: At the beginning of the year, I had no idea what to expect during this unit and was not so keen on having debates and blog posts as part of the assignments. Eventually, after a number of trail debates between groups during class, I felt more confident and had learnt a lot about the structure of a debate as well as strengths and weak points. Despite the fact that most debate topics had nothing to do with Spatial Design, I actually enjoyed learning about the different views of fellow classmates on these topics as well as presenting my own on a topic that means a lot to me. I also found it hard to keep up with blog posts and what to write in them but after a while I got the hang of it. Hypothesis: The final assignment consisted of critically analysing and evaluating a topic of choice in depth and presenting those findings in an essay. At first I could not fully understand the purpose of the task. After going over the chosen title for my thesis a number of times , I started asking myself why I chose that title. It was a title that really meant a lot to me considering that that is the path that I will hopefully take after finishing the degree. This allowed me to go into more detail on important elements within the project as well as widen my knowledge on the subject. After coming up with a number of hypothesis questions and doing some research as well as consult with the lecturer, the best hypothesis was chosen. Despite thinking that once the title was chosen that the rest would be easy, I found it to be quite the opposite. Upon conducting further research I came to realise that I was taking the subject too literally and wasn't looking in between the lines for more in-depthfindings. The title was slightly arranged after consulting with the lecturer again and I reached to more elaborate conclusions. I believe that this unit will definitely come to use when we are preparing for our thesis in the coming year, if the proposal is accepted. I also believe that I could have done better in this task especially when trying to demonstrate critical thinking within the essay, and putting forward a convincing and objective evaluation.
