We were tasked to write a proposal, an outline, and a progress report of the Formal Report. In the process, I experienced many difficulties. Unlike other academic reports, this assignment is more like the kind of report I will be writing in a workplace. For someone who has little work experience like me, I am not very familiar with how to identify a problem in a professional setting, so my first attempt &#8211;&#8220;propose to add a multimedia tutorial in the first week&#8217;s of the class&#8221; failed. Due to this failure, I start to reflect on the purpose of the report, then I realized that if I want to write a feasibility report, I must think of something that&#8217;s not only original but also workable.<\/p>\n<p>Then I start to reflect on my volunteering experience in the UBC Chinese Learning program, I think critically about what UBC students want to obtain from Oral Practice sessions, what can I (as a volunteer) do for them. So I come up with this idea&#8211;to add an assessment in every OP session. An assessment is critical in lesson planning, but it is absent in the OP session. Hence I wonder, why something critical can be omitted from a learning session and what kind of assessment can fit in a 50-minute session.<\/p>\n<p>Deciding what topic to write is both a fun and struggling experience, but once this phase is passed, I am more confident to proceed with writing.
