WHAT I HAVE GAINED IN THIS MODULE:
5.1 Discipline
Specific Knowledge
The knowledge that I
have gained from classroom is able to be transformed into my answers for the
assignment. We were given a group assignment whereby we were required to be the
in the Quantity Surveyor position to advice the client by giving assessment
towards the condition that occurred in the construction industry.
5.2 Lifelong
Learning
This module required
students to be more independent and able to
extract the information advice from the qualified Quantity Surveyor. To
complete this assignment, we are required to do our own research and to identify the answer based on our analysis.
5.3
Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
The group assignment
given was not on the direct type. Hence we are required to think and come out with the solution in respond to
answer our assignment question. Without a doubt, if there is no teamwork in carry out this assignment, the assignment
would not be successfully done.
5.4
Interpersonal skills
In this module, one of
our assignment is presentation, where all of us were grouped in a four. The
purpose of having this presentation is for us to experience
the way of sharing the knowledge that we were
further research on the topic we presenting. We also required presenting out
our understanding and answering the question raised by classmates or lecture.
Through this, I realized the importance of working as a team to deliver the
message to the course-mate.
Conclusion, QS is a profession in the construction industry where to advice the client in term of monetary, quality and time. Therefore, before advising the client, it required analysis on the entire situation which accordance with the contract in order to have more precise advice to the client.
