(Itemise learning activity and reflect on the main points of learning from each. You should identify for each entry the relevant KSB)
Reflection on Learning Activity (include model of reflection e.g. Driscoll or Gibbs):
Reflection based on Gibbs reflective cycle (1988)
Description -what happened?
Today’s lecture was about the respiratory system and the blood.
Feelings-what were you thinking and feeling?
Intellectually, I was optimistic, I checked the presentation slides in advance, and it is quite a lot to learn. Emotionally I am anxious, I know it is a wide range of subjects to discuss and I am hoping I will cope and catch up or get a better understanding of both topics.
Evaluation -what was good and bad about the experience? What went well and what went badly?
The presentation and the lecturer gave me knowledge about how important respiratory system and the blood.
The slides were very well presented but its quite a lot so reading it one by one was not possible. I needed to open it again and visit each slides.
Analysis -what else can you make of the situation?
It was very beneficial lecture and the lecturer gave her best to explained it thoroughly but I find it a lot to intake. Lecture continued a little bit in the afternoon and that was helpful.
Conclusion -what else could you have done?
I could have read or research in advance learning materials or presentation to help me understand it.
Action plan -if it arose again, what would you do?
I will make sure to check and read the available learning materials and hopefully it will help me understand it more.

Title of learning activity: The Cardiovascular System
Diary of Learning activity
(Itemise learning activity and reflect on the main points of learning from each. You should identify for each entry the relevant KSB)
Reflection on Learning Activity (include model of reflection e.g. Driscoll or Gibbs):
Reflection based on Gibbs reflective cycle (1988)
Description -what happened?
Today’s lecture was about Cardiovascular System
Feelings-what were you thinking and feeling?
Evaluation -what was good and bad about the experience? What went well and what went badly?
It was a good lecture showing all the important parts of cardiovascular system. It helps me understand it more.
We were group into 4 and each check each other’s blood pressure, it was my first time using a manual arm blood pressure machine. I was very excited, and I thought it will be very easy. It took me two trials to fully understand and do it properly.
It was vast subject and learning it in a few hours will not make me fully understand it all.
Analysis -what sense can you make of the situation?
The lecture highlights a lot about cardiovascular system. I was interested to learn how the heart works and what surrounds it.
Conclusion -what else could you have done?
It was a lot of knowledge and I think I need to read more to fully understand it. But I am satisfied what that I know, and it was very interesting.
Action plan -if it arose again, what would you do?
I should read the slides before I come to lecture so that I can have a vague idea and ask questions.
I should also do some research on my own to help me understand it better and find maybe images or videos.
