Learning Goal 1

I achieve my overall objective that I set in my learning framework. I always complete the entire task that the employer has given to me. Also I eliminate my laziness by increasing my motivation in the process of working in the co-operative placement. As I make a good progress at the end of my co-op placement. For example, that the employer given me a due date for each task, in that day they given a time breakdown how much I need to spend in each task, for total I need to finish all the Task by the end of working days in that particular days, and I do all the task properly, and I already finish the task properly ahead of time. So I can move to do the next job that assign for tomorrow.

My co-op experience has developed as a professional that level of my leaving tasks is eliminated. As for the effective thinking and problem solving It can make me not to rush to find a solution, just take your time and get the best solution for the problem that arises in that time of the problem is arise.

As for the future I wish I can keep doing what I am doing now and improve from there on to become a better person and a better employee, as the 9 weeks experience has thought me, as I found out this is really good way to finish your study and implement what you have learned in university to the workplace, not all the theory I have learned in university from my major is really applicable to the workplace thought. As for the other paper from AUT is not really applicable to the workplace, for example some paper is not really applicable for the working experience I do in 9 weeks.

In my role at my co-op placement can contribute to my future career plan, as in 3 years time I will make my own business, so the things I learned in the 9 weeks I can use it in the future to be a successful businessman. Also before I have my
