1. Quiz Reflection:
In one paragraph (250 words) briefly discuss assignment 01
which was a quiz, tell us what you learnt and how you intend to
use this knowledge in future assignments. [20]
Quiz Reflection – Assignment 01
Assignment 01 was a quiz that tested my understanding of
key concepts in the module. Through this assessment, I
learned the importance of thoroughly reviewing course
materials, as the questions required both factual recall and
critical thinking. The quiz format also helped me improve
my time management skills, as I had to analyze and
answer questions within a limited timeframe.
Additionally, I realized the significance of paying
attention to details, as some questions had similar answer
choices, requiring careful reading to select the correct
response. One of the most valuable takeaways from this
experience was the ability to identify knowledge gaps. By
reviewing incorrect answers, I could pinpoint areas that
need further study, which will help me strengthen my
grasp of the subject. Moving forward, I intend to apply
this knowledge by adopting a more structured study
approach for future assignments. I will take
comprehensive notes, create summaries, and test myself
,with practice questions to ensure a deeper understanding
of key topics. Furthermore, I will allocate sufficient time
for revision before each assessment to reinforce my
learning and improve my accuracy. This experience has
also highlighted the importance of critical thinking, which
I will use in written assignments to construct well-
reasoned arguments and analyses. Overall, the quiz has
provided me with valuable insights into effective study
techniques and assessment strategies, which will enhance
my performance in future coursework and examinations
2. Topic Choice:
Choose the question you intend to write about in your final
essay from those provided to you BELOW or in the Portfolio
Manual which was uploaded under Additional Resources in your
course website. Write a paragraph (250 words) reflecting on
why you chose this particular topic. [20]
Topic Choice Reflection
For my final essay, I have chosen to write about “The
impact of digital activism on social and political
change.” This topic interests me because digital activism
has become a powerful tool for raising awareness,
mobilizing communities, and influencing policies
worldwide. With the rise of social media platforms such
as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, activism has shifted
from traditional methods like protests and petitions to
, online campaigns that can reach a global audience almost
instantly. I find this transformation fascinating, as it
highlights the intersection of technology, communication,
and social change.
One of the key reasons I chose this topic is its relevance
to contemporary society. In recent years, we have seen
movements like #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo, and
#FeesMustFall gain momentum through digital platforms,
demonstrating the potential of online activism in shaping
public discourse and challenging systemic injustices.
However, digital activism is not without its challenges—
issues like misinformation, online harassment, and
performative allyship raise important questions about its
effectiveness. I am eager to explore both the advantages
and limitations of digital activism in my essay, drawing
on real-world examples and academic perspectives.
Additionally, this topic aligns with my interests in media
studies, communication, and social justice. Writing about
it will allow me to critically analyze the role of digital
media in activism while enhancing my research and
argumentation skills. By engaging with scholarly
literature and case studies, I hope to develop a well-
informed perspective that can contribute to discussions on
activism in the digital age
