UHMT1012-45 (GRADUATE SUCCESS ATTRIBUTES)

A Brief Synopsis of the following Course:

Graduate Success Attributes (GSA) aims to serve the need of the students to understand and apply the attribute of UTM graduate skills. The course guides students in developing basic skills which consist of communication, thinking, scholarship, teamwork & leadership, adaptability, global citizenship and enterprising skills. This course also prepares them to face the real challenging world. In this course, students will be assessed through various class activities such as individual case study and group project.

Graduate Success Attributes (GSA), the name of this course indicates that it will teach you certain qualities that a graduate should possess. Based on my experience, this course delivers those qualities. One of which is, I should have patience. I cannot deny that I was not a patient man before this course. Dr. Nicole proved many things about patience through different scenarios implementing her own life experiences. Therefore, I learned in a unique way to be patient in making difficult choices and be patient in daily life in general.

This course impacted me the most when it taught me about entrepreneurial skills. Because, I personally have a liking to that topic, I might even venture into the entrepreneurial world because of this course. In other words, I am willing to take more calculated risks and am leaning towards innovation. And I only have Dr. Nicole to thank for this knowledge. To broaden our entrepreneurial knowledge, Dr. Nicole assigned us to interview an entrepreneur and write a report based on said interview. Dr also mentioned we should schedule minute meetings to make our tasks smoother as a team. This ignited my team working spirit, Dr did mention that team working was crucial as a skill of an entrepreneur. Therefore, I realised that this assignment is not only purposed to evaluate us but to encourage us to become an entrepreneur.

In conclusion, I would like to thank Dr. Nicole for making every one of our classes engaging. This helped me understand topics more thoroughly. I have no doubt, that the skills I learned though this course will be put to good use.
