Self- Evaluation

The lecture started out pretty interesting than I expected. The tutorials were handed over to all the students. All of a sudden Mr. Rehan told us to make use of the paper which was handed out, and make a airplane. At first everyone were kind of confused because we have ever heard of making airplanes. So some students were asking whether we should make an airplane or a rocket? But Mr. Rehan told over and over again that we should make an airplane. So everyone started making their own design. There were allot of new creations, but most of people including my self ended up making a rocket.

After the designs were made, each and every student were given a chance to fly their own design. But the main aim was to select the best design which would hit the whiteboard from a respectable distance. It was very exciting to see all the rockets flying here and there. Some designs failed to fulfill the requirement but where as some designs were able to meet the requirement correctly.

The main idea behind making these paper planes were to talk about how skills work together with knowledge. Some people were successful at the first attempt. This was because their knowledge or skills they had on this field.  Some were successful at the second attempt, that is after Mr.Rehan taught us how to make a proper structure of a airplane/ rocket. With the help of someone or something we can improve what we are trying to achieve. This might take our own skills/ knowledge plus the knowledge/skills which the helper/instructor has. When both are combined together achieving the target will be easier.
