Self Reflection
Completing this module has not only proven beneficial to my architectural knowledge but has equipped me with the relevant analytical skill due to the research part of it.
The research helped me gain knowledge about Asian Architecture, It's initial stages, how it has influenced the world, as well as the present architecture. On the other hand, the weekly quizzes played an important role in not only shaping my viewpoint but also constantly testing my knowledge about the subject. With the help of the pre-recorded lectures I was able to expand my comprehension in depth, of Asian Architecture.
The feedback provided by the lecturers consistently pushed me to produce an outcome worth praising and to work on my mistakes.
