Taylor's TGC

TGC (Taylor's Graduate Capabilities):  capabilities that encompass the knowledge, cognitive capabilities and soft skills of graduates.
The TGC gives students the edge to start and stay ahead. The graduate capabilities are designed to ensure that Taylor's graduates are proficient and skilled.

This portfolio is a device to map and showcases the student‟s personal development of Taylor‟s Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. Students are required to retain the following, depending on their programme requirements:
1. All studio and class work (current/previous sessions)
2. Academic transcripts
3. Journal (extracts as appropriate)
4. Specific 'Reflection' exercises
5. Peer assessment/feedback sheets 
6. Records from Portfolio Interview with Year Convener
7. Records of Personal Achievement
8. CV (personal profile and resume)
9. other relevant extracurricular artefacts

Where am I at this stage?

Thus far, I personally think I have room for improvement in my studies. I do not have the discipline ( or lack of time - due to my hectic schedule) to study to attain excellent results; I also prefer to self study than take part in the Peer-To-Peer Tutoring (a program set up by Taylor's college where students learn from peers outside of classroom). It causes a struggle to cope with my studies (much less likely to excel in it). 

Solution? 
Have a study buddy. NOT A TUTOR (who's intention's are purely to make their CV look good)
TIME MANAGEMENT. Less time in dreamland and more time facing the books.
Keep  to a specific routine - at least an hour of studying per day
Don't procrastinate. Procrastinating is the root of all evil (or failures, especially in a student's life in my opinion). 

That's all for now.
