During yesterdays Skype call we discussed synthesis through reflection.
Synthesis is defined as the combination of components or elements to form a connected whole.
We discussed how each component is vital to our professional practice. I think that it is an interesting exercise to think about how my practice would be affected if one element was removed. For example, if networking was taken away, I would not have secured my previous two jobs, showing the importance of each component.
It was noted how the connections between each element should be displayed throughout our essay to avoid it becoming compartmental and instead should demonstrate how each part helps to build our professional practice.
An interesting point was made in reference to the various Skype calls and learning activities throughout this module being like a technique class before performing a solo. I think that this is a great way to view my learning over the last few weeks and helps me continue to spend time researching and looking into further activities that will assist me along the journey of my degree.
