II. Experiental education
2.1 Experiental Learning
In my opinion, this is one of the most important subjects in my major-scientific management,
because it brought me real experiences of working in different projects.During the subject, I took
part in four meaningful projects: IRepair, IHonor, IGiving and IHelmets that are social projects
my class did together to help our community better. Experiental Learning is a helpful step for
every seniors at their colleges that give them a chance to apply, check and practice all skills they
learnt in previous years. For example, the first project in this subject was Class revolution
project, in which I used well the skill of team work with other members in the project by sharing
all works, asking other for helping, discussing for finding the best solution for problems in our
works. And that skill brought us the highest results, all class rooms and hall buildings were
totally cleaned. Especially, all members in my class were really enjoying in cleaning and fixing
class rooms, halls because we all knew that we did the project together that helped us become
stronger and gain more success. An other example is the skill of making decision and having
sense of responsibility and carefulness in work that I also practiced well in the last project-
IGiving/IHelmet project. First is my class has made a right decision of choosing helmets for
children that costed more expense but ensured the best quality about the safe for children when
they wear these helmets.Before that my class was in a dillema of decision of whether we would
chose this option or not, so it was a difficult and an important decision we had to made.
Moreover, Experiental Learning is a great opportunities for seniors like us to show our social
skills of professional working, abilities of planning and organizing, and get pratical experiences
through its meaningful projects. And the most important thing is by these projects we had done, I
