Reflective writing by SITI NUUR SYAHIDA SYADZLIN BINTI AZIZZULRAHMAN 17204341/2                               To be honest, when I first registered for this course, I did not understand all of the fundamentals or the course's outcomes. I assumed it would be a small group assignment that would be submitted once a week, but I was completely wrong. After discussing how this project will proceed with my group members, my vision has become clearer and I have a better understanding of what I should prepare for this course. We named the group 'Nos Amis,' which means 'Our Friends,' because it seemed like the most apt metaphor for our project, which involves visiting orphanages. We decided to visit Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Istimewa Insan, as we would like to explore more about autism as well as to spread awareness. We hold a weekly meeting to keep everyone up to date on the job scope that has been di...
