Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Setting goals at the start of this module allowed me to focus on how to improve myself using the teachings of this module. This also helped improve my efficiency in learning the critical thinking and communication skills offered by this module. The goal I set for myself were to brush up on my English language proficiency and understand how to communicate better through my choice of words by applying critical thinking.     The many weekly assignments were a great start towards achieving these goals as it made me read more and write more and that helped me understand the huge variety and application of grammar and vocabulary. These assignments also help us apply critical thinking by making us analyse the writings and pick out what is the most important aspects which eventually allowed me to write my summary reader response without a huge difficulty curve. The continuous practice of habitually analysing the different articles then allows us to pick out key ideas with

    University of Minnesota Duluth's article ''Solar Power: A Feasible Future'' (Thomas, 2017) talks about what are solar panels and what are they made up of.  According to Nathan Thomas, a solar panel consists of numerous small cells known as photovoltaic cells (PV cells) "linked together make up a solar panel" (Dhar, Harvey, 2022). These cells are made up of "a top layer of metal conductor strips" "a layer of antireflective coating" and "two silicon layers and a metal backing" (Thomas, 2017). Silicon are semiconductors which are an in between of proper conductors like metals and insulators such as rubbers and may not conduct electricity at room temperatures, only when heated up (Thomas, 2017).      Photovoltaic cells ''converts sunlight to electricity''(Thomas, 2017) "by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity" (Dhar, Harvey, 2022
