My Experience While Taking The Thematic Independent Studies

I sought for a change in the way I carried myself, and while it was challenging at first, I did manage to attend more tutorials than I had initially attended. The other area I sought to improve was participation in class. This mainly includes asking the TIS supervisor for support. In my previous classes, I had a problem connecting with my supervisors, and therefore, most of the time I found myself doing things I was not supposed to or following the wrong instructions.
