SECTION A: REFLECTION
Question 1: My reflection on my lowest mark.
Academic writing, it is not even a fearsome word, but the chills it gave me turned into my lowest mark of 80% for assignment three. In this assignment we had to write an essay on a topic presented and I chose topic one, “The over dependence on technology has resulted in students losing the ability to think independently” UNISA, 2016 (Placeholder1).

Kenneth W. Thomas and Ralph H. Kilmann (2010) wrote the “Tomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument” report.

This report gives a baseline of suggestions on how to manage conflict, it should be noted this report is only based on managing conflict and not
