Throughout this trimester, critical thinking and critical reflection have helped me improve my self-evaluation, presentation skills, and critical thinking skills. Through my professor’s seminars and constant interaction with my peers, I learned that critical thinking fosters independence. Critical thinking helps you become more self-reliant.

With improved self-evaluation, my ability to evaluate myself more critically is improved. Critical reasoning and logical arguments aid in accurately reflecting my own ideals and decisions. I also learned that critical thinking improves language and presentation skills. By exercising critical thinking, I can s...

Summary Reader Response Draft 4

Ash’s article “Floating Solar Panel” (2022) educates the readers about the pieces of equipment, features, and functions of a floating solar panel system. “Floating solar panels are PV modules mounted on platforms that float on water reservoirs, lakes, and where conditions are right seas and oceans” (Ash, 2022). Photovoltaics or floating photovoltaics are the alternate names for floating solar. It describes any solar array that floats above the water. Solar panels are attached to buoyant constructions, which keeps them floating on the water's surface. Floating solar integrates maritime and renewable energy technology. The PV cells of a solar panel absorb energy from the sunlight as the sun shines on it. Through underwater wires, these floating solar panels transmit electricity to a transmission tower. The solar panel system is made up of a solar module, anti-rust material, vertical and horizontal frames, a buoyancy body, an inspection footrest, and module mount assembly (solarsquare...
