SEAM1 MODULE: WEEK 9A REFLECTION

THE DECK FITTINGS

• What new information have I learned from the activities?

In this particular topic, which is the deck fittings I am able to learn,
understand and also identify different deck equipment like for example the cleat,
bits, bollard, chock, pod-eye, lifeline, capstan, camel, rat guards, chafing gear,
fenders, boatswain’s chair, Jacob’s ladder, boat boom, pilot’s ladder, sea ladder,
and accommodation ladder. By reading and analyzing that new deck equipment I
am now aware of how it was look like, and partially how to use it in a real life
scenario/situation. By also reading this particular topic I am able to navigate more
about how every significant thing works in a ship.
Another leaning take –away is instruction show safe and step-by-step
processes related to the preparing, rigging, and unrigging, hoisting, rat guards and
gangways, and use marlinespike seamanship Skills. Though the module doesn’t
provide a more broad explanation about the entire process, it allows me to take a
glimpse of it and provide me a primary knowledge that can be used in the next
chapter of my journey.

• What surprised me about what I learned?

Literally, I am always interested and it never fails to surprise me when I
encounter different/new terminologies that I encounter. Since it literally widen my
knowledge more and let me acquire new capabilities that will enhance me more. It
quite surprise me also when I see photos attach with the module or reading
material, it likewise bring me more closer to the reality since we are in a virtual
setting where I guess we can’t access those ship equipment that are available in our
school.

• Does my work truly reflect my effort?

I do believe that every work I’ve accomplished equates a significant effort. It
really requires a lot of effort to learn, and to do a task/ work that is why I believe
when you do something less effort your work will show how you exert that certain
amount of effort. It really depends on a student/person how he value the quality of
is work and how much effort he/she is willing to give.
