The teaching and learning approach at Taylor‟s University is focused on developing the Taylor‟s Graduate
Capabilities (TGC) in its students; capabilities that encompass the knowledge, cognitive capabilities and soft
skills of our graduates. The TGC gives students the edge to start and stay ahead. The graduate capabilities are designed to ensure that Taylor‟s graduates are proficient and skilled in the following areas:

First is the discipline specific knowledge. I'm able to put use of what I learn in theory in practice. I can also understand the ethical issue in my context of study such as applying formulas of maths at the right question.What I have not yet done is understanding the practical use of the field of study in professional use since I haven't got the chance yet.
Second in TGC is lifelong learning. I always study independently and able to utilise the data and information I gain in the correct way. Being intellectually engaged is a must in going through the daily challenges.
Furthermore in the TGC is thinking and problem solving skills.I am able to think critically but some times not creatively. I should work on more to build my creative side. I can also analyse the problem ahead in deep thought and come with a reasonable solution.
Moreover, communication is one of the important in TGC. To be honest I actually feel that I'm preety bad at this. Besides casual talk, I cant actually put use of it to my advantage. Some times I find myself hard to communicate with others. This is one of many weakness that I have to overcome to achieve what I want in the futute.
However when given a task or assignment, my interpersonal skills starts coming out. Despite the lack of communication due to unknown cause, when given a responsibility I will take it seriously and my leadership skill starts to shine.
For my intrapersonal skills, I can manage my self and become self reliant. I can be cautious of my learning and action I take. While I haven't fully being embodied with Taylor's core values I'll try to do my best.
In the last two of TGC, my "citizenship and global perspective" is to undesrtand the current situation of the world and its communities. To be able to use my knowledge to make this world a better place to live.
And my digital literacy, well if I can make a blog need I say more
