SWOT analysis is a strategic planning which is used to evaluate Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats of a company or a particular project. It is also a basic analysis of marketing strategy.

In this article, I will try to do a SWOT analysis, especially in learning and intelligence, and try to think of different solutions to tackle these problems.

1. Strengths (S) :

I would introduce myself as a logical person with critical thinking. I love reading books about philosophy and logic. I truly believe that I can do everything well with a logical mind. If I am logical enough, then I can analyze and tackle problems by step and step. Because of these personal qualities, I am now a member of Chung Chi Debating Team and represent Chung Chi College to debate with other college and universities.

How can these strengths help me on my learning and intelligence?

I believe that logical and critical thinking can help me a lot on solving some learning problems. I am a student of Information Engineering and I have some courses on C programming and computer network. As we know that, programming needs good logic to type different commands. With my good logic, I can finish a programming assignment easier than other students.

2. Weakness (W) :

In the HKAL examination, I only got grade E in Physics. I am weak in electricity and circuits. I love programming and computer network, but I am not interested in Physics. Yet, there are some courses about electronics and electricity. I feel a bit depressed because of my weakness in electronics. When I attend the lectures of ELE, I sometimes find it’s quite harsh to me.

How can I deal with these problems?

I realize this weakness and I want to improve myself on electronics and electricity. I try to read some reference books and consult tutors. If it’s possible, I hope that I can get grade B in the electronics courses.

3. Opportunities (O) :

After entering Information Engineering, I find that most of the professors and tutors are good at teaching. They spend a lot of time to prepare lecture notes and tutorial materials. After attending the lectures, I go back to hostel and study the lecture notes contents. I would consult tutors if there’s something I don’t understand.

Furthermore, as I said before, I am good at logic. There are some courses about computer network and system in the following years. I believe that in the following years, my logic and critical thinking ability can help me to tackle problems, get good grades and have better learning progress.

4. Threats (T) :

The courses in the following years are much difficult than the courses in this year. The syllabus and contents of the courses in Year 2 and Year 3 are much difficult. When the courses are much difficult, it takes me more time on study and consulting tutors. If I am not tough enough, then I may fail to pick up the courses. I have planned various strategies to study and pick up the new courses.
