Critical Reflection 1

“My goals in this module are to strengthen both my writing and presenting skill” This was the goal that I have set upon myself during the start of this module. Throughout the 12 weeks, this module allows me to express myself in an orderly manner instead of just rushing everything that comes to my mind. Exposing to different groups for various projects allows me to communicate with all kinds of different members and by listening to their opinion we can give feedbacks and vice versa.
One of the takeaway from this module is it gives me more awareness of what I have written, even a simple short message I would look twice searching for mistakes, such as grammar or capitalization before sending.


During the group project, our group encounters quite a number of obstacles such as searching for the right authority or department that is related to our project and waiting for a reply to further strengthen our research. By having a meeting and brainstorming, our team manages to overcome it. During the mock presentation to our peers, our team treats it as an actual presentation having countless of rehearsal before the actual presentation certainly do give me the courage and confidence to present in front of my classmates.

Self-introduction (Formal)

Dear Professor Brad, The purpose of this letter is to introduce myself as a student currently in your class of effective communication. My name is Ian Koh from Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land). I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2016 with a diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering. I decided to join SIE (Land), as it allowed me to explore deeper in the ever-changing world of the land transport industry. Due to our country lack of land and resources, I believe that being sustainable is essential. As a Singapore citizen, I had gone through national service and posted as a network specialist. It requires us to manage the SAF networks. The end user that faced difficulties would contact us and that is where my strength as a mindful listener comes in. As time to time, we would have frustrated user calling us and complaining about their situation. In order to have a conversation, we need to be patient and mindful. Proper guidance could only be giv

Reflection in real life (U3 T2)

During my secondary school days, my classmate and I socialize through gaming that will be played till late at night which caused us to neglected all the homework that was given. Having not enough sleep we couldn’t pay attention for the next following day's classes. Things started to change when we failed some of our midterm modules, and our parents were called in regarding our behavior in class. Ever since that incident, we knew that changes need to be made, we formed a study group and consult our respective module teacher for further clarification. We would often stay back after school to recap of what is learned on that day. Once fully understood we would proceed to finish all our homework by completing everything in school we could enjoy our game once we reach home.

Like most of the group that is presenting, they start off by actively engaging the audience by asking some question, by doing that the team has the audience remains engaged and hears the message . By presenting their project in a loud and clear manner it shows the confidence and enthusiasm of the team. Body gestures by all the member move naturally no unnecessary movement is presented. Throughout their presentation all the visual aids are clear and further allows the audience to understand their project, the timing was just right to allow us to perceive what was shown. Technical stuff was also presented through verbally instead of showing in in slides as point form. During questioning by the judges the team manages to handle it smoothly, this shows that their team has done ample research beforehand. After attending the presentation showcase I aske
