Critical Reflection
Module learning
At the start of the, I was unsure what this module expects as I am
weak in my writing skill and presentation. In the first
class, we were asked to do a survey on my peers. I was alright in socializing
but was bad in collect information as I felt alright in my socializing skills. There
was an assignment it was to write an introduction formal letter. It makes me
think about what I would achieve at the end of the module. I want to able to achieve
my writing skills so that I have good writing skills and have fewer grammar
mistakes. Next able to do presentations properly so that I have fewer to no
stutter.
In this module, there were many times where we are required to be
pair up with another random peer in the class to do an activity in the classroom.
This gave me more chances to able to socialize with my peer in the classroom this
also helps me to see how my peer write. As this module requires me to write it
help me to gain more experience in my writing skill. As everyone requires to
post their writing on the blog it gave a chance to show my writing skill to
peers so that they can give me good feedback on my writing. By reading my peer
writing that had been posted on their blogs also help me see how they write so
that I can improve on my writing.
At the end of this module, I would use the knowledge and
experience to be able to write properly and use it on emails and reports.
Having what I learn from this module it will benefit me on my study journey at
the Singapore Institute of Technology and my working life in the future.
Project learning
Technical report project had thought me how does to give a
successful presentation and write a good report. As I'm am weak in giving a
presentation it gave me more chance to speak out in class. This helps me come
out of my comfort zone able me to be more confident in speak in front of
people. When using PowerPoint slides I have been taught not to have too many words on PowerPoint slides and
make the slides to be simple. This helps the audience by getting the main
points of the presentation. The next thing is been taught is how to deliver a
good pitch to the audience. By slowing down when speaking help me think of what
to say and also remove filler words.
Before the module, I put in a long sentence in one point that has
lots of information in one PowerPoint slide or having long text in a slide. As
I read off from the slide as I thought that will be easier for the audiences to
understand the slides. I turned to that having too many words on a slide can
overload the audiences with unwanted information and can be confusing to them. For
writing proper report I did learn to reference APA style when I was in Polytechnic
but when came into this module the APA style had been changed this allow me to
relearn the current APA which is the 7th edition.
The main takeaway of this part of this module has allowed me to prepare
future report writing and presentation in my study journey at the Singapore
Institute of Technology and my working career. This able me to do a proper report
that has the current APA style. The takeaway of the presentation is that to
make the slide simple and get to the main points as in a working career there
may be people who are not engineers.
Lastly, I would like to give my gratitude to prof Brad for the
guidance that you have given me for the past 13 weeks helping me with my
writing and presentation thank you for reading my reflection.
