Final reflection on learning!!! :)
The following is a list of skills I have learnt from this module.
1. Time management
I had several assignments due concurrently for this module. I had to learn to manage my time effectively to meet these deadlines in addition to the projects I was working on for other modules. Most importantly, I had to turn up on time for meetings, and complete my part on time. This is important as it shows respect to my team members.
2. Working as a team
I learnt to listen more to the ideas my team members brought up instead of directly refuting them. Here learning to be patient was important.
3. Presentation skills cum persuading skills
Learning to present effectively is not easy and this module has given me ample opportunities to brush up on these skills. I learnt about gestures and rules for creating good presentation slides. It is almost always good to deliver all messages to the audience with a attention getter.
However, I feel I did not learn the art of persuasion well. I feel my presentation was mainly informative. I feel I need a more booming voice, and my points to stand out loud letters on the slides. Bringing in props to illustrate our points further could have helped. For instance we could have set up the Facebook page we suggested in our solutions.
4.Writing skills
I felt my teammate are excellent writers in that they could express their ideas well. Though, I suggested ways to improve the writing, I did not write as much. However, I became more familiar with how a proposal should be written.
Overall, I feel I have put in my best for all assignments. I tried to change my shortcomings by taking the feedback I recieved into account. I thank my classmates and teacher Mrs. Gan for being supportive! :)

Hi Meena,
ReplyDeleteI think this was a very well written organised final reflection on the module! Haha I definitely see some of the communication principles used in your reflection.
I think that you have improved as a communicator throughout the course of this module and that your final oral presentation was very good! I think that there is definitely room for all of us to improve our persuasive skills even after this module has ended as long as we continue to apply the principles taught to us in class.
I wish you all the best for your future endeavors! See you around in school!
Cheers
