Final Reflective Report

Before attending the Effective Communication classes, I have always find it difficult to present myself in front of a group of audiences, for instances, my choice of words, body language and stage presence.

Through this module, it provides a learning platform for students to improve on their presentation skills as well as contributing and receiving constructive feedback so as to better our oral and writing skills. The peers and instructor feedback allows the student to participate actively while gaining knowledge through the discussions. The peer appraisal will highlight the strength and weakness of your presentation skills. Thus, providing a very holistic overview of your performance, for us to learn from one another.

Throughout the module, we were tasked to write a reader response, proposal and technical report. The multiple writing assignments aims to polish on our writing skills where Ms Lim and peers will give constructive feedbacks for us to reflect and to improve on.  Furthermore, the peers feedbacks provide a more variety of opinions for me to take into consideration.

Apart from writing practices, the oral presentation practices allow me to hone my presentation which helps me to perform better on my actual presentation. I am now capable to identify the scenario and choose my tone of speech specifically catered to the audience group. 

Through all this experiences, I am now able to effectively construct my thoughts into sentences which aids my communication skills. Additionally, through the peer and instructor feedback, I have learned to contribute critical and constructive feedback to my peers. This allow me to accurately identify our mistakes and improve from our weaknesses. I am grateful to had underwent this module for it has prepare me with the innate ability to effectively communicate in my future work life.
