Final Reflection- #6

Weeks have sped past and now it's time to bid goodbye to fellow classmates, lecturer and the wonderful tutorial classes which I look forward to each week. I have learnt a lot from this module, especially writing according to the 7Cs principle, formal business writing such as application letter and resume. More importantly, the soft skills such as interpersonal and communication skills honed during this period is priceless. I especially value the constructive feedback that my coursemates have given me on my blog posts and during class activities. Those were honest and sincere feedback which I value and probably will not be able to get elsewhere.

Indeed, the experience of being in a small class of 12 makes learning very effective, furthermore the close bonding within the peer teaching and research project team is something unique to this module. As I have realized, new friendship is a bonus that this module has given me aside from the writing practices and the presentation experience I have gathered.

More importantly, the feedback from my tutor- Ms. Goh is very constructive and encouraging. With her kinds words and honest opinions, I am able to work on my weaknesses and move a step closer to becoming an all-rounder in not just communicating with others but also becoming a confident presenter.

With joyful memories and gratitude to Ms. Goh, I shall end off my blog post here. It is a pity that this will be the last time I post and see comments to my blog (haha), but I believe what everyone has learn from ES2007S will stay useful for life.
Wishing everyone the best for their future endeavors!

Evaluation of Oral Presentation- #5

The Oral Presentation (OP) was quite an experience and it was good to see everyone’s effort pay off. However, there are definitely areas of improvement to be worked on. For my part, I am proud to have delivered the survey results analysis with good eye contact, a voice louder than usual and correct intonation to highlight main points. However, I regret having appeared jittery at the beginning because I could not get the right word to use and I even used repetitive words due to my tendency to re-emphasize on main points. Furthermore, owing to my concern for time limit, I spoke faster than expected but thankfully I became more confident subsequently.

At the end of it, I do find the presentation persuasive especially with the supporting evidence which was put across forcefully to emphasis on the current concern of FOE students thus the need for our module. The data collection and survey results analysis took the team a lot of effort and our proposed ideas were separated into different categories to better the suit the needs of the students as well as to address the different module structure the NUSEU may prefer to offer.

During the presentation, we have brought up several points in an attempt to address the concerns regarding budget, duration etc. of the implementation of the module. The biggest pity is that we exceed the time limit by a fraction which made our presentation appear draggy. Overall, everyone managed to put across the main points of the proposal in an analytical and persuasive manner.
