Critical Reflection
For the
start of the module, my goal for this module is to break out of my comfort zone
and improve myself as a better person in overall and able to communicate well
with people regardless of them being stranger or not. I was inspired by
Professor Brad on his speech during his module introduction during our SIT
exemption talk when he emphasis on communication skills. It is a blessing that I
can go through this module with his guidance which allows me to appreciate and
improve on my communication skills, report writing and presentation. Professor
Brad have tried to bring all of us out of our comfort zone by making the
students to read the slides out loud in the small class. As we get more comfortable
reading out in a small class, this slowly brings us more confidence in our
presentation. I am thankful to Professor Brad and my classmate for being
supportive and giving constructive feedback during mock presentation which
allow me to notice my mistake and guide me on it which allows me to give a
final presentation that I can be proud of. This module allows me to appreciate
the beauty of communication skills which will be essential for my future.
My team
and I have faced many challenge for the research project as we had to rethink
of our project idea and the focus point of our project due to many reasons such
as the feasibility of the project and the creativity of the project. We
constantly faced the problems mentioned above which waste a lot of our time. After
we have decided on our research topic, our project is going smoothly as our
leader did his best to set a timing for us to meetup and assign a task to be
done before the meeting. Thankfully, all the members including myself did our best
to do our part before we meet so that we have progress in our project. During
the meeting, we will always review what we have done and goes through the
report to ensure that everything we wrote have a flow and it make sense. Each
person in the team have their own set of thinking which allows us to read the
report from different perspective and allow us to correct the mistakes in grammar
or sentencing.
In conclusion,
I believe everyone in the team is important as they have a role to play with,
and I believe that my goal of breaking out of comfort zone and improving my
communication skills have been achieved with the help of Professor Brad and my
fellow classmate.
