Critical Reflection

Throughout this course, I personally feel that I have achieved the goals that I have set for myself from the start of this course. Although I was good in delivering messages and ideas through the group, I had anxiety when presenting in front of a crowd. However, through the practice of public speaking and practicing elevator pitches, it helped me gain confidence in public speaking. Learning from the exercises in class, I was able to reflect on my mistakes and make constant improvements in presenting.

In terms of report writing, there are aspects that needs improvement.  Realising that I was not a grammar nerd, I was constantly making little mistakes in my report writing. However, through the course, I was learning along the way with proper use of language and sentence structure. This would be one area that takes time and practice and I am contented that this module accelerated my learning process.

Our project group faced challenges in deciding on the direction of the report. There were many ideas that were overflowing and there were many iterations before we produced quality work. I am glad that even though there were difficulties, our project team managed to have clear intentions and course through project meetings and objectives set to clear each section systematically.

As we draw to a close of the Effective Communication module, there are mixed emotions that students have. Some with regret due to the performance they faced Effective communication and some contented with results they received. Nevertheless, through all those challenges we have faced, we reflect on what was done and what could improve as I believe that there is never an age we stop learning.
