Critcal Reflection on Effective Communication Module SIE 2016

HOORAY! First trimester has comes to an end.

Many students would think that this blogpost is our last assignment of the effective communication module SIE2016.  I wouldn't call it the last as I still have many writings (e.g. reports, emails, blog updates, letters) in my way for me to complete in the near futures during my school or career's life. Ask ourselves this question: who will keep this effective communication blog alive after this post? I bet many will abandoned it. However, the only way for me to improve on my writing skills is to continue to write, read, learn from mistakes and refine on the 7C's of writing techniques.

I appreciate and treasure every sessions of communication modules back in my tertiary polytechnics and university education. Just to share my EC module grades obtained during my polytechnics education:

Writing and Oral Presentation -------------------------- B+
Introduction to Effective Communication ----- C+
Organisational Communication ------------------------- A
Career Communication ---------------------------------- B+

I have never reflected on any of the communication modules completed above.
SIE2016 has taught me one of the SIT-DNA, to be able to Learn, Unlearn & Relearn. As I am more of a listener than a speaker, the module allows me to speak in front of the class to overcome my fear of presentation. Constructive feedbacks provided mainly from the tutor allows me to improve on my presentation skills. Overall, the module, which equipped the students with the communication skills, is useful and meaningful.

In my previous blogpost, I thanks my peers for the wonderful sessions. In this post, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my tutor, Ms Lim,  for guiding, assisting and providing constructive feedbacks timely for me to improve on the presentation and technical report.
