Fig 1：Students and Prof of Group 6
Critical Reflection 1.1
At the start of this module, I wrote that I want to refine public
speaking and technical report writing skills. Through the technical report
assignment, I was able to improve both skills.
It was a joy attending professor Blackstone’s classes as he
conducted the classes with passion and student interaction. I vividly remember
professor told us that he was not a “grammar nerd” when he was young, he
encouraged us that via daily practices we can become “grammar nerd” as well. Since
young, I had been discriminated by people commented that I come from Chinese speaking
family background my English is poor, and I can never improve on that. I am thankful
for professor’s wise words and the constant support from my classmates, who corrected
my mistakes in grammar and sentence structures, has boost my confidence in writing
and speaking English language.
This
module has reminded me that learning to improve English grammar and vocabulary is a
lifelong journey, and I am certain that this effective communications module
has benefited me along this journey. I will keep in
mind the skills I have learnt and practice it in daily life.
Critical Reflection 1.2
One
difficulty my group faced is that my group’s slides were not consistent in
style, leading to a group presentation that looked like four individuals
presenting separately. This made me realized that mutual agreement and coordination
within the group ensures consistency, which leads to a good presentation.
Another
difficulty my group faced is we are unable to retrieve the data information we
need from the facility management team. We need to present some information
based on observation and the survey results. Feedback we received from the
presentation showcase was that some of the solutions are not economically
practical. However, our group feel that the climate change is a looming thread,
and money is important, but it is unable to sustain the blue sea, green forest
and clear air that supports life on earth.
I
am grateful to be part of this group, everyone in this group are helpful and supportive.
With all the feedback back given to me I will continue to improve. Thank you.

Dear Wendy,
ReplyDeleteYou’ve done a very good job in these two final reflection focal points, providing specific details about your module, project and presentation experience. I like how you found my anecdote about not being a grammar nerd inspirational. You also made the great effort for presenting for the showcase, and you have shown a truly positive attitude toward developing your skills within the module in general. I really appreciate all the hard work!
Best wishes as you continue your learning journey at SIT and beyond.
