The module provided a platform where I can work on different writing skills such as technical report, reader response and blog posts. From the start, I knew I had problems with language, grammar and word choice. As such, I did proof-reading repeatedly that helped spotting mistakes on my work that were missed earlier on. In terms of oral skills, I have the tendency to give presentations in an overly friendly manner which caused an impression of not being professional. However, I was glad that the additional peer teaching opportunity allowed me to receive constructive feedbacks from Ms. Lim and classmates, allowing me to further improve before the actual oral presentation showcase.
Over the course of the module, it fortified my foundations on effective communications which allowed me to have confidence in future presentations and report writings. As I am still at the start of my university journey, I will constantly read up on newspapers and story books which will strengthen my language and grammar proficiency on writing. To aid my presentation skills, I will gain experience by watching other professionals presenting through various platforms, such as TED Talks and attending public speaking courses that will enhance my oral delivery in future.
Lastly, I would like to thank Ms. Lim and friends whom have helped me constantly throughout this module!
