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!

Hello Alfred,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you have gained so much from the module. It is heartening to see that you have put in so much effort to correct your weaknesses such as grammar. I am sure your efforts will be rewarded. Never give up and continue to perfect your language skills. You can do it!
On a side note, I have noticed a few grammatical errors in your blog post, maybe you would like to amend.
'As I am still in (at) the start of my university journey, ...'
Nevertheless, we all make errors including myself. I thank you for helping me through this module as well. It was enjoyable being your classmate. All the best !
Hey Shaun! Thank you for your constructive feedback. Yes I agree with you, we will eventually be rewarded as long as we put in our effort!
DeleteNicely spotted there on my mistake! I overlooked on the grammar mistake I made over there. I will make the necessary amendments on my blog.
All the best and looking forward to our next trimester together! Cheers!
Hey Alfred!
ReplyDeleteI'm Glad you learnt a lot though this module. Like what you say, we reap what we sow, so long as we work hard, it will be reflected on our report :') though I didn't get the opportunity to work with you, but I look forward to working with you in the near future! Meanwhile, have fun in Bangkok! Merry Christmas and a happy New year to you 🎉
Hey Ling Yi! Thank you for your comments! Yea, I always believe hardwork will always pay back somehow~ Don't worry, we still got many chances in this course to work together! Looking forward to work with you too! Alright! Enjoy trimester break too. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! ��
DeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome working with you this trimester on multiple projects. I believe that both of us had many opportunities to improve on our report writing skills (You know what I mean). I believe that proof reading each other's segments on the report defiantly helps in spotting the potential mistakes, because, you think its right thats why you wrote it in such manner, maybe someone else might have a better suggestion on how the segment could be written better. Really appreciate all the late night spent reading through my segment!
Have a great time in Bangkok! Don't come back a father!

DeleteThank you!
