Critical Reflection
Effective communication was the module that I felt encouraged improvement and learning the most this semester. Being a non-engineering module it was a relief from the torrent of formulas and figures. However, that was only after overcoming the initial process of picking up new skills such as critical thinking, technical report writing and presentation skills. Initially, when I wrote my formal letter, I had intended to improve my critical thinking and impromptu speeches. In retrospect, I would like to believe that I have managed to make some improvements in both areas. This module has given me plenty of opportunities to do impromptu speeches throughout these thirteen weeks and while I am nowhere near perfect, I have been able to organise my thoughts better. Till this module, I have never gotten feedback that I tend to speak too quickly, and this might have been due to the fact that my polytechnic lecturers simply wanted the presentations to end quicker. Sorry if that sounded facetious,
