Critical Reflection

Over the past 12 weeks, attending the effective communication module had essentially benefitted me for both my university life and potentially my future working life. The first take away was writing my email with more courtesy and formality. My email used to be poorly written without proper thoughts on courtesy.

Next will be regarding plagiarism. Being a content creator as a hobby, I am always worried about plagiarism as I may also be doing compilations and edits to better enhance my work. Having lesson on plagiarism effectively cleared my doubts to allow me to make contents with less worries.

Reader Response was one of the parts where I struggled with the most in this module. Apart from being unfamiliar with APA-style Citation, I was not able to fully understand the article without additional reading on other related articles. However, with guidance from my lecturer, I managed to gradually understand the article and was able to write a response based on my readings.

Working on the technical report had taught me the importance of working in a team. Brainstorming of ideas are more effective with peer feedbacks and contribution which helps everyone to generate more and better ideas. Working on the report had exposed me to work with unfamiliar people in which I believe will be a norm in the future. With this experience, I hope that I will be able to utilize this experience to form better interpersonal relationships with colleagues.

Lastly, being able to do presentation in front of the whole cohort is a rare opportunity presented to me. As I go through more presentations, I gradually become more confident and less anxious during my presentation. Comparing my peer teaching presentation to the team presentation, I seen improvements in my presentation. I hope I will do well for the presentation showcase.
