Critical Reflection

The goal that I had set for this module was to improve my writing skills. Personally, I feel that I have achieved this goal as I have the chance to write a full technical report and the constantly updated blog posts for this module. Through the report and blog posts, I find myself being more critical of my grammar errors, sentence structure in the passage. Being critical, it allows me to be more careful in my writing skills.  I would like to use the skills that I have learned in this module into my daily life as it can constantly help me improved my ability in my writing.

At the bus stop, she told me “let don’t be friends anymore since you do not like to take the risk with me. “ I was stunned that she told this to me and then she left off. After reading the conflict I had, what is the best solution to resolve this situa...

Analytical Reflection

In my opinion, I feel that team SUN did a fantastic presentation. Their slides were concise, and this makes me easy to read and understand the content that they wanted to deliver.  Unlike other teams, this team had used video to reinforce their idea and this further adds an impact to their overall presentation. Their tone and pace of their speech during the presentation are quite consistent although there are some mistakes in between overall, they did a good job. During the presentation, they have always maintained good eye contact with the audience and there are not much filter and Singlish words being used.  Overall, their delivery in the presentation was impactful and meaningful. Their topic was about wireless charging buses was interesting as most teams did not have any similar topics as them which make them stand out from the rest. Their introduction for their presentation was entertaining that they were able to capture the audience fullest attention. Apart from their am...
