Critical Reflection

After attending weeks of lesson on effective communication, I have completed this essential module in my university life. Throughout this entire trimester, I have learnt the importance of communicating with my peers and those around me. I have also learnt how to write concisely and concretely in my assignment reports which looks more presentable and professional.

Oral presentation has also given me an opportunity to identify my weakness and strengths in conducting presentations, one of the areas that I can improve on is establishing eye contact with the audience. By establishing eye contacts with my audience, it gives my audience the confidence and credibility in my content. Another weakness that I have identified is my expressions during the presentation, I felt that I did not do well because I did n't vary my tone and this made my presentation sound very monotonous and boring. Another point which I felt I am lacking is the confidence in presenting the content to my audience, naturally I tend to use fillers which is not professional and my audience may feel that I do not like my content well enough. However, there are some strengths that I feel I possess which is my pace and stance. Overall, I feel that I can further improve my presentation skills by having more confidence in myself and have better preparation of my presentation slides.

Ms Lim has been an exceptional instructor, under her guidance, I feel that I have managed to improve on my communication and report writing skills. She has been very helpful in correcting my mistakes during my reader response submission and patient in teaching. Overall, she is a wonderful instructor whom I fully respect and definitely an excellent role model for new instructors.
