Hi all!
How fast time flies, so fast another semester has passed. I have definitely learn more stuffs and skills about communicating effectively. Not only, to maintain eye contact for the sake of doing, but also to observe the reaction of the audience and use that to create rapport with the them. Next, will be to use appropriate gestures to capture the attention and not confuse the crowd. For this, I still need more practice to produce better gesture for illustration. Another important point, is to use the 7C's in our presentation.
For the peer teaching, I did not use any que cards, as I feel that a presentation without que cards will be more professional or 'zhai!'. Ms lim recommend and told me that usage of que cards does not means it unprofessional. I should have accept it and not insist of not using for my proposal presentation. During the final presentation, I felt more nervous and miss out certain points, I regret as I could have redeem myself with Ms Lim's advice.
After presentations, I thought that it was bad, as I felt nervous. Surprisingly, after reading my classmates comments, it wasn't as bad as I expected! I kept looking at the negative stuffs I have done for my presentation instead of looking at the positive points! Furthermore, with the help of a recording presentation, for the first time in my life, I can see how I present, which is not as bad as I expected! Lol..
I hope everybody in class did gain some useful insights and most of all, did learn to communicate effectively. One main thing I have to say is this module does not only teach me about communication, it actually help me know and learn more about myself too. This is one significnt factor which I won't be able to do that for most, if not all of our engineering modules.
Good luck to all for finals!!!
Hey Junwen!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly felt so much for es2007s! I can see your passion in this module. You come so early everyday!! FIrst! Im impressed! :)
But yea, we've been team members not only in this module, but in other engineering modules as well. I can see that you've really put in the effort to make those changes and emerged a better and stronger communicator! Good job!
Im glad we took this module together! Let's look forward to the next! Good luck for your exam!
Anyway, I like your "fishing joy" link in the blog. It was so good and i can destress at that site. hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Junwen!
ReplyDeleteObserve reactions of the audience and create rapport with them is something I've learnt too. I used to think maintaining eye contact was just for courtesy, to acknowledge their presence but there's much more to that. And haha I think Asians have this lack of ability to self-praise, we tend to dwell on what we did wrong, what we should have done, etc. BUT that's how we improve! :)
Glad to have met you through this module! :)
Hello!
ReplyDeleteThis module really does help us discover more about ourselves! I think we should put them into good use not only in our future endeavors but also to enhance communication with our loved ones! To perform better at our important roles in life and not ‘throw’ them away, we should put in time and effort understanding each other by effective communication!
