Critical Reflection

       When I knew I had to take up effective communication during my first trimester, I was quite scared. The thoughts of essays and presentations just send shiver down my spine. And yes, it was that bad. Due to the fact that being a grown up, I still have lots of grammatical errors in my essays and speech. I cannot help but feel embarrassed by this. Despite the fact that I dislike this module, I still went for the class. After the first few lessons, I have grown to love this module. Even though language was my nightmare and I still made many silly grammatical errors, Ms Ho, our lecturer did not despise us despite the fact that we do not have perfect English at this age but rather she kept encouraging and helping us with our language in terms of essays, presentation and technical report.

       I really enjoy every session of effective communication as I get to discover a whole new level of language, and how beautiful it is through Ms Ho. Every assignment was enjoyable as well, as it was interesting. The technical report was an eye opener for me as I get to see how a real technical report looks like and how incredible my team and I can come up with a technical report without any knowledge at first. It still amazed me whenever I come across my technical report. On top of that, through this module I have learnt how to write a reader response and it was my first time writing it which makes it a really special experience for me as it was pretty cool to actually “correct” the writer even when my language isn’t really good as well.  Overall, I feel that I have learnt a lot from this module and I am not too sure if my language has improved but I know I have gain many insightful lessons from Ms Ho on this beautiful language and I cannot wait to discover more. Effective communication has changed my whole perspective on language and I cannot believe I am saying this but I find language more interesting and enjoyable now! 

(P/s: Thank you Ms Ho for everything, the encouragement and the constant smile that made our lessons more enjoyableJ I really enjoyed your lessonsJ.)
