Writing this final reflection, I am once again reminded of how time really flies!
This course is truly one of its kinds, in terms of the nature and of course, quantity of the workload. I learnt many new things that I was once totally clueless about.
First to mention would be my very first blogging experience. I am now proud to say I can do a simple blog post! Also worth remembering is my first time conducting an interview, together with my group mates. There are many more firsts that I cannot mention them all here though they all bear testimony to how much there is to be learnt from this course.
The emphasis on people and people skills left an impression upon me strongly. In my normal tutorials and lectures, I rarely interact as much or took as much notice of my classmates as I did in this module. Somehow the small class size and the constant rotation of members for different projects allowed for more mingling among one another. This made people more than just a passing face in this busy bustling campus.
As I recall each of the 11 classmates and Ms Goh in class, everyone came alive in my mind having very diverse colours. And each is committed to memory with something pleasant and remarkable tagged on him/her.
Then again this course is not a magic course. We are not communication masters just because we attended ES2007S for a semester. However it equips us with the necessary tools, so that we can continually polish our communication skills and reap the joy and benefits of communicating effectively with our loved ones, friends and colleagues.
Dear Si Xiao,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting and well-written post. You have chosen some extremely good aspects of this module and expressed your thoughts in a very creative way.
I agree with you that this module introduced many "firsts" like the blog post, conducting interviews and writing proposals. In addition, the high interaction with everyone in class, knowing them on a more personal basis as well as with Ms Goh, was the most interesting aspect.
You have very good communication skills and I feel that you can express yourself very well, using the most relevant words to get your points across effectively and succinctly, in writing, speaking as well as presenting. This is aided by your calm composure which does not fail to impress me every single time.
Wish you all the best in all your future endeavours!
Regards,
Prameet
Dear SiXiao,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this module is quite unique. In addition, this is also my first blogging experience with many many "firsts" in this module.
You struck me as a lady with a quiet personality in the beginning. However, you can express yourself clearly with adequate words and actions.
All the best for you in the banking sector. Have confidence that you can succeed.
Regards
Kenneth
Dear SiXiao,
ReplyDeleteBesides agreeing that this module is unique, I would like to say that you have very unique blog post.
Although my first impression of you is similar to that of Kenneth, as a quiet girl, but from your blog posts (unfortunately I did not have much personal interaction with you), I can see that you are a girl who can communicate with "adequate" words like Kenneth has mentioned. That is a strength I believe, being succinct in your speech.
I especially like this part of your blog post,
"As I recall each of the 11 classmates and Ms Goh in class, everyone came alive in my mind having very diverse colours. And each is committed to memory with something pleasant and remarkable tagged on him/her."
People having diverse colours, I was quite amazed by that description because I am too a very visual person, and I know different people have different colours according to their personality. For example, in my eyes you are "green" because you appear very calm and natural :). Then the statement about having each of us having a "tag" to us, I agree with you on that. I have associated each of my classmate with different personality as well.
It is a pity that we did not get to work together on projects, but following your blog posts has always been a thing I enjoy doing very much.
Wish you all the best for your future endeavors!
Best Regards,
Shu Yan
