Reflection

Earlier this semester, I wrote in my first post on how effective communication skills can help to avoid miscommunications. Time passes very quickly, and son, we would be approaching the last session of the Professional Communication course.

Looking back at my first blog, I have mentioned that effective communication can help strengthen relationships, prevent miscommunications and improves self-confidence. After attending this module, I have a better understanding of effective communication and realized that there is more to just having verbal communication. There are many different ways of communicating with others, for example non verbal communication, body gestures and eye contact. This module has also allowed me to build up confidence in speaking and thus enable me to communicate with others. Moreover, I have learnt the importance of using a persuasive tone during oral presentation.

Looking back at the different assignment that we have done during the course of this module, I have learnt many things. One good example is the writing of formal report. Prior to this course I did not know much about writing a formal report, and needless to say, the different formats of presenting the data in the report and the effective use of the 7Cs. Through this course, I realise that there are actually different tones, formats and styles required in different situations. This skill is beneficial as it could be used in many areas, such as writing a resume.

These skills that I have learnt during this module will be useful in many areas, and even upon graduation.

Lastly, I did not regret taking this module as I had gained much skills and experience from my fellow classmates as well as Miss Happy. I would like to thank everyone who have made this module enjoyable, and Miss Happy for all the guidance and the constructive feedbacks.
