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.

Dear Kristin,
ReplyDeleteThis module certainly provides us with a good perspective on what communication is all about. I am glad to learn about the different ways of communicating with others through verbal or non-verbal forms like body gestures and eye contact. Being aware of how each form complements one another certainly help us to communicate more effectively. It is evidenced through your oral presentation that this module has made you a confident speaker too. =)
Indeed we have learnt a lot through this module and I believe that all these skills are definitely useful in our daily lives.
All the best for your upcoming examinations!
Cheers,
Wei Tian
Dear Kristin,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read about ES 2007S via email, I was attracted by the vast amount of skills that will be taught during this module, especially skills such as writing of formal reports and resumes which I think are really beneficial for us in the future. This is especially so in our working life where our jobs may require us to posses such skills.
I also agree with Wei Tian that this module indeed made u a more confident speaker during oral presentation. Good Job! Furthermore, I am glad that you did not have any regrets taking this module as I myself also have no regrets. I believe all the skills taught in this course will indeed benefit us in one way or another.
All the best for your exams!
Cheers,
Hey Kristin!
ReplyDeleteBy commenting on your blog, I have completed my quest of commenting on everyone's blog at least once!
Anyway, I think it's good that you have learned a lot of things from this module. The fact that you are taking this module in year 2 means that you could go on and use the skills that you have learned such as report writing when you take up other arts and business modules. Then you can show them that science students are just as good if not better than them!
That's all and good luck for everything!

Dear Kristin,
ReplyDeleteTime sure flies when one is having fun! :) I have to agree with you that I have learnt many valuable communication skills that would definately enhance many areas of my life. I am glad that I had taken up ES2007S as it has reinforced the 7Cs that I have learnt in other modules. Like you, writing the formal report has allowed me to apply the 7Cs and sharpen my writing skills. I have to agree that I do not regret bidding for ES2007S as the lessons learnt in this module are extremely practical and can be used daily in my life.
It has been great knowing everyone in this class and all the best for your future endeavors! :)
Cheers,
