1.Module Learning
At the beginning of this module, I have
expressed that I want to improve on my presentation skills and the stumble of
words at times, especially when I am nervous or when I am not well-prepared. In
addition to the improvement in the usage of grammar in the letter writing. This
module will allow me to strengthen my current flaws. Now that the module is
coming to an end, I felt that there is an improvement made in my current flaws,
although not all of it. I can achieve what I am today is all thanks to my
fellow peers, and my beloved Professor Blackstone, who constantly gave
feedbacks on my performance which I can reflect on and make the changes.
All in all, I have learned much stuff from this module such as improving my
language, making the correct sentence structure, correct usage of APA citation
format and the correct style of pitching during the oral presentation. All
these which I am not good at from the very start. With the knowledge I
have gained throughout the past 13 weeks, I will continue to apply it and
improve on even further as I embark on the remaining years of my university.
2. Project Learning
In the project learning progress, the main
issue I face is to come up with an appropriate topic to research on. I want to
come out with something unique where I have yet to explore, which is the topic
of siphon coffee brewing. However, my team and I met with a hiccup such as we
could not decide on the main purpose statement as there are various solutions
we can implement and improve on, a few examples will be portability,
functionality, cost, safety and many more. Due to the limited time given for
the oral presentation, the team can only select a few to research. As for the
oral presentation, I feel I should be the one presenting the development of how
the siphon coffee all started is because I am the one who came up with the
topic to research on, as I am more familiar with that aspect. Therefore, what I
take away from this project learning process is I believe the team should have
a clear idea of what our purpose statement is. This way the team can do a
better job for the oral presentation and I can present more fluently if I were
to present something which I am already comfortable with. Such as the
introduction to the siphon brewing coffee.

ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Calvin, for this detailed, well focused reflection on both the module and on your project work. It's heartening to read that you found value in the feedback you received. I realize that you struggled at times, but I could see that you were very intent on developing your skills and executing the assignments to the best of your ability. I appreciate your keen interest and the great effort.
ReplyDeleteThis post also revisits your project work. I must say that I was impressed by the topic you and your team have selected and by the way you three came together to develop an interesting design solution. With the many questions you and your buddies have presented, I could see that the project had real value for you. I look forward to reading the report later in the coming week.
You've worked hard throughout the term, Calvin, and I appreciate that. Continue to embrace the opportunities for skills development and growth as you move forward on your learning journey.
Best wishes,
Brad
