Final Reflection

Time flies, I find it so true. We are coming to the end of this module and gearing up for exams again.

Returning to my first post, my understanding of the value of effective communication has not change. That was to be able to interact with each other and also enjoy the process, to present myself well and improve productivity level. However my way and value for effective communication have change.

This module had made me become more self-aware in my writing and exposed myself to the different ways my classmates write. This in return helped me gained experience. I liked the blog post assignments. Although it took up a lot of time, it allowed me to know more about my classmates and what they undertook to excel, especially the post on biodata. It served as a motivation and insights on what can be done.

For my group project, I really like to thank my group-mates, Kalene and YuanYuan for being so efficient and cooperative. Working as a group, different viewpoints would definitely arise, that depends on individual efforts to overcome it. I am proud to say, we are able to compromise and work for the best, despite the tight schedule. Good job everyone! Not forgetting our considerate tutor, Christine. Thank you! Through the project and interview, it had helped me better understand UHC and what has been done to help NUS undergraduates to cope with studies too.

Continuous learning is the key to success. I feel the communication skills that the module had taught us are very beneficial and I will definitely put them in good use. For instance, the skills were expressing your views in blog, the resume and letter writing, the report and presentation. Group comments on individual presentation skills were very useful and helped identified my weaknesses and to improve on it.

Overall, I have enjoyed the process and do keep in contact! As in life sciences, classes are big, where individuals often only hangout with own group friends. Unlike the chance we got here to work in smaller size tutorial groups. Good luck to everyone exams, happy studying!
