After 12 weeks of ES2007S, this module has come to an end. I felt more accomplished as an individual as I have picked up valuable skills which I can apply in the future.
When we entered the classroom for our first lesson, we were taught about establishing our personal identities and brand. This made me think through a lot about myself and how I actually portrayed myself to different people.
Thereafter, we went through other aspects of communication like story telling and creating the perfect resume. (I was in charge of peer-teaching for this part as well!) I was personally very proud to see that my mock resume being used by some of my peers. (Nigel and Isabelle)
Moving on to our team project where we had to describe and propose solutions for Digital Divide within the elderly, we felt pressured against time but prevailed eventually through teamwork and good work allocation. Working with peers whom you knew for less than 7 weeks can be a challenge at first, but to have a balance between getting the project done and team dynamics can be difficult and I think this project is a good way to do so.
In the end, we finished off with a summary of all the aspects of communication and revisited the topic of personal branding. I liked how this module rounded up all the topics of communication with the first lesson of ES2007S, ending off this module with a big bang.
Yee Sheng I agree that we picked up some very valuable skills in the course of this module. These will be very helpful to us in our university education and even as we move on to communicating and presenting at the workplace in future. I also enjoyed our final summary lesson where we picked up some networking skills and did a final round-up of everything we have learnt in the past 12 weeks of this module.
ReplyDeleteWas great knowing you in class Yee Sheng:) All the best for the rest of the semester and hope to see you around campus!
I'm happy that you gained from this module Yee Sheng because even though, in your case, you may not need to apply for a job elsewhere, you'll still need professional communication skills regardless of where you work.
