Every Beginning has its End.

It has come to the end of the semester which means it’s the end of the journey for ES2007s. Just like most of my classmates, I took this module as it has no exams and it took me only a few points to bid for this module. I decided to bid for a different class from my other friends who were taking the same module, so that I will have he opportunity to get to know new friends and worked with different group of people. And looking back, I did not regret making that decision.

Initially I felt slightly intimidated attending the class. However, Brad being fantastic tutor and having such a lovely group of classmate makes me look forward for the upcoming classes. The content of the module was very relevant and practical. I do believe that I manage to gain much knowledge about the different aspects and forms of communication. In addition, I managed to gain self confidence.

Looking back at my previous post, it amazed me how interested I was in discussing communication related issues. Since the 1st day I learn how to write, writing complete sentences is something that I would LOVE TO AVOID. I guess that explains why I’m in the Mathematics department.

I guess this is the only module that I am not very consent about the grade that I will get at the end of the day. As I believe that knowledge and experience gain from this module is incomparable to the grade that will be written in my result slip.
Before I end my very last post, I would like to thank Brad for all the knowledge about communication, making the class interesting, very interactive and the guidance. And to all my classmates, thanks for all the encouragement and the comments. I had never experience such a class in NUS were everyone was so friendly and willing to help one another. A million thanks to everyone. ALL THE BEST FOR THE EXAMS.

ORAL PRESENTATION

Yeah it’s over! But I think I could improve on my presentation skills. I was so nervous and it got worst when I saw Wan Yu expression while I was presenting. I stumble a couple of times and spoke too fast throughout the presentation. But it took me tones of guts to agree to the group and did a skit. Although the skit was a bit exaggerative, I believe that our group did manage to put across the main points. However due to the humor, the audience might not realize that the humor contains a main point. Overall, I was happy with the group presentation, it was unique and I believe some of the humor remains in the audience mind after they left the class. I hope we did brighten their day.

P.S To Daniel and Yuka, you guys were fantastic.
