Soul of Communication

Communication is one of the most important skills at the workplace. I strongly believe the ability to communicate well in the workplace allows one's productivity to increase. As a leader, the ability to put your thoughts and ideas into words is an essential skill. One should ensure that his information is conveyed to the team such that everyone has a comprehensive understanding. From my experience,Ii attended a workshop that taught the correct way of delivering the information and I was able to practice that skill during the worksop. From that, I realised that practice is important to develop this skill. As a leader, we should also be humble and accept feedback from others. This feedback is the only way to improve ourselves.

Formal Letter (Self Introduction)

  Subject: Self Introduction  Dear Professor Blackstone I am Zhang Qiyi, and I am writing this to introduce myself to everyone.  I first grew an interest in engineering when I was in secondary school. I found myself loving my physics and mathematics lessons. My passion deepened as my seniors shared with me their experience in Ngee Ann Polytechnic Aerospace Technology, where I eventually took my diploma course. I was fascinated by the things I learnt in polytechnic as they were very interactive. Therefore, I decided to join SIT to further my studies. My personal goal for this module is to learn how to express myself clearly to others. I think it is very important to present my thoughts and ideas to others in a way that they may understand easily. I also aim to improve my social skills to converse more effectively with others. With these, I will be able to converse with everyone more clearly.  As an international student from China, English is a second language I picke...

Summary Reader's Response Draft #1

  Drones can detect hotspots for wildfire, start ‘back fire’ and helps with recovery of the forest. Trees block the vision of the people and drones with sensors are able to capture images of the smoke from above the forest for early detection of the fire. First of all it can detect the location of the fire. Then it can track the direction of the fire. How fast the data is sent to the fire manager is more important than the quality of the data.  Hence, drones should be always ready. Detecting fire early will limit the damage done to the forest. Air reconnaissance helps to eliminate subjectivity in such judgements and to rank the individual sites in relation to the others. Drones are cheaper than manned aircraft.  Drones are more efficient than other methods of fire fighting. Compared to helicopters, airplanes and fire trucks, drones have better mobility as they can move in any direction without any difficulties. Moreover, the drones are flying in the sky hence it is not bl...

Critical Reflection

Coming into the module Effective Communication (MEC1281), I gave myself two goals: to express myself more clearly and to improve my social skills. With regards to expressing myself more clearly in terms of ideas when doing assignments, I’ve realised that it is always best to first keep my ideas simple and focused. For example, from the summary and reader response drafts, I realized that organisation is key for clear communication. I discovered that in academic writing, one usually puts out the main idea, gives three supporting details, and then summarizes the three paragraphs while stating the main idea.In addition, it is also important to think about what the audience wants to learn, know or understand when reading a report or assignment. Secondly, as Effective Communication required us to work in a team and on research projects, I was able to find my voice. Being more introverted in nature, speaking up has always been difficult for me as I was worried of the judgment that would com...
