Final Reflection (Blog Post #7)

Returning back to my first post, instead of saying that there’s a change in my perception towards the importance of effective communication skills, I feel that I’ve actually learnt a lot more about communication through this module. In my first post, I’ve only focus on how communication is vital in avoiding misunderstanding or may even in resolving conflicts and eventually help in building of relationship. However, I realized I have neglected on the difference between oral and written communication, and also the importance of effective written communication.

Not only do I get to understand more about the importance of effective communication, the module had also allows me to know more about myself. Moreover, it prepares me for my job search after I graduate. The skill builders for writing resume, job application letter and mock interview had allowed me to improve on my mistakes and thereafter increase my chance of getting a suitable job.

I guess the most enriching learning experience that I had from this module was the group project for research report and oral presentation. Not only were I able to apply the effective communication skills that I have learnt, I have also learnt about many other skills such as teamwork and time management skill.

Overall, I’m really very glad to have taken such a useful module. And of course, I’ve enjoyed every lesson all thanks to the wonderful and fun-loving classmates. Not forgetting our tutor, who taught us so much and even shared her own experience. I will continue to reflect on my communication skills and hopefully be a more effective communicator.
