Critical Reflection on Developing Communication Skills

In a blink of an eye, my first trimester in SIT has ended. Looking back, I realised that I had learnt a lot of communication skills this trimester, and this is all thanks to the Effective Communication Module, my tutor, Ms Lim, and of course my peers.

With my experience of working at LTA for four years before I embarked on my new learning journey at SIT, I totally understood the importance of having adequate communication skills. Therefore, I was quite sure that the learning outcomes of this module will be very beneficial to me. From writing a formal proposal to presenting in front of a large crowd, reader response and even reflective writing, I felt that I have been fully equipped to face the challenges of future school assignments, projects and even when I'm back at work. While completing my various projects in other modules, I found myself constantly looking back to what I have learnt in the module to incorporate into the reports that we had to submit.

When I first started out with this module, I had minimal confidence in myself to craft a good proposal report and to present in front of the class. However, with the continuous assessments that we were given throughout the course, I have learnt a lot of things from Ms Lim and my peers through the peer and tutor feedback sessions. Through the feedback sessions, I have received many constructive comments and was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. I learnt how to work on my weaknesses and build my strengths.

Last but not least, I must say it has been a very fruitful and enjoyable trimester with Ms Lim and the class. Thank you for all the support and encouragement given, it has greatly boosted my confidence.
