My Reflections

This module really taught me the importance of communicating effectively through writing. The weekly blogging session every week really 'force' me to pen down my thoughts and reflection for every topic. I must say that this is really not an easy task for me. Unlike my friends who could simply write long and impressive essays without much effort, writting an essay to me its definitely not an easy feat. Being particularly weak in my english language adds more challenge to the task of writing the weekly blog. These maybe the reasons why I don't have the habit of keeping diaries or writing blogs. However, I should express my thanks to this module as it really 'forces' me to write. It is the best way for me to improve my communication skills of writing which will serve to be very useful next time when I have to write long emails to my boss or clients at work.

The survey report took up quite a bit of my time. As my group members are from different faculties and all of us were quite tight up for time due to our busy schedules, most of our meeting were discussed online besides the time we spent discussing during our tutorial class. I guess the reason why we did not get the grades we expected is because of the 'ineffective communication' that we had when we discussed our project online. I only came to realise this until the final presentation when I realised that all our points in the report itself were all not coherent. That is when me and my group members really sat down together in school and reorganized the entire flow of our report through the night. Though the initial 'ineffective communication' really penalised the grading of our report, I am glad that this lesson really taught me the importance of effective communication. I hope that my group final presentation managed to salvage our group project in the end. Nevertheless I am thankful that this module has really taught me something which I had neglected all along.

Well, I am glad that I made the mistake now and its good that I am given the chance to amend my mistake. At least I am sure that I will not commit the same grave mistake at work next time :)
