Final Presentation

I like this module as is it not any ordinary modules that involve memorizing. It is more of learning how to do it, learning from your mistake and making improvements (which I personally feel that learning should be like that) and also experiencing it. This module is also very informative, enlightening, useful and practical. I learned how to present myself, my thoughts and work more professionally. 

In the first lesson, I learned the 7 Cs. I think it is very important and should be applied in every area and everyday life, for example when you are speaking, doing presentation, writing letter and proposal, etc. as they help to reduce “noise”. 

Through peer teaching, I learned how to be more daring, accepting more ‘out of the box’ ideas- conducting a practical session. I also learned good relationship with members aid in teamwork and it shows unconsciously.

Blogging allows me to think and evaluate my points as I pen down my thoughts. It also forces me to be concise and clear as we have word limit. In addition, it allows us to comment on classmates’ blogs which also encourages us to evaluate and analysis. 

Reading expression is also something I learned, which is essential. I learned how people react when they feel angry, upset, uncomfortable, ect., and how we should react in response. In addition, I learned how to manage them when I am feeling emotional too so that people around me would not be affected negatively. 

All in all, it has been a pleasure to have an amazing teacher and 10 awesome class mates. I would like to thank Ms Fazilah and classmates as learned a lot from them. 

Thank you and all the best!

Reflection on Oral Presentation

I think that most students do not like to do oral presentation as it is rather demanding. It requires much confidence, knowledge on the presentation topic, charisma, logic, good slides, visual/ audio aids, etc. However it is inevitable, so I would rather that we take them positively, making every presentation an opportunity as well as challenge to practice, improve and prefect our presentation skills. 


For the URA's presentation, specifically, I think that my group make good use of visual aids, was rather persuasive, the flow was smooth and  there was good teamwork. And of course, we made mistakes, I could have placed myself in a better position when Alvin's was having his turn and I could be more calm when Greg signed that there was 5 minutes left.


Generally, some of the positive points that I think I have is that I make sure that I know the content of my presentation very very well so that I minimize the possibility of "blank out". Also, I try to make the slides helpful for me and my audience. The slides should be able to help me recall my script and allow my audience to follow. However, I still have many weaknesses which I wish to conquer. Just to name two, I am not confident enough to do away with the script and I lack charisma that good presenters have.


A way that (I think it is rather useful) we can improve our presentation is to critique and evaluate other people's presentation. Learn their good points and avoid making the same mistakes.
