Final Reflection

After the course on ES2007S Professional Communication, it further highlights the importance of effective communication and reiterates my belief that "Communication is platinum". No doubt, I learnt to write better and reduce any barrier to improve my communication with others. Although it is difficult to master the ability to communicate effectively, ES2007S has thought me to avoid mistakes that I should not make in future.

Through the course, I learnt how to write minutes, business letter, resume, and cover letter (p.s. not forgetting how to criticise on poor writing skills). These skills will definitely be useful in time to come.


Other than the communication skills that I learnt in class, the group project occupied the other major fraction of the module. My group project was based on the analysis of the emotional wellbeing of NUS undergraduates and the help available for those who are in need. Although the timeline for the project was hectic, the experience was rewarding. Besides having the opportunity to interview Senior Clinical Psychologist from University Health Centre (UHC), I also get to understand more about the stressful environment that NUS undergraduates face and the barriers that UHC has to overcome to widen its reach. I am also glad to have good team mates like Kalene and Jane, who are both understanding and efficient in generating the report and presentation. Knowing that it was difficult to meet the deadlines but everyone has managed to, three cheers for everybody!

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for providing me with the wonderful experience even though it's an 8am class! Not forgetting our tutor, Christine, for imparting us with the knowledge to excel in our communication skills.

Nevertheless, good luck for your coming exams and hope to see you guys in school!

  1. Hi Yuan Yuan,

    Haha! Your OinkOink picture caught my attention and i keep laughing at it! WORK AS FOOD!

    Like what you said, it is difficult to master the ability to master communication effectively, especially given just 13 weeks. But looking back, we really did alot of stuff from writing formal letters to project presentation. I believed we all improved alot, though that does not signal the end of the learning process.

    Thanks for sharing! (where did you find the pig? haha) :)

    Cheers!

  2. Hi Yuan!

    I like the pig! I want to eat it. :x

    I agree with you that the module has taught us to avoid mistakes and the skills are definitely useful. It is difficult to master effective communication, but we had indeed learnt to be better.

    Good luck to your exams too! :)

  3. YUAN!

    I like the picture with the wall. To me, the wall depicts the barrier between people if there is no effective communication.

    And thanks for the compliment. I am touched when I read it and I am a little sad that this module is over. I have had such a great time learning and classes have never been boring.

    Good luck for your finals!!
