Analytical Reflection

-

Reflecting on my presentation during the showcase, I felt that I was able to keep myself compost throughout the entire presentation. At the same time, I was able to project my voice with the right pitch and tone. Through proper practice on what I would like to present and also by picturing myself speaking in front of a large audience, I was able to present well during the showcase. In addition to that, with the constructive criticism and support our team gave each other, we were able to present with such enthusiasm and passion.

Before the showcase, I thought to myself that it would be nice if I was just part of the audience without having to worry on how I was going to sound or look while speaking in front of such a large crowd. I agree that it was definitely nerve-racking just thinking about the amount of people that was going to give me their utmost attention. However, with the strength to fight this sense of fear and the determination to sound as confident as I could was definitely the two things that kept me compost throughout the presentation. After the showcase, I am glad to have been in one of the groups that presented as it was certainly an unforgettable experience.

With all that is being reflected on, there is definitely room for improvement. Based on my classmate’s feedback, I was loud, clear and was very compost with the right tone of voice. The shortcomings of my presentation, was that I kept fidgeting while speaking.

In the future, if I have to ever speak in front of a large crowd, I will always remember this experience as it will definitely boost my confidence.

Formal Introduction

-
Dear Professor Blackstone I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself. My name is Jean D’Cruz and I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) last year with a diploma in electronic and computer engineering. Through internship and the curriculum at NP, I have gained a deeper understanding on electronics and computer engineering. However, ever since I was in secondary school, I have always enjoyed the design and technology classes.  The amount of thought in designing and creating a product of my own in secondary school was something I enjoyed doing . Through the years, I have often found myself admiring at the infrastructures of our society. Furthermore, I have also pondered on how certain structures are built, the design process and considerations engineers had considered in building a structure.   Hence, I decided to take up the degree in civil engineering offered by SIT.  In terms of communication, I have found it relatively hard to speak in front of

Interpersonal conflict

-
Sometimes in a stressful environment, we may feel frustrated, and without realizing, channel all of this frustration to the people around us, which may then lead to a conflict. Last year, during the long break before starting university, I worked part-time at Singapore Zoo as a   photographer. As part of the job scope, we had to also do sales and we had to reach a target amount by the end of the day. Usually there are three staffs stationed at the sales kiosk, however on my second day of work, due to the lack of manpower, there were only two of us.  Before the hectic period of the day, my colleague taught me briefly on how to place an order on the system so that the photo can be printed immediately and thereafter attend to more customers. Due to the brief instructions on how to use the system, I could not comprehend most of what was taught to me. Immediately after this, there was a huge group of tourist who came to view their photos and when I had to placed an order I ha
