The Final Blogpost R.I.P

The final blog post for cg1413! Somehow the semester seems to have sped past and it is already the last week, truth be told i am kind of sad to know that most of our class would be fragmented and split next semester, this semester's class was pretty fun!

I felt that I've learnt quite a lot from this module in terms of communication and teamwork, although there is still much more skills to acquire and hone. First off, i must say i have become more aware of how to make powerpoint slides that are easy for the audience to read and understand, as well as be aware of the little nuances that we tend to overlook when preparing slides like font colour, size and phrasing. The advice given to us after each presentation helps to point out stuff where we can improve on and i felt that this is a very useful skill to know!

Secondly, i think i have gained much more confidence and appreciation of the skills involved in presentations. I used to think that presentations were something that happens instinctively and preparation was not necessary, but as each presentation happened, i learnt the fallacy of my ways. Especially after OP2, i realised that improvisation is an impedance for team presentations and that preparation is key for such situations. I managed to learn how to control my subconscious body posture better as well, from meetings, to presentations itself, i managed to stop myself from slouching, leaning, and pointing callously.

For both my 1102 and 1413 project, i felt that i had a great time working on the project with my teammates. I think in both cases, we communicated well within the groups, worked together to solve problems, challenged each other's ideas with courtesy and politeness, in the end leading to a harmonious working relationship.

Last but not least, i've also learned to appreciate the finer points of being careful with the way we write in any form, all these blog posts have reminded me to be careful with spelling errors, the need for proper phrasing and somehow, the 7C's are always haunting me at the back of my mind whenever i write these days!

In summary, apart from all the presentations and the multiple reflections, i've really enjoyed the lessons, thanks to Mr Stephen and my classmates no less have played a huge part in making the module fun!
