Crtical Thinking : The Soul Of Communication

 Due to the complexity of the project, it is very important that the team members are able to gather the necessary information and execute the tasks according to the deadline. Being a leader requires people management, strategic thinking, planning, and delivery. The leader of a project team needs to have the necessary skills to effectively communicate with his or her classmates. This will help motivate the team and deliver clear instructions so they can carry out the tasks effectively with confidence. 

In contrast, students are expected to make mistakes in school, but they are also given the opportunity to learn from them. They can be properly guided by their teachers and peers. But in the VUCA World, people are judged on their first interactions and how quickly they can overcome their mistakes.

Formal Letter

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone, I am Krithaisha Vijayakumar, a student in your Effective Communication class. You can call me Kris as most find it is hard to pronounciate my name. I am writing this letter to you to briefly introduce myself.  I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with Diploma in Aerospace System and Management. I decided to pursue and further my studies with Degree in  Mechanical Engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology.  My course in Polytechnic focuses both on-ground operations and hands-on engineering skills. During my internship with Changi Airport Group, it was an eventful experience as I got to witness firsthand how the ground operations worked during a pandemic. Every day was an interesting aspect to learn in terms of customer service and handling tough situations. But there was always a calling for me to be in the engineering side of aerospace engineering. This sparked my interest which led me to further my studies in Mechanical engineering.  My stren

Summary Reader Response Draft #4

  As mentioned by Kok, (2021) in the article, “Go-Ahead Singapore Carries out 6-months trial of public buses with solar panels”, it stated that the public buses are being equipped with solar panels to charge the batteries rather than relying on fuel to run the engine. It utilizes solar energy to reduce carbon footprint and carbon emission. Kok stated that the panels, weigh less than 20kg, are slender and produce 1,000 watts of power. These are predicted to “save 1400 litres of diesel per bus per year” and it will be cutting 3.7 tons of carbon emissions. Kok mentioned that these figures are based on data from a similar trial that Go-Ahead has been conducting since 2019 in the United Kingdom, where there are currently 18 buses fitted with these solar panels. It will take a six-month trial in Singapore to assess the performance of the bus, the efficiency of the panels in harnessing solar energy and reducing fuel consumption, and the durability of panels in Singapore’s high temperatures

Critical reflection

 At the beginning of this module, I set goals for myself such as being more confident in presenting as I would get nervous and would sometimes blank out. I wanted to understand how to write a proper summary report as writing is not my strong suit. I would look forward to each class as there were a lot of lessons I could learn to further improve my presentation, writing, and report skills.  For my presentation skills, I have definitely felt more confident and comfortable and just remind myself that in order to be confident in what I am presenting I need to know the basis of my presentation. Without any clue about what we present, we will not gain the confidence we seek. When I feel more at ease I can project my voice and make use of space to interact more with the audience. I learned to get a good presentation, I had to research the topic I was going to speak about and write a script to at least know the flow of my presentation. after many practices, I was able to not rely on the slides
