The Finale.

This is it.

We've reached the end of a semester, and with it, the end of an interesting and most valuable course, ES2007S. I know that NO ONE would disagree with what was just said, because form my observation, everyone had something to learn form it, and everyone DID learn - as seen through the application during presentations and mock interviews. There was so much improvement from everyone from the mock to real presentations.

I believe this course has made more of an impact that we could fathom. We might not think it has, but it can only be seen when we begin to apply what we've learnt out, out there in the working world. These skills that we've picked up and learnt over and over again during the course, has been inculcated (to some, without themselves knowing) deeply in us. Why I say this is because, I realise that now, I am more conscious of how I speak to others. I assess myself bit by bit as I progress in a conversastion. As for the presentation skills - those are yet to be seen. Gotta wait till my next presentation.

The group project we tackled was a valuable experience for me. I mean, we've done so many projects, but why this was different was because first of all, I'm working with people I've never worked in teams with before (except Johnny). Second, the context of the project was something mostly unrelated to engineering, Recycling In Singapore. It was a fresh experience, and my teammates were so easy to work with. I guess this was a blessing, as compared to other teams which seemed to have problems communicating.

The entire conduct and process of the project was lively (thanks to Jacinth), knowledge-filled (Johnny) and well-organised (Bernadette). I've learnt the best and worst methods of communicating and information-sharing. Most of all, I've learnt that team dynamics is key to ensuring effectiveness. So many things can be done in the shortest time if the team dynamics are well taken care of. No question about it. (Still, If you do have a question, you can ask me!)

This whole course has taught me well, and I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Radhika for such insight and her love to impart onto us. She has truly contributed to making this course valuable to us. (Thank You Dr. RJ! )
Thank you to all my classmates as well; I honestly do not wish I had been enrolled in another class. This class was well balanced with interesting characters haha. Thank you for the fun and laughter, cristicism and most importantly, for always smiling.

This is it. The Finale. Godspeed guys. :) God Bless.

  3. Hello blogging buddy! You're right! This course has definitely left a huge impact on us and I can see everyone has improved significantly throughout this whole sem and we will apply what we have learnt in this course and continue improving ourselves. :) I'm extremely delighted to have taken this module with you guys and grew closer through this sem. Final year before we graduate! Let's go! ^_^
