After going through effective communication, I have learned to overcome my weakness of writing my thoughts on paper. I was able to properly finish writing letters and reports by the end of the module. Also, this module had helped me improve my writing skill greatly and I was also able to present rather confidently. However, I feel that I can still work on my presentation skill as it was not up to the standard that I feel that I should be exhibiting. The reliance of memorizing the script that I had crafted is the reason why my presentation did not go as well as I wanted it to go. The most important aspect about presentation is to be very knowledgeable about what you and your group mate is presenting.
I will focus on my presentation experience to be critically reflected. I feel that I was not very prepared for the presentation. I learned that by having a nicely crafted script for my presentation is not going to help me out. It was the very reason why I did not do well. So, I will unlearn the fact that memorizing a script is the correct technique for presenting. I have relearned that the most important thing in a presentation is that you should know what you are going to present. That is the only way to present as you would not be afraid of forgetting your script and breaking the flow of your presentation. This had helped me to become a better presenter.
