Reflection on Technical Communication 1

At the beginning of this trimester when I discovered there is a module which is very similar to some English module, I was totally freaked out by it because of my poor English language skills. As time pass by, and by the time I received my grade for "Product Summary and Analysis Draft 3", I was quite happy that somehow I manage to pass by a bit since I was always failing my English language module. Through out this module, I have a better understanding of the communication skills of how and what to do.

Through this module I was able to learn how to write a decent formal letters and reports. As I was not taught on how to do a proper citation, I always put all the reference link at the bottom of the report thinking that is the way to do a proper citation. I was having lots of problem in writing my product analysis as we need to put in text citation and the citation 6th edition apa style.  For the presentation, I have learned that you do not need words on the slide to present, picture can be interesting and can capture the audience if used right. Powerful and interesting presentation, from the start must have a good and powerful beginning, and the ending must be impactful because the audience tend to remember the starting and ending the most instead of what is in between.

Coming to the end of this module, I am very thankful for the time and effort our professor have put in to help us out. Hopefully I am able to do well in the future.

  1. Thank you, Chi Yang, for your sharing in this reflection. It's good to know that your 'freak out' over the module subsided and you came to realize its value. I'm also happy you found other aspects worthwhile. Your team's research focus was particularly interesting.

    It's been a pleasure working with you this term. All the best as you continue your learning journey!
