Final Reflection

Phew, am I glad that we’re given a chance to write a final reflection! There were so many things I wanted to say during the 2-minute sharing session on our last day with Ms Lim but I had to rush off to my exam. Pardon me if I was looking stressed too!

I feel that this module is really different from other modules in NUS as it imparts us with life skills such as communication, writing formal letters, job interviews and oral presentation. Along with the many projects with classmates, this module further helped me in managing interpersonal relationships. Taking this module has really been very productive as I can now put the skills learnt to good use in future.

I especially liked the activities done during class because interestingly, very often the main aim of the activity is not the activity itself, but to discover the way we interact with one another. This allows us to understand ourselves and others better, which is important so we can work well with each other. From the projects, I have also learned how to adapt my own working style to complement that of my classmates’ and bring the best out of one another. It is really a fruitful experience as I got to work with different people for class activities, peer teaching and the proposal. With Ms Lim’s constant scrutiny and constructive criticism of our writing and survey questions, it is really helpful as I can now write with better clarity and design unbiased questions.

Blogging is another unusual aspect of this module. It trains our writing and commenting skills which is effective in letting me take note of my 7Cs. It has also improved my analytical skills having instructed to write on a particular topic. This module has been really comprehensive in building our skills and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

I am thankful too for a very encouraging, personable teacher and friendly classmates, all of whom contributed to a pleasant and exciting learning journey. :)
