Self Assessment (Student Participation)

Dear Professor,

Throughout this course, I have demonstrated consistent commitment to excellence, as detailed in the rubric for "Excellent" participation. I have been punctual, with the exception for the first lesson where unforeseeable circumstances led to a delay and of which I have since taken measures to prevent history from repeating itself. I hope that my enthusiasm for participation has also been evident since I actively engage in all class and group discussions, contributing well-considered ideas from time to time. My attendance record is impeccable as well, standing at 100%, which underscores my dedication to the course. I consistently strive to put forth my best effort, while standing firm by my authenticity and goals. With each lesson, I seek to improve from my previous performance, treating every class as an opportunity to learn and improve. I respectfully submit that my actions and attitudes align with the "Excellent" performance level, and I hope you will agree that my efforts merit this recognition. Thank you!

Personal Letter

Dear Professor Blackstone, I am Khai Jun Wei, a first-year mechanical engineering student enrolled in your critical thinking and communicating module. I am writing this letter to offer insights into my educational background, communication strengths and weaknesses, specific module objectives, and what distinguishes me from my peers. Allow me to briefly introduce myself. In contrast to the majority of my peers, my educational journey is somewhat unique. Unlike those who followed the path of either a junior college or polytechnic, I have experienced a fair share of both. My venture into engineering started out in Singapore Polytechnic, where I pursued studies in Aeronautical Engineering. This choice was rooted in my profound passion for mathematics. In terms of communication strengths, my forte lies in confident and articulate speech, enabling me to present ideas with conviction and assurance. This proficiency has not only enhanced my academic performance but also played a pivotal role i...

Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

  “Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.”   Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) The quotation aligns with the notion of the significance of communication skills in both one's education as well as future careers. In the world of engineering, effective communication holds utmost importance as one is required to shed light on complex technical concepts possibly to audiences of different fields.  From the industry perspective, strong communication skills enable engineers to be quick on their feet to bring across ideas effectively accross their respective fields.  From an ethical perspective, through effective communication, engineers need to harness the ability to raise concerns about ethical considerations in their projects, expressing their viewpoints to ensure responsible engineering practices. ...

Critical Self Reflection

Starting the Critical Communications module, I was sure about one thing: I was good at giving talks. I could hold an audience, remember my lines, and make sure everyone heard me loud and clear. But this class showed me that there is more to it. It's not just about knowing the words by heart, but how you deliver them. I learned about this technique called 'assertion,' which really opened my eyes to how you can talk with confidence and not just recite from memory. My writing got a boost, too. I picked up things like the Paul-Elder framework and CRAAP method and I started to get the hang of putting my thoughts down in a logical and clear way.  At first, I had the chance to be the group leader, but I passed it up to focus on being the speaker. Yet as we moved along, I kind of saw that maybe I had what it takes to be a leader after all. Maybe things would have been different if I had stepped up. Writing has always been a bit of a struggle for me, and this class made me work on t...
