When I first signed up for this course, I was a little apprehensive. At first glance, I thought it was a very rigid and boring module. However, after the first lesson, I had a very different impression. I felt that this module was going to be fun and a good experience.
The most important take off that I had was the ability to communicate effectively. I have always felt that communication was the most important factor in all relationships be it friends or family. This module has allowed me to learn more about communication especially with people we are going to work with in the future. Being trapped in the academic world is very different from working life especially with how we deal with interpersonal relationships. Most students learn from a fresh new experience after they start working. This module has allowed me to have a head start and therefore a more valuable individual capable of working better with other colleagues in the future.
Through proper lessons planned by classmates, the knowledge of effective communication has been imparted properly to me. However, this module is not only about passive learning. Taking this to a higher level, what we learned in these lessons were put to practise for the projects of peer teaching and group presentation. Effective communication allowed me and my partner Shu Yi to have an efficient way during our planning for the peer teaching session. There was no hiccups at all and everything went smoothly. As for our group presentation, it allowed the 4 of us, Xiaoping, Jonathan, Yixin and I to have fluid sessions. We recognised each other's strength and weaknesses and put them to fit our roles.
Overall, I feel that I have learned a lot from this module and I hope to be a better person in communicating with others.
Finally, I would like to thank our tutor, Madam Fazilah for her wonderful mentoring as well as my awesome peers from this module for a truly wonderful experience. This may be my favourite module of all time in NUS.
