Critical Reflection

 Before coming to this Critical Thinking & Communication skills module, I thought that this module is as useless as the module that I had in my Polytechnic. During my poly days, I did not have a very good experience as I did not learn much and was not able to take away the key learning points as it was quite boring. However, after going through 13 weeks of this module, I was able to learn more about the different type of communication skills such as the PEEL framework, Paul Elder framework, and ways that I can improve in my language and my presentation skills. Through this trimester, I was exposed to many new things such as the PEEL framework, Paul Elder framework. For the PEEL framework, I have learnt the importance of writing it as it helps me to lay out my argument clearly and logically. This helps to ensure the argument are strong by keeping my paragraph focused and ensuring that I have linking points to the relevant examples and explanations to be able to get my point across t

Self Introduction Draft 2

  Dear Prof Blackstone,   I am Nicholas Wong and I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic studying multimedia & infocomm technology. During my studies in poly, I was learning how to program websites, photo editing and video editing which was a totally different course from what I am currently studying in SIT.

This inspired me to pursue engineering as I want to learn more about the different machineries that are available especially about machineries that are related to cars. For my strength, it would be my presentation skills. Even though I have stage fright, I can suppress that uneasy feeling and continue to present to the class. During poly, they emphasized on our presentation skills which helped to improve the way I gave a presentation. As for my weakness, it would be writing skills. I am not able to present myself very well when it comes to writing with which I ha

Summary Reader Response Draft 3

  The Kawasaki H2R produced in Tokyo, Japan was first released in 2015 with a limited amount in the world. Based on the website ( Kawasaki Ninja H2®R | Closed-Course Hypersport Motorcycle , n.d.), the motorcycle has a 998cc inline-four-cylinder liquid cooling engine which has a staggering 310 horsepower. This unprecedented power output can only be made possible through a system of finely-tuned and carefully crafted high-quality components. It has a supercharger which is specifically chosen for its high-rpm performance, as it is incredibly efficient at compressing air while minimizing heat. This supercharger was designed to match the engine, allowing high-efficiency operation over a wider range of conditions that could not be provided by a regular supercharger. Also, according to this website ( Ninja H2R | 2023 | Kawasaki , n.d.), it says that it has a unique set of transmissions called the Dog-ring Transmission which cannot usually be found in other motorcycles on the roads.
