My reflections...

Having heard from people who have taken this module before about the “famed” workload, I was quite hesitant about signing up. The module did prove to be heavy, but not without the rewards that come at the end.

Time really flies. Looking back on this journey, it had been one that was full of ups and downs, hard work and sacrifice (to a certain degree). But all this does come to bear fruits. Together with my new-found friends, I had learnt and incorporated the 7Cs into my daily work. My communication skills were also improved throughout the course of this module. I particularly enjoyed the interaction in the class, with everyone giving an opinion or two in a bid to help others improve with the feedbacks. The feedbacks offered an avenue to reflect on our performance.

The highlight of the module was the presentations, where we had to display our knowledge and eloquence on our chosen topics in the peer teaching sessions and oral presentations. I picked up several useful pointers from Ms Lim and the class that will serve me well, more so for this semester as I have other modules that require presentations. As a teacher-to-be, presentation skills are also a must to help in delivering my content to students. And yes! I will remember the 6 x 7 rule!  The mock interviews helped in reflecting on the way i present myself during interviews. Though never a shy person, I do come across as brash at times, something that I need to work on.

Last but not least, the summation of the module that culminates with the submission of the proposal. One of my reasons to take up the module was to learn how to write a proposal. And learning to write a proposal I did. From the problem statement, interviews and questionnaire, the team ploughed through, supporting each other throughout the whole process. I must really say my thanks to them for making this tough journey a little easier.

Once again, many thanks to Team Bookies and the class for making this semester memorable.
