Critical Reflection

Refer to the goals you set yourself at the start of the course (Blogpost 1). Critically reflect on the extent to which you have achieved (or not) the said objectives. You might also reflect on what you have done, as well as what you would do, to further improve your communication skills.

Coming to an end of our Effective Communication module journey, I have learnt a lot more about communication, about myself and many more opportunities to grow. During the first blog post, I have mentioned that my goal in the module is to learn how to slow down and start to listen actively before trying to speak.

In this module, all thanks to all the chances to work in different teams, I am able to learn more about communicating in teams and with different people. Even though I am constantly trying to be conscious about listening actively first, I feel that I am improving slowly towards my goal. I hope that this can be something that I can do subconsciously and as a habit. During the team project, it was very important that we have to meet up together, discuss on various aspects and communicate. As much as I want to enjoy the process, I wished for my teammates to enjoy it as well. Hence I hoped that even if we have different opinions, we would agree to disagree, we have to be able to listen to each other and state our own opinions without hostility at the same time. This really made great practice for me and my dearest teammates were very patient with me as well, which I am very grateful for.  


I feel that with the support from my teammates, it boosted my confidence greatly, knowing that they are here for me and I am here for them. Even though the project timeline was quite hectic with our tests and other assignments, I am thankful for everyone’s efforts to contribute and help one another. I have really learnt a lot from this module and my fellow peers, I will take all of these experiences with me gratefully and will strive to further improve myself. Thank you for the learning opportunities and priceless experiences.
