Presentation Showcase Reflection

The module has come to an end with the presentation showcase. Despite my team not presenting at the showcase, it has been a wonderful day watching other groups present their ideas. Watching the other teams helped me to broaden my perspective on current issues in the industry as well as how effective non-verbal actions such as simple hand gestures can be when delivering a presentation.

In regards to the presenting teams’ uses of audio-visuals, I had noticed that all presenting groups use slides that are simple yet informative slides to deliver their message to the audience.

In my personal opinion, Team PES Green from my class has done a good job in delivering their message in their presentation. Even though I had seen them present before, they had done a lot of improvements in their presentation today. The team had neat yet informative slides that they used to be able to explain their points effectively. The members spoke with confidence and were informative about their own solution. They made eye contact and they used an appropriate amount of hand gestures to better capture the audience attention. One speaker whom I felt did particularly well was Pin Feng, who projected her voice in a professional and calm tone to capture the audience’s attention. At the end of their presentation, they did a good job for the conclusion and answered questions in a professional and calm manner.

One thing I noticed is that if the teams had been more engaging with the audience, it would have made their presentation stronger. Overall, the presenting teams have done a really good job. I realized that despite me doing relatively well for my own presentation I still had a lot to learn in terms of presentation skills, and I am grateful for the opportunity to see many of my wonderful peers to have done their presentation. I will make good use of this opportunity to continue to work on my skills.

A New Chapter

Dear Prof, My name is Jorine Ng, and the purpose of this letter is to introduce myself. I am a Year 1 student attending your effective communication module. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in facility management, along with a certificate in psychology. For the longest time, I wanted to work in the built environment industry.  I believed that saving energy was not always about peoples' efforts, but how the building is built as well.  I eventually decided to further my studies in the Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (building services) program in SIT.  Aside from academic interests, I am interested in learning languages. I feel language is not only a way to communicate, but also a unique form of art. I have studied Japanese, and I am currently studying Korean. I also plan to pick up American Sign Language one day. With regards to my communication skills, I would say that I am confident in my ability to speak to people. I have no qualms starti...

(Finalized) Reader Response Draft #4 : "4 Ways to Demolish a Building"

Finalized Reader Response: In the article “4 Ways to Demolish a Building”, Rodriguez (2018) states the methods of building demolition. The author also mentions that several factors are taken into consideration when planning a building demolition: the area, the building’s materials, and the purpose of the demolition. Implosion involves the use of explosives, which is placed at identified areas through analysis of the building’s blueprints. The author states the high reach arm method is an alternative and is typically used for buildings exceeding 66 feet. It involves a base machine “fitted with a long demolition arm” that is attached to a crusher tool to break the building from the top. It is safer than the wrecking ball method, which is a traditional and common practice of building demolition. The ball is suspended from a crane and then swung into the building. However, this method produces a high amount of noise, dust, and vibration. The final method mentioned in the article...
