Descriptive Reflection : Self - Introduction Letter Draft 2

 Subject : Formal Inductory Letter

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,

    I hope you are doing well. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Mohamed Asyraf, Student ID: 2201298, a student in your critical thinking and communicating module. Previously, I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in aerospace systems and management. Currently, I am pursuing my degree in mechanical design and manufacturing engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology. 

    I am writing this email to you to introduce myself and some of my traits and goals for this module. Seeing my father troubleshooting his spoilt game boy with a soldering iron made me curious and gain interest in engineering. As time goes by, I realise that I was doing well in mathematics and physics compared to other subjects, which eventually grew my interest in engineering even more.

    One communication strength is that I am an active listener. I pay attention to the speaker and ask clarifying questions to demonstrate interest and understand the speaker better. During my National Service, I had to check on my trainees individually to get feedback on the training. One communication weakness I often face is a lack of confidence. Since young, I was not doing well in my language. Therefore I tend to get nervous and stutter during presentations or communication with a large group of audience. 

    My two specific goals I hope to achieve in this module are developing my confidence and to be an eloquent speaker. I believe by achieving these two goals I have, I can communicate effectively and lead my team to success under my guidance. 

    What differentiates me from others is that I am not afraid to start and carry an informal conversation with strangers to make the setting less awkward. With this trait, I have made plenty of friends throughout my life journey and also learned from them. 

    To summarize, I look forward to enhance and improve on my communication skills under your guidance and completing this module with a good grade.

Best regards,

Mohamed Asyraf

The importance of Communication Skills

 “Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.” Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000) My thoughts : I agree with the quote stated above as I believe good communication is an essential skill every graduate should have. Communication is sending and receiving information between people, in this case, colleagues and supervisors. I feel that with good communication, news can pass down smoothly and accurately so that both parties will be on the same page.

Critical Reflection

"The two specific goals I hope to achieve in this module are developing my confidence and to be an eloquent speaker. I believe by achieving these two goals I have, I can communicate effectively and lead my team to success under my guidance. " These were the goals I set at the start of the module. Now that I am approaching the end of the trimester, I feel a deep sense of appreciation and gratitude for the valuable teachings imparted by Professor Brad Blackstone. The knowledge I have gained from these lessons is so profound that it fills me with a sense of sorrow to acknowledge the conclusion of the module. In this module, I acquired the ability to deliver effective presentations to an audience, regardless of its size. While my audience may have been small, I am confident that the skills I have developed will prepare me for future presentations to larger groups. Specifically, I learned how to confidently stand and deliver key points, as well as maintaining eye contact with my a...
