Reflection: Looking Back, Looking Forward

My ES207S adventure has come to an end this week. Although I did not give the best presentation, I believe this is a learning process for all of us. The skill of communicating effectively, either verbally or non-verbally is especially important in many aspect in life – working, academics or even in an informal situation.

I come to realise that writing a business letter, or even a cover letter is never been easier, especially the tone and the words used are different. This indeed comes in handy in the future. Each type of business correspondence has its individual tone and style.

Another skill is writing a report and presenting it assuming that my target audience have read my report. It has not been easy as we tend to present the whole report instead of presenting the study in a more interesting and digestible way. Sharing views and accepting opinion of others in the process of writing the report and later the presentation indeed help to develop the necessary skills for working life. After all, the title of this module is Professional Communication.
