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.

Hi Fabian,
Could see your nervousness during presentation but well, good attempt in curbing that notorious nervous monster from climbing out of you! :))
Yes, tomorrow will be the last day for this module already so hope you enjoyed yourself and gained skills which you can apply in the future! :)
Cheers!
Fabian!!
You need a few cups of coffee dude!! To soothe your nerves during a presentation, swear that coffee wont really work on me, i'd just become a walkng zombie.
back to matters, it's sad that this journey has to end so soon, hope that what you've learnt will be put to good use in the near future.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs

Hey Fabs!
Last time to leave a comment! I actually missed your presentation, but from what you wrote and what Isaac wrote, it seems like you were nervous?
Like you say, it's a learning process, we won't be here if we were professionals! One tip to you, if you really feel the nerves when you make eye contact with people, look at their nose instead, the person will feel as if you're making eye contact, but you won't feel as nervous!
This being the last week, I just want to say that it has been my privilege to have crossed paths with you. Have more faith in yourself, you deserve more credit than you actually think! Especially during interviews! You have my vote of confidence!
