Critical Reflection on Project Learning

In this semester, I learn about interpersonal and work communication. It helps me to understand myself and others more as it is always related to our daily lives. One focus of the project is my presentation skills. Despite having several presentation in my polytechnic, I still face the problem in speaking confidently. In this course, I learned about verbal and non-verbal communication. This taught me how to communicate, observe and react well.

Till now I still have the nervous stage fright. I was afraid that I am not presentable enough and might bore the audience. When things goes wrong, I turn into panic state. However, through this module I learnt that there are many ways to react. I have pick up some skills of verbal and non-verbal communication. In the past I used to read directly from the slides or my script and it became boring to the audience. During this presentation, I started to make my presentation more lively and read less from the slides. Asking questions to the audience was a good tactic to get them more interested in my presentation. Now I realize how verbal and non-verbal communication can help improve my presentation skills. Despite knowing these ways, I still need more practice to brush up my presentation skills and overcome my fear.

In conclusion, this module taught me a lot of communication skills and apply in our daily lives. It is important to communicate, observe and react well. Interpersonal communication is something everyone can learn and improve on it. It will definitely help you in your future!
