Critical Reflection

Times flies and we have reach the end of the trimester. I was happy that I have taken Effective Communication in the first trimester of my university life. Effective communication has taught me skills, techniques and the importance of writing and presentation which will be useful when I enter the working society. One example of what I have learnt in this module is the importance of writing an executive summary as most of the senior management of the company does not have the time to go through the entire report, thus it is important to be able to grab their attention right from the start using credible information and what the reader will be able gain from the report in the executive summary.  For my team final technical report, we did not fully utilise the 7 Cs learned, and one example is that, in the benefit section, the information presented was too lengthy (Lack of conciseness and was not clear). The team should have use table to present the information whi...

Technical Report Draft 3 - Final

Benefits 5.1 More seating capacity and fully utilising it. Based on the primary research and observation, our teams decided to retain the same number of seating capacity in I-Eat and focus more on increasing the seating capacity in Canopy. By implementing ‘Trayble’ there will be an increase of 38.7% in the seating capacity in Canopy, while the seating capacity in I-Eat will remain the same. Hence, the total seating capacity in both canteen will be 884 and the overall increased percentage is 27.56%. The figure below will illustrate the proposed layout of Canopy, which will be divided into 6 boundaries similar to the previous arrangement. ’Trayble’ collection points will be demarcated at both sides of the canteen. Figure 8 shows the proposed layout of Canopy by implementing trayble. The figure below illustrates the current seating arrangement of the normal table in Canopy which are in rows of 5 tables. Figure 9 shows the current seating arrangement in Canopy ...

Analytical Reflection on Mock Presentation

During the mock presentation which was conducted on last Thursday 2th November 2017 with the format of pairing up with another group to present our ideas to each other. Our group (group 3) was being paired up with group 4. Areas of improvements: ·          Facial Expressions ·          Hand Gestures ·          Eye Contact ·          Delivery o     Pronunciation o     Speed /Smooth o     Preparation o     Enthusiasm Facial Expressions My peers commented that I should be friendlier during the presentation (smile more 😁 ). However, I found it to be quite difficult for me as during the presentation, my mind was focusing on the slide and was hard for me to pay attention on my facial expressions. Hand Gestures After doing some self-refle...

Technical Report Draft 2

Benefits 5.1 Maximised seating capacity and fully utilising it. The figure below compares the current seating arrangement against what it would look like with the implementation of “Traybles” in both canteens. Figure 3 shows a typical example of current and proposed seating arrangement in Canopy. Figure 4 shows a typical example of current and proposed seating arrangement in I-Eat. From the figures above, we can observe that there are empty seats in between different groups of students in the same row of table. If the school is to implement the usage of ‘trayble’, the school will be able to fully utilise the seating capacity as the student will only take the number of ‘trayble’ they requires. 5.2 Time Saving Aside from being able to maximize and fully utilise the seating capacity, it will help save time for students in SIT to look for available seat for lunch. The estimated time saved per day per student is approximate 10 minutes based on the survey cond...

Benefits of Implementing “Trayble” X.1 Maximised seating capacity and fully utilise it. Figure 1 shows a typical example of current and proposed seating arrangement in Canopy. Figure 2 shows a typical example of current and proposed seating arrangement in I-Eat. Also, it will help save time for students in SIT to look for available seat for lunch. Estimated time saved per day is _______minutes. Easy to shift the chairs away to make space for an event, for example, student orientation camp etc.

Final Reader Response

In the article “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Tan (2017) reported that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be testing out a new road-crossing feature at two locations, Buyong Road and Orchard Road. This feature involves fixing LED strips onto pavements at the start and end of the pedestrian crossings. These strips will imitate signals of the traffic lights and can be seen even during the day. According to Tan’s (2017) interview with Gopinath Meno (2017) “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Nanyang technological University senior research fellow, stated that the installation of the floor lights would enhanced safety of those who are constantly looking at their smartphones as they are unaware of the road condition. While this initiative aims to make pedestrian become aware of road safety, more publicity will be needed to educate pedestrian about this initiative. Furthermore, I feel that safety should be o...

In the article “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Christopher Tan (2017) reported that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is implementing a new road-crossing feature at two locations which involves fixing LED strips onto pavements by those pedestrian crossings. These strips will imitate signals of pedestrian crossings and can be seen throughout the entire day. According to an interview by the author, Gopinath Meno (2017), senior research fellow of Nanyang technological University, stated that the installation of the floor lights would enhance safety of those who are constantly looking at their smartphones as they are unaware of the road condition. While this initiative aims to make pedestrian become more aware of road safety, more publicity are needed to educate the pedestrian about this initiative. Furthermore, I feel that safety should be our own responsibility and by instilling this mindset, it should be more effective than implementing safety ...
