Module Learning Before I started this module, I had a feeling that it was going to be boring and repetitive, like the ones I took when I was in Ngee Ann poly. I dreaded taking another english communication module as my grades for these kinds of modules were usually C or low B. As a result of these grades received, I was not confident in my abilities to write a good enough essay or report. However, a small part of me looked forward to this module as I was comfortable speaking in a crowd and presenting to a group of people. With all these assumptions in mind, I gave my best effort in hopes of improving my written and speaking skills through this module. Throughout the weeks of taking this module, professor Blackstone has always been providing me with valuable feedback on my written and speaking skills which I take seriously. For example, when we were tasked to write a reader response paragraph on a topic of our choice, I was struggling to complete it. I was unclear of which direction to ...

  The article, “Thinking about an Automatic Nutrient Dosing System for your commercial grow? Here’s what you need to know.” (Advanced Nutrients, 2023) introduces an automatic nutrient dosing system. This system is a “mechanized nutrient delivery system” that delivers an accurate amount of nutrient solution to crops. According to Atlas Scientific (2023), an automatic nutrient delivery system consists of a water tank, dosing pump, and a controller that controls the flow of the solution. The water tank holds a mix of    water and nutrient solution which will be pumped by the dosing pump. The two main features of an automatic nutrient dosing system is firstly, the dosing pump and secondly, the controller and monitoring kit which work in unison. There are different types of dosing pumps which operate differently. However, they all serve the same function, which is tor deliver the appropriate level of nutrients and water to the crop. (Advanced Nutrients, 2023). The controller a...

In my opinion, I feel that I deserve 'Excellent' for my student participation grade.  Firstly, punctuality wise, I was late for the first class of this module for 5 mins, however I was punctual for all subsequent sessions. Being punctual to class is important as the Prof's would go through the objective of the day's class in the first few minutes. Being late would mean that I will be unsure of what to do for the day and may fall behind in terms of assignments. I also believe that being on time for classes reflects the respect I have for whoever is delivering the class. If it was me, I would want my students to be on time too. In terms of class participation, I am always actively participating in class by giving my inputs and sometimes being called up to read certain paragraphs. I also listen to what my classmates have to say as I like to hear different point of views because it shows how a person thinks. When it is my turn to give peer feedback and evaluation such as Or...
