Performance on Student Participation

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 Oral Presentation Feedback, I would give my honest opinion and provide constructive feedback as I want my classmates to improve.

Assignments wise, I strive to submit my best work and always adhere to the deadline, never submitting assignments past deadlines. Even though English is not my strongest subject and an English module is certainly not what I look forward to, I put my best effort in all the assignments that are given. Whenever I receive grades on each assignments, I will clarify and ask for feedback on how I can do better. Hopefully you have seen the effort that I have put in for my Oral Presentation and Technical Report.

Ending off, I would like to thank Professor Blackstone for his patience in teaching us, his teaching methods are certainly unique, making classes fun and engaging.

Formal Introductory Letter

Formal Introductory letter Dear Prof Blackstone, The purpose of this letter is to formally introduce myself and provide some background information. My name is Shaun, and I am a first year Mechanical Engineering student. I graduated from Ngee Ann polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering and a minor in business management. Having taken design and technology as an O-level subject in secondary school, I learned to identify design problems. I was thrilled to identify one and come up with a prototype to potentially solve the problem. I came up with a fine motor skill toy that would enable toddlers to safely develop their motor skills. Through this journey, I enjoyed the time spent in workshops building my prototype from scratch and I developed an interest in creating useful items and eventually a passion for mechanical engineering. One of my strengths in communication is my respect for the person speaking, regardless of who they are. I would always allow the person speaking to...

Contribution to Technical Report

 List of contributions for research and report. Used ChatGPT to come up with a suitable team name, with the prompt "Team name examples related to smart shopping carts". We chose CartGenius Crew because it sounded right and has a nice rhyme to it. Researched on existing smart shopping carts by googling "smart carts in 2023" and "popular smart carts". I found over 10 different smart carts but narrowed down to 2 that I felt were more useful and interesting, which are Veeve and Cust2mate. I then Summarised each cart's features and functions and how they improve shoppers shopping experience. Wrote the introduction and background paragraph of the report, focusing on whether there is a need for a smart shopping cart. Conducted primary research by interviewing my classmate, You Cong on his experience working in a warehouse. Give the group direction by giving suggestions on improvements that can be made to the Smart shopping cart. Editing the report to make it ...

Interpretation of quotation

“Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every  graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for  obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.”  Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,  Professors of Communication (2000) Communication is not only important in pitching to our bosses why we deserve the job, it is also important in maintaining successful job performance. Communicating with colleagues well can lead to higher work productivity as everyone is on the same page. Good communication can also lead to more opportunities in the workplace as the graduates can articulate their ideas to employers well.
