Critical Reflection

Oral Presentation skills is one of the areas I have set a goal to improve on since the start of the module, given the fact that my lack of confidence hinders my ability to bring my messages across clearly during presentation. In my opinion, I feel that I have made a remarkable improvement under the guidance of my lecturer Ms Lim, as well as my fellow team members and classmates. Over the course of this module, I affirmed that the only way to improve oral presentation skills is only through practices.

Looking back at the mock presentation conducted in class, I learnt more about myself and others with the constructive comments from both my peers and lecturer. Furthermore, I have seen other groups present as well, and it is obvious recognizing individuals who are adequately prepared or not.

In response, together with my team, we sat down and rehearsed countless of times, and it is evident that that we are only getting better with each and every practice. For the final presentation, I feel that we did an excellent job as a team and on top of that, we are chosen as one of the teams to represent the class for the presentation showcase.

Presentation Showcase was a whole new level of experience. Presenting to a bigger audience consisting of professors and lecturers definitely mount immense pressure on us. However despite the pressure, we managed to keep our calm and present our point across. It was a good learning experience comparing the difference between presenting to purely classmates, and a group of unfamiliar faces. In any case, it is of paramount importance to be confidence when speaking, and it can only be achieved through practices. This is something that I will take away with me from this project experience.
