Final Reflection on Learning

Time really flies; 12 weeks in the Professional Communication module has just come to an end in a flash. Looking back, it has been an enjoyable 12 weeks with lots to be learnt. I remember my initial decision to take this module was because it required no final exam. Now, I feel fortunate that I chose this module over others as this module really helped me develop skills in professional communication where I couldn't have imagined before.

One thing I realised was that I wished I could have taken this module earlier though. The module sums up and consolidates a lot of useful skills that could have been used earlier in years 1, 2 or 3. I've realised that many of the points made in the lectures were things I already know but sometimes took for granted during simple presentations or report writing. This class served as a concise reminder for some of the skills that I've already picked up in my earlier years of university.

The biggest take-away from this module is the lesson on branding oneself. I think this lesson serves as a very big reminder to myself as I've been constantly keeping check of my own brand, especially during my active days in my CCA. As a leader, I was mindful of the brand image I wanted to portray.

Overall, I highly recommend this module to everyone in school. If you are looking for an elective but have no idea which to take, I strongly encourage you to take ES2007S because it will definitely be useful to you in the future.
