Wow. Can't believe I'm writing the last blogpost already, it seemed not so long ago when I was fretting over what to write for the first one. I believe the skills that I've taken away from this module would come back to me at one stage or another of my life.
For example, I learnt to be a better active listener when working on the proposal. I feel that all members deserve equal attention for their ideas but some might not be comfortable to share their thoughts. So, by being an active listener, it would facilitate the progress of the project because more ideas are brought up and it keeps the discussion going. When working on the oral presentation, I learnt how variations in tone, volume and gestures can bring the message across to the audience more effectively. Before attending this module, I had no idea that gestures could make such a big impact. I had zero gestures during the peer teaching session but after realizing their importance, I brushed up on that part and thought it made my presentation better! I have to say I thought the blogging assignment would be such a chore but penning down my thoughts actually gave me a channel to reflect and think critically. Plus, I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts, comments and replies. I feel that I got to know everyone just a little more with each word, each sentence and each paragraph. I've not taken a module where there is so much interaction in class and I really liked it!
I hope that we can all keep in touch and meet up for fun, joy and laughter though I think it's unlikely to happen but I'll stay positive haha! Thanks to each and every one of you for making my 8AMs. :)
