Critical Reflection

At the beginning of the module, my goal was to polish up my presentation skills and greatly improve my writing skills. After completing this module, I find myself more aware of my writing style and grammar usage in both school and daily routine. The feedback from my peers and professor really helped me to improve and learn from the mistakes I made. In the spirit of continuous improvement, I will strive to read articles to improve my language use and to broaden my knowledge.

At the start of the project, my team and I faced difficulty in settling on our research project after various feedbacks we have gotten. The topic we have originally chose fulfilled the sustainable aspect but was lacking in engineering. It was not smooth sailing in the beginning, while other groups begin with their report, we were still deciding on our topic. We decided to do more research and weigh the pros and cons of possible topics together as a team. We changed and modified our project topic a total of 3 times before settling down on our final topic. There were times we almost wanted to give up and stick with what we already have, but we persevered. I am lucky enough to have the privilege to work with my fellow team members and come to appreciate the value of teamwork.

I really enjoyed being a spectator during the presentation showcase, having to see different groups share their ideas for sustainability. One team that stood out the most to me was Grayspace. I find that their idea is suitable in Singapore and is tackling a very real problem. In addition, I really like the way they present the idea, as it was more like a business pitch rather than a normal school presentation. It was also cohesive and well thought-out.
