At the beginning of this semester, I have chosen to take this module as I thought it will be beneficial for me as a graduating student, and will value-add me in terms of the way I present myself, and the way I write in a formal setting. I was initially daunted by the heavy workload of the course, as I have to cope with 4 other honours modules along with this. However, I am glad to have chosen this module as my last elective as an undergraduate as I have thoroughly enjoyed the course throughout the semester.
Although I have had to do presentations fairly frequently throughout my four years in NUS, it has never been something that I will look forward to, as my nerves will always get the better of me during presentations. This was also why I have chosen to enrol in this module, as I thought it will allow me more opportunities to hone my presentation skills. Indeed, after the numerous practices I have gotten from this module, I do believe that I have gotten better at presenting. The feedback given from Mdm Fazilah and my classmates have given me a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses when presenting. For example, Mdm Fazilah has commented that I use too much fillers like "erm" when I present, and this is something that I am unaware of! I will now have to learn to utilise my good points, and minimise my flaws in my future presentations.
Another huge takeaway from this module is how to craft a good cover letter and resume, something that is very relevant to me now and has greatly aided my job hunt. I also found the mock interview session very useful as it forced me to seriously think about how I would answer the questions posed to me and I believe I am better equipped to ace my job interviews now.
I got a lot more out of this module than I thought I would, and I would definitely recommend it to my juniors in the future. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for making my ES2007S journey such a fun and memorable one! All the best for your finals everyone!
