Paraphrase of Communication Quote

"Commmunication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students' education but also to prepare them for their future careers.".

    Dear Praveen,

    I felt that you were able to still portray the meaning of the original quote after your paraphrase which is very well done. However I feel that there are 2 things that could be changed.

Assignment #1, Submission #1: Formal Letter

I am in your effective communication module for this trimester. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2019 with a diploma in electrical and electronic engineering. Initially, I applied for electrical power engineering at SIT as it is related to my previous course but I was not able to get into it. Therefore, I decided to try out a different course.

One communication strength that I possess is my ability to have an open mind when having a conversation or an argument. What I mean by this is that, I am open to listening to the other person's point of view during a conversation rather than just trying to get my point across.

After attending the effective communication module for the past thirteen weeks, I can now say that I have learned to speak without stuttering too much and get my points across to the audience confidently. Previously, there have been times when I went completely blank during presentations due to nervousness. However, in this module, the peer evaluations after every presentation enabled me to see myself from others' points of view and work on my flaws. I am aware that building confidence is not a short process and it cannot be quantified. However, the past thirteen weeks have allowed me to grow as a speaker. I have learned the importance of linking up my chain of thoughts and not panicking...
