Analytical Reflection on Mock Presentation

On Thursday (2nd November 2017), my group and I had our mock presentation. We were paired with group 4 to present our project slides. During the presentation when it is nearing my turn to present, I start to feel nervous and ended my presentation with a serious facial expression, not looking at the audience and some stutter during the presentation. After receiving feedback from both group 4 and Mrs Lim, I starts to think about what I did during the presentation and what can be improved.

First, is my preparation. Due to bad time management on my part, I did not prepare well for the mock presentation. I did not go through my slides to think on what to elaborate during the presentation which resulted on me stuttering during the mock presentation. To make sure that I am well prepared during my presentation, I will go through my slides more thoroughly to know what to elaborate on.

Lastly, is my delivery. During presentation, I will tend to focus on what to say on each of the slides. This resulted on me forgetting to have a proper audience interaction during the presentation. To improve on all this problem, I will need prepare my slides well so that I can remind myself to keep a friendly facial expression, having eye contact with the audience and showing of appropriate hand gestures to help to elaborate my thoughts better.


In Conclusion, I will need to spend more time on the preparing my slides so that I could share about my thoughts better. After the preparation, I will need to conduct mock presentation on my own to build my confidence and to practice on the appropriate facial expression, eye contact and hand gestures for the actual presentation.

Introduction

Dear Miss Lim Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Andy Johanly, before coming to Singapore Institute of Technology, I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with Diploma in Biomedical Engineering few months back. Currently I am pursuing a degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land). The reason for me to change field is because I feel that the land transportation sector in Singapore is growing rapidly and I want to be a part in this growing sector. From my past experiences in polytechnic and internship, I believe that my strengths in communication is that I am comfortable with giving my opinion during a group discussion. During group discussion when I find things that can be improved, I will usually voice out my idea for improvements. My next strength will be that I am also a good listener, I always listen to other person’s idea before deciding on a solution that will benefit the group. My weaknesses in communications is mainly from my stage fright where ...

Reader Response Draft 2

In the article “Floor lights help 'smartphone zombies' keep eye on the road”, Christopher Tan (2017) reported that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is implementing a new road-crossing feature at two locations which involves fixing LED strips onto pavements by those pedestrian crossings. These strips will imitate signals of pedestrian crossings and can be seen throughout the entire day. According to an interview by the author, Gopinath Meno, senior research fellow of Nanyang technological University, stated that the installation of the floor lights would enhance safety of those who are constantly looking at their smartphones as they are unaware of the road condition. While the floor lights might guide smartphone zombies when crossing the road, it is a bane when considering their attitude towards road safety. The implementation of floor light will help to raise pedestrian awareness while crossing the road, but it does not solve the issue of smartphone zombies not caring abo...
