Self-introduction

  Dear Professor Blackstone,   I am Goh Bing Zhe from your effective communication class S14 and I hope this self-introduction letter will allow you to know me better. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering in 2020. I have always been curious about the mechanical aspects of appliances since I was a child. I would often disassemble my home appliances such as fans and CD player to observe how the gears are running behind the scenes. I also served in the Singapore Armed Forces as a technician, repairing and servicing armoured vehicles. All these factors brought me to where I am today, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering with SIT. I would say that one of my communication strengths is being able to get my ideas across to my friends/peers when we are working on something together. Back in polytechnic, there were quite a few group projects to be done. I was able to convey my ideas clearly and we did a great job completing those ...

Summary/reader's response draft #2

 The article “How tech can ease the cleaning industry’s manpower crunch”  (GERMii, 2021) introduces SoftBank Robotics’ “AI – powered commercial floorcare cleaning robot, Whiz”. According to the article  (GERMii, 2021) , Whiz vacuums without external help so that cleaners can prioritize on “human – centric tasks”. It also steers clear of obstacles automatically and provides operators “real – time data and alerts”, allowing them to enjoy serenity with minimum supervision  (GERMii, 2021) . With an award winning BrainOS navigation software, all it takes is a one-time setup from the user and Whiz will remember the route  (Jacky's, 2022) . The built-in sensors and cliff detectors also ensure it avoids obstacles with ease. Whiz also has an effective cleaning system. It can thoroughly clean and cover a carpet area of 500m². With the help of the hepa filter, it allows it to “capture 99.97% of PM2.5 particles including pollen and dust”  (Jacky's, 2022) . According ...

Critical Thinking: The soul of communication

  As a future leader in the workplace, I feel that communication and critical thinking are essential skills that everyone in the workforce should have. I also believe that communication is one of the necessary skills to have in order to be a successful leader. Communication to me, as a leader, is not just giving instructions to my team members and expecting them to follow blindly. It is about making sure your team gets the correct message and understands what is going on. When there is a lack of communication, crucial data often gets misinterpreted and may create more trouble. Thus, it is important to know how to communicate with different individuals. Critical thinking is also important to becoming a successful leader. Being able to analyse and evaluate data to come up with a solution, it allows us to have a clear thought process. This clear thought process will then allow us to convey our message to other individuals with clarity. Without critical thinking, there will be no...
