An introduction

I chose to take this module as a means to learn more about how to present myself in an appropriate way whether it is to an audience or in crafting an email to an individual. What drew me to this module was the numerous mini projects that students are required to do. I feel theories are quite easy to understand, but having to put them into practise is quite a different matter. Though the module requirements can sound intimidating, I think I can learn useful and effective communication skills through this module.

I named this blog “one last thing” as a reminder for myself to avoid a bad habit of jumping into the content of a verbal/written message without ensuring the message is concise and complete. Often, I realised I frequently ended up saying “oh yes, and one last thing”, and then proceed to attempt to explain in greater detail. As a result, the person I am communicating with can end up lost and disorientated.

I do realise I still have alot to learn, even from you, my classmate. Please do feel free to comment on my posts as and when it strikes you to. Thank you.
