Review of Effective communcation

Effective communication has helped me to develop certain skills which are important to crafting credible and persuasive reports or writings. Skills such as citation, summary were important to deliver the relevant content precisely and accurately to the audience. This is very applicable to how we can draft an effective resume in the future. The companies would not have the time to go through each section of the resume and thus, it is important to grab their attention right from the start with the help of an attention grabber or credible information to support the resume. 
Besides developing skills, I have also developed the confidence to present in front of large crowds. It was intimidating when I had to present in front of the class for the first peer teaching session. However, I realized that with more practices that I have, the more familiarized I get each time as I rehearsed together with the slides. It slowly builds up confidence as I had a good grasp and understanding of the content that I was presenting. My confidence was not just endless practices but it was also due to the help of my classmates as they gave me timely feedback and comments for me to work on the areas which I had to improve on. I want to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful classmates for giving me both good and bad feedback to motivate me to work even harder to improve on my oral presentation skills. 
Lastly, even though the module has come to an end, I would still continue to work on the gestures and my facial expressions used when presenting. I realized that most of the feedback were about the variations of gestures that I had and my poker face when I was presenting. I will work on these two areas by practicing in front a mirror. This will help me to generate more variations of gestures for different content so that the presentation will be more interesting and impactful to the audiences.
