Final Reflection (Blog Post #7)

After the nasty break up, Jerry took a long hard look at himself, and realised that he has so many shortcomings. The most glaring of which is his inability to communicate well with others. Fortunately he is also a self motivated individual, and driven by his frustrations, decided to sign up for ES2007S the next semester. Time fly by and he picked up many skills and gained self awareness and confidence. The last time i heard, his ES2007S classmate is having a crush on him! =)

Taking this course has further reinforced my beliefs about how bridges can be built and doors can be opened through communication. I've had the pleasure of working with a wonderful project group and being in an enthusiastic class! Thank you everyone! I certainly look forward to coming to class every monday and thursday.

I believe i have benefitted most from the Resume/Interview sessions. I'll hold on to these skills for life! I also enjoyed learning about interacting with different people using different techniques, such as observing non-verbal cues. I must admit, that this course is rather tedious! Given that assesment in this course is based on so many components, i must say that i have encountered some difficulty juggling all the work (with other modules). But in all, i have gained much from all the interaction and coursework.

I would also like to point out that many blog entries by my classmates have inspired me and encouraged me, and showed me many different perspectives. I'm also very glad to have the opportunity to learn from Brad, certainly a passionate and unorthodox lecturer.

Thanks everyone once again for a experience taking ES2007S. All the best for the quiz!
