Critical Reflection - next stage of my learning draft

Critical reflection – next stage for my learning

Even though I have to spend four extra hours on a non-credit module, I learnt how to improve my writing skills, in particularly, the language aspect. Before this module, I did not know when to use a semicolon or when to capitalized certain words. I am aware that my grammar is atrocious and solely attending ES1102 is not going to significantly improve it. Therefore, I would pick up a book during my free time and embark on a reading adventure, to seek further improvement in my English proficiency.

ES1102 focuses on getting students equipped with summarizing and academic writing skills. Being a business student, both skills are considered critical, as business modules tend to require the submission of written business reports. This is especially so for marketing and management modules. Since I am likely to specialize in management, I see the importance of improving my writing capabilities. Summarizing is deemed equally important due to the fact that business reports require students to present information that are of reliable standards. In order to achieve that, students are supposed to rephrase the concepts and convey the ideas in their own words.

It is highly similar in the work place. A human resource executive would be tasked to generate corporate proposals on issues such as policies, benefits and etc. Generally, there is no escape from report writing, in the business sector. The absence of the academic writing style in business reports would inevitably portray the writer’s incompetence, especially so if the writer is a business graduate.

Therefore, I had no regrets spending more than a thousand bid points on this particular class. Brad was engaging and encouraging in getting his students to voice their opinions. Lastly, I absolutely agree that ES1102 should be transformed into a credit module.
