Assignment 4: Analytical Reflection
Though having numerous public speaking
experiences over the years, I still have butterflies in my stomach whenever I
have to present in front of a group of people. To my surprise, I managed to
deliver the presentation smoothly with proper pronunciation of words and
sustained eye-contact. It may seem that I did pretty well, I feel that I could
have done much better as I did leave out important details during my
presentation which were crucial for the audience to better understand our
proposed solution. As such, I realized the importance of having ample
preparation by drafting and practicing my speech for any upcoming presentation.
Despite forgetting to mention the relevant
points, I am thankful that my teammate noticed and mention it during his part.
This small act made me realize the importance of teamwork. Being in a group of
three may be a small number however having three people of different
personalities and character working together may be difficult. I am lucky to
have teammates that compromises to one another despite having different
opinions. With that, I feel we have displayed great teamwork as we have the
essential communication skills required for a team.
In conclusion, one valuable takeaway from
this presentation is the importance of team spirit. It may be difficult working
together as a team when we do not know one another however, with effective
communication; we have soon become friends that share the same goal of doing
well not only for ourselves but for the team.
