Critical Reflection

Module Reflection: Throughout this module, I made significant progress in developing critical thinking and communication skills. My goals were to build confidence in public speaking and improve critical thinking by organising my thoughts and adopting a structured approach to solving complex issues. Throughout this module, each student had opportunities to practice public speaking by discussing topics or reading passages, which improved both listening and speaking skills. I was able to train myself to articulate my ideas more effectively, both in written and verbal formats. I was also able to engage in meaningful conversations by actively listening to everyone's perspective. One of my proudest achievements is that I was able to speak with confidence during my oral presentation. Despite being unwell with stomach flu, I was fortunate to have planned my time well and given myself a week to practice for the presentation. While the result was not as I expected, the experience helped me s...

Reader Response Final

Advancements in rehabilitation and athletic training have incorporated innovative technologies to enhance recovery and performance. One significant innovation example is the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, which features NASA-developed Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to reduce users' effective body weight, which provides a new approach towards training and rehabilitation (AlterG, n.d.). It is made up of a pressurized air chamber that encases the lower body, which is attached to a treadmill surface, along with an advanced controlling system for adjusting body weight and delivering real-time feedback (NASA, 2009). Users wear specially designed shorts that secure them properly within the chamber. The ability to "reduce gravitational load and body weight in precise 1% increment", ranging from 20% to 100%, creates a lower impact force when running or walking, which minimizes joint stress (AlterG, n.d.; De Heer et al., 2020, as cited in NCBI, n.d.). Having the capabil...

Personal Reflection on Year 1 Trimester 1 (Term 1)

My first experience with trimester system caught me off guard, with the packed schedule in placed, we are expected to juggle studies, projects and for some, clubs as well.   Overall, for my first ever term in SIT, I did relatively average for my mid term quiz. However, I felt that due to time constraints and other commitments, I did better than expected so with regards to my result, I was quite proud of it. I also managed to get into the executive committee of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) as well as the Institute of Engineers Singapore (IES). To be honest, I applied for these is because I wanted to try out a leadership role in a school setting, secondly, I hope that these will be able to help me in my Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) which will take place from Year 2 Trimester 3 to Year 3 Trimester 1.  My goal for this upcoming term is to put in as much effort as I did, or even more. The other commitment that I mentioned in the previous paragraph is ...

Project contributions

 The contributions that I contributed: 1.)  I was the 'timekeeper' for my group, I made sure that my group complete said task days before the actual deadline, so I can do some double-checking on the overall work and edit as per needed. 2.) I made our ideas more refined by researching and providing new pointers that could be added to our project. I did this by asking ourselves questions that steer us in the right direction, and also I read up more on the stakeholder we are targeting to have a clearer picture of the situation. 3.) I researched on the possible introduction points that can put into the report. I did this by referring to the past students' sample work and came up with some that is relevant to my topic. From there, I used gAI to further expand on the pointers and from there, I pick out those that I feel is specific to our topic. 4.) I paraphrased our problem statement by properly stating everything that is in our ideal, gap and goal. I also paraphrased our purpos...
