Week 1

 

This week, 

• I got to know our lecturer, Mr. Brad Blackstone, and my first impression was that he’s very lively and enthusiastic. From the moment I stepped into the classroom, he paused what he was doing to greet me with a “Good morning!” His energy set a positive tone for the class.
• We spent some time reflecting on the importance of communication in engineering, and i shared my thoughts on that in my previous post. We also touched on professional writing skills. 
• Mr. Blackstone’s teaching style stood out to me because he actively engages with everyone, encouraging us students to participate in brainstorming sessions and read aloud.
• Additionally, he gave helpful feedback on improving body language and eye contact during speaking based on observations he had on students, which will definitely be useful in developing our professional communication skills.

Overall, I really enjoyed the class vibe and the interactive learning environment.
