Critical Reflection

  3.2.1 I started this course with two main goals for myself which is to improve my presentation and writing skills. Looking back, I have made good progress on both but there are still room for improvement. In order to improve my presentation skills, I memorized the main points of my presentation and keep practicing to reduce my reliance on slides and also to improve my confidence. But I still catch myself looking at the slides, especially when I am nervous. Therefore, I will need to become more familiar with the subject that I am presenting if I want to improve my presentation skills. When it comes to writing skills, I have discovered that it is more important to focus on accuracy and clarity than just trying to reach the word count target. Planning my ideas in advance has helped me prevent repetition and concentrate on delivering my point clearly. Additionally, peer review has been helpful to me in refining my work. Though I am still working on it, I still have the tendency to wr...

  The article "The new Apple Pencil Pro is harder to lose and better to draw with" (Weatherbed, 2024) highlights the key features and improvements of Apple's latest stylus, the Apple Pencil Pro, which was released in 2024. According to Weatherbed (2024), the Apple Pencil Pro introduces a new feature called haptic feedback which provides tactile pulses when users squeeze or double tap the stylus. The squeeze gesture also opens a new palette for quick tool, colour, and line weight switching, while maintaining the advanced capabilities of its predecessor. Additionally, there is the barrel roll feature which is a new gyroscope that lets you rotate the device for precise control over curved pens and brush tools. Furthermore, there is a Find My Device app that helps the users to track the stylus if they accidentally misplaced it, this addresses a common issue with earlier models. However, the Apple Pencil Pro is only compatible with the newest iPad models, leaving users with o...

Formal Introductory Letter

Subject: A brief introduction of myself Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Min Kaung and I am a year 1 mechanical engineering student at SIT. I am writing this letter to introduce myself to you. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2022 with a diploma in aeronautical engineering. I started to gain interest in aeroplanes ever since I first saw aeroplanes when I was young and I went to Myanmar airport with my family for my flight to Singapore. The Since then, I would read up more about aeroplanes online to find out more information such as how the aeroplane flies and the different types of aeroplanes. This interest then led me to pursue further studies in engineering related to aeroplanes. My background in aeronautical engineering gives me a more focused understanding of how mechanical systems may be optimised for performance and efficiency, especially in the aerospace industry, and I believe that this is what makes me different from other people. One communication weakness that ...
