Analytical Reflection

Delivery
During the mock presentation, I could feel my tension was making me nervous to speak which causes me to forget about my expression and tone while presenting. I also tend to blank out a little where I focused too much on what I wish to deliver to my audience. This made me forget about my facial expression, making me look stern while presenting. However, it was never my intention to look stern but I guess my anxiety got the best of me.
It was also mentioned by Professor that I am lacking in passion and enthusiasm during my speech which caused my part of presentation seems like a matter of fact.

Preparation
I felt that my anxiety was caused by the inadequate in preparation of materials for the presentation as well as the lack of practicing before the presentation. Also, I felt overwhelmed during Q&A section as I was not prepared to anticipate the questions that will be asked during Q&A before the presentation. Due to the time deficiency, I was underprepared for my slides and materials which causes my flow to be unplanned and hence my conclusion was not well done.

Conclusion

In order for me to present better in the final, I will prepare my materials and script two days beforehand to build the flow of my presentation and getting familiarize with my topics. I would also meet up with my team members to rehearse on the presentation as a team so we could practice on our overall flow, and how we could transit smoother when handing the slides over. I believe that being well prepared beforehand could help with my anxiety, as I know what I have to present about and anticipating what is going to happen during the presentation I could gain my confidence by getting on top of my materials. I hope that by reducing my anxiety, I could relax my expression and remember to be more friendly and able to think better even when presenting.

    Hi Rachel! Glad to see your improvements through today's presentation in class! Good job for the effort put in for the past few days. However you can still continue to work on your facial expression as mentioned to be your flaw, take a deep breath before your turn to present in future and be less tense! With that, your presentation will sure feel more enthusiastic. You have mentioned in your post that you will prepare your materials and script 'two days' beforehand. I feel that there isn't a need to mention 'two days' here, maybe you can state that you will prepare adequately instead and not specify that number of days. All the best, you can sure do better in future! :)

    Hello Rachel, I was there to witness your presentation today. I notice many improvement from the mock presentation to the final presentation, from time management to answering question. However, you are still a tat nervous when presenting as you tend to forget what you want to say and consistently looking at the slides. I believe that this can be eliminated with more practices.

    All in all, i want to say is great work and as Kim Collins said " Strive for continuous improved instead of perfection".

    Thanks
    Winfred

Project Proposal Report (Final)

1.2 Current Implementations Efforts have been invested by both the authorities and respective bike-sharing operators, including Mobike, to minimize indiscriminate parking. 1.2.1 Credit System Every Mobike user is entitled to 100 credits. Poor parking practices or irresponsible usage of the bikes will result in the loss of credits thus imposing higher charges for the usage of a Mobike. However, this credit system is ineffective as inconsiderate users can easily switch to another public-sharing bike operator when he or she has to pay a higher fare. 1.2.2 Penalty Fee by Land Transport Authority (LTA) to Bike-Sharing Firms For any indiscriminately parked Mobikes found by The Land Transport Authority (LTA), Mobike will have to pay a total of S$100 and a fine to retrieve the impounded bike. 1.2.3 Yellow Boxes Used as Designated Parking Areas Yellow boxes have been marked out islandwide to encourage riders to orderly park the bikes at designated locations in publ...

Revised_Reader Response (2nd Draft)

In the article, “Dubbed 'the best in class': 6 things about Hong Kong's MTR rail system.”, Lee (2015) states that Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan, thought thinks highly of Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway (MTR), and further suggested suggests that local transportation sectors should use MTRC as a guideline for its “reliability standards”. Based on the annual reports, comparing countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, New York and London, Hong Kong’s subway system emerged with the highest “system’s farebox recovery ratio”. Comparing both MTR and SMRT’s railway systems, the length of MTR’s railway surpasses SMRT’s by 59km. Also, the punctuality of SMRT trains is 3.9% slower than MTR even though both countries face the same amount of significant hold ups. Looking at the expenditure of profits on enhancing train systems, MTR invested invests a larger amount of their earnings compared to SMRT’s rail revenue. MTR also ensures that their passengers enjoy a smooth smoother ride by...
