Critical Reflection on Learning in the course

At the beginning of this course, I identified my objective of this course is to be more confident when I speak, give the presentation in English and to know my weakness better. During the course, I was given enough chance to give the presentation to my peers and teachers, I now feel much better when I give a presentation to someone, especially when the thing I present to others is something I will feel excited for. What my real problem with the presentation is not that my English is bad nor I am too introvert and couldn't give a presentation, actually, I learned that introvert can also present well. What my real problem with giving the presentation is that I am not prepared enough, I did not do enough research and sometimes I am not enthusiastic about it. That's my weakness that prevents me from presenting my idea well. I like the video presentation( the one talk to my peer about my dream) the most because when I was presenting what I want to do in the future, I was really excited, engaged and enthusiastic and I think I did pretty well for that video.

During the preparation for the final presentation, out team is not very enthusiastic about it and we did not prepare very well. I was in charge of opening the survey to the public and I waited for two weeks before I actually start to do it because I felt prepare for a presentation was really dull and boring, there aren't so many things to do. However, as I finished the survey and put everything up together and start to present it to my teammates and classmates, I felt "wow, so smooth" because that's what I did for a few days just to message ppl and ask them to do the survey for me, and I know what I am presenting well because I watch the survey statistics grow one by one. I start to know my weakness in the presentation. Usually, I treat the preparations as something not very important, the content is more important than anything, but now I start to know the preparation is equally important because that makes one person confident when he is doing a presentation.

I really like this course, although it is on an early Wednesday morning and it is pretty long, but I enjoyed it a lot. I know myself better and start to be confident when I am presenting. What I had learnt will be with me for the rest of my life.
