Critical Thinking: The soul of communication

 From the excerpt, we see how there is a never-ending need for improvement in today’s fast-paced society. The demand for soft skills such as the ability to communicate effectively and think critically is highly valued.


As a leader, we are responsible for the work produced by the people working with us as it is a direct representation of a leader’s working attitude. We delegate information and instructions to others. Should it be poorly communicated, poor work is produced as a result. Hence, it is crucial that we are able to critically think to ensure that the information is effectively communicated to our colleagues with clarity and purpose.  

In this context, critically thinking refers to our ability to convey purpose of the information to other colleagues, while ensuring that it is clear and cohesive. This ensures that they are collectively on the same page with clarity of the aim of the information provided.

Therefore, the future of workplaces is highly dependent on the key leaders’ skillset.

Self introduction

  To Professor Brad, The purpose of this letter is to share about myself such as my reason for choosing mechanical engineering, my strengths, and shortcomings which are one of my goals that I want to work on with this module. I hope that my contribution and participation in class will be able to leave a lasting impression not only on you, but also my other classmates. I was previously from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and had graduated with a diploma in aerospace technology with a minor in business management. I had chosen to study mechanical engineering in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), as I wanted to enter a more general field of study, which provides more flexibility in the future. Personally, I consider myself to be an extroverted introvert. I open up and speak more, only when I deem the environment comfortable. I consider this to be one of my flaws as I expect myself to be situated in new, unfamiliar environments while having to perform under pressure. However, I view havin...

Summary reader response final draft

  Germii’s article posits that the ‘Whiz’ cleaning robot is able to increase public cleanliness while improving workflow efficiency. Repetitive, laborious manual tasks are now taken over by cleaning robots, while cleaners are sent for courses, where they learn to operate such technology productively (GERMii, 2021). With UV-C sterilization technology, Whiz is not only able to kill viruses and germs on floors, but also able to eliminate harmful airborne pathogens with HEPA filters and UVC light (Softbank Robotics, n.d.). However, there is still the need for thorough scrutiny of operating such machinery. It is crucial that guidelines and precautions are set when using cleaning robots. Excessive cleaning and poor regulation of cleaning chemicals used may cause respiratory disease and irritation due to prolonged exposure to the chemicals (GERMii, 2021). While there is still the need for human oversight, features of autonomous robots such as AI, UVC technology, sensors and cameras have l...
