Critical Reflection

 As the module comes to an end, compared to when I first stepped foot into the Critical Thinking and Communication module and now, I have improved on communication and teamwork skills.  Previously in polytechnic, I would rarely have the chance to participate in every lesson as there are many students who would want to do well in getting class participation points. Despite me being introverted and naturally not wanting to participate in things, this caused me to have difficulty in participating as much as others and thus lagging behind my classmates in contributing to lessons. However, currently in the Critical Thinking and Communication module, my instructor has given me numerous chances to participate in almost every lesson to build up my confidence and vocal skills. We also had multiple opportunities to work together in a buddy system and group work, helping me gain strong teamwork skills. During my volunteering work, I usually plan and work on events alone and thus, this module wa

Letter [Updated 20th November]

 Subject: Self Introduction Dear Mr Brad, I am Chia Kai Fong, currently a Year 1 student at Singapore Institute of Technology studying Mechanical Engineering. I chose to study engineering as since young, I have always been fascinated by how things work. Like how planes fly? And how does a robot move? This interest in engineering led me to actively engage in robotics as a co-curricular activity during both my primary and secondary school years. After completing secondary school, I furthered my education by studying biomedical engineering at Temasek Polytechnic, where I also obtained certification in basic 3D printing. Additionally, I am currently serving as a grassroots leader at Nee Soon East Youth Network. I am currently holding the role of head of publicity within my youth network. A strong communication skill that I have attained through volunteering would be digital communication. As head of publicity, I designed multiple digital content like digital display panels posters, and ban

Self assess student participation

Level - Acceptable I feel that I am at the acceptable range as I have been punctual most of the time for lessons, submitted and uploaded my assignments to the class drive and personal blog on time. On top of that, I have contributed to peer and team work and have an attendance of above 81%. For the missed days of attendance, I have submitted Medical Certificates. I believe that I have more room for improvement regarding my class participation hence I did not grade myself higher.

Summary / Reader Response Draft #4

  In the article “Sky Urban Vertical Farming System”, the Index Project(n.d.) conveys that the company Sky Greens uses the world’s first hydraulic-driven vertical system. Sky Green’s Vertical Farming System, called “A-Go-Gro”, utilizes rainwater and gravity heavily. The rainwater works with gravity by flowing from an upper tank containing rainwater down to a water pulley system which rotates the 8 trays of plants towards sunlight and waters the trays of plants with rainwater. After flowing through the water pulley system, the used rainwater flows into a generator which powers the pump and directs the used rainwater back to the upper tank. Sky Greens also emerged victorious for the INDEX award in 2015, a prestigious international award for remarkable designs that improve lives. The Index Project states that “Although the concept of vertical farming has been around for over a century, very few have been able to master the technique like Singaporean company Sky Greens” (n.d., para. 2).
