Critical Reflection

Hello, my name is Claire Chia, I am writing this blog to summarise and reflect on my experience for the past 13 weeks for my Effective Communication(MEC1281) module. My goal at the start of this course was to improve my presentation skills and writing skills. I am glad to say that I managed to improve my presentation skills by a great deal. This was only possible, as I was my team's project speaker, thus I had a lot of chances to present my team ideas and update my team’s progress to my classmates every week and therefore could work on my presentation skills.  To improve my presentation skills, I watched videos on assertion-evidence talk, so that I can learn more on how to present my ideas in a better way.  During the final presentation, I thought that I pulled it off well, as for all my past presentations, I would always stutter and fidget a lot but this time I was able to stand firmly and present my ideas smoothly. My writing skills have also improved but the improvement is ...

Summary Analysis Draft #4

Introducing the Seabin Project – Summary Analysis Draft #4 MEC 1281 Summary Analysis Draft #4 By Claire Chia 1st April 2021 The article “Introducing the Seabin Project”, Jateff, (2018) describes how two surfers quit their jobs to create an ocean garbage collector named Seabin as they grew tired of swimming in garbage. Jateff states that plastic is a major contributor to ocean pollution and how Seabin can help to solve this issue. Seabin is an ocean rubbish bin that uses a motor that is powered from the shore to inject water so that the vortex created can pull the debris into a catch-bag and the Seabin also contain oil absorbent pads that cleans the seawater of petroleum-based oils and detergents. Additionally, the Seabin is able to collect rubbish from a 2-6 meter radius under good weather conditions and the Seabin should be placed strategically in places with congested waterways. The Seabin team is still working on improving the Seabin by making a reprocessed catch-bag and...
