Ending credits

I can imagine that few months later after I graduate from NUS, there will be three things that I will remember from this module: the experience with the people, the exercises in professional writing and the importance of intercultural understanding.

This is the module in which I have experienced the most interactions with the lecturer and the classmates. This came out under the wonderful guidance of our lecturer, Brad. He is willing to connect with everyone in the class and even ‘match-makes’ us so that we interact with all of our classmates. Furthermore, our classmates are friendly and out-spoken. Not to forget my fun and creative group mates, Xiao Tong and Bao Qing, whom we formed a kind of rapport through all the discussions and imaginative jokes.

After doing so much writing over and over again, I become immune to the boredness of writing. Frankly speaking, I found writing to be quite boring when I first started writing the blog posts. In the end, I am not so afraid of writing anymore and went beyond. I tend to check my writing with the 7 C's whenever I write. Perhaps, that is we repeated the writing exercises over and over and over again. Practice makes perfect.

Brad has demonstrated and challenged us to see things in a different perspective. He reminded us that the different cultures in the world are just different, and that no culture is superior to another. We have to be more sensitive and be more open-minded to understand other cultures. This mindset is extremely important in Singapore, as we have people of different nationalities and different ethnicities constantly interacting with each other.

In short, I have learnt what I wanted to learn in the module. And I have to thank Brad, my group mates and all my class mates for making the learning process so fun and meaningful. Thank you everyone!
