Reflective Essays:

              Throughout this assignment,it had broaden my views towards Malacca.Honestly,this was the first time I visited there.In my mind(before visiting Malacca),I thought it was a small,non-developed state.However,I found there were lots of specialities in Malacca after visiting it.People there were friendly and helpful enough.This shows that communication played an important role.Without proper communication,there might be misunderstanding.At the same time,it showed that the principles of communication and behaviour in analyzing interactions with others had been greatly achieved in Assignment 1.Lastly,I learnt to respect others' culture at different places and realized that having a good interaction with the others could maintain a positive relationships between each other.

Reflective Essays: 

                Throughout this assignment,I learnt to communicate with my group mates in a well manner.Before deciding how to present our video,each of us actually spoke up our ideas.Just imagine that if there were no cooperation and communication between all of us,we wouldn't be able to finish recording our video on time.Besides that,I also got to know more about the Hakka Round Houses after I'd presenting this oral presentation.Researches were done by using variety of media to obtain information to complete Assignment 2.Lastly,I felt that my English had been improved after the completion of Assignment 1 and 2.This kind of assignments should be given more,to enabled everyone to maintain a healthy relationships with each other and at the same time,the level of of appropriate academic English could be maintained from time to time.

Assignment 3: COMIC STRIP

 Comic Strip was the final project for this module.We were assigned to create 3 A3-sized comic strip which describes events that related to our daily life or incidents that happened around Taylor's Lakeside Campus.This time,my group has chosen non-verbal messages as our theme.And,finally we produced a comic strip which named as "THE POWER OF HAND".

Aims and accomplishments:

Final assignment aimed to demonstrate the principles of communication and behaviour in analyzing interaction with others,both at individual and at group levels.Besides that,when creating this comic strips,one had to present their works in a clear and logical academic English.Otherwise,by just looking at the comic strips,some people might not get to understand what messages did the writer trying to deliver to the readers.

Reflective Essays:

              Throughout this assignment,I was able to express my idea by communicating with my group members.Although sometimes there might be some conflicts between each other,still we were able to solve it after applying the proper way of communication.Besides that,I also found that people nowadays prefer to read comic strip with little words rather than reading thousands of words.Hence,we should always try to appreciate the humour which delivered by a comic strip as respecting others' cultures is also one of the way to build healthy and positive relationships with people surroundings us.In all words,every Effective Public Communications assignments brought exciting yet unforgettable experience to all of us.   :)
