Reflection on Technical Communication

Technical communication is finally coming to an end, it has been a meaningful journey equipping us with writing and oral skills that will benefit us in the near future. Through this short twenty hours course, I have learnt to how to write a formal email, a good product description summary, citation in APA style and a persuasive technical proposal as well as learning to give a good and persuasive pitch.

Through this course, I manage to get a chance to work with different groups of people, which allows me to know them and their working style better. I am also grateful that my module tutor, Brad was patience with me and for his guidance throughout this course.

I have learnt from this course that effective communication is important, people don't always pay attention to the message you are trying to convey. Which is why it’s important to give a good pitch to catch their attention.

After going through all the lesson, I have gain confidence in writing a proper proposal. However, there are still rooms for improvement as I am pretty weak in my grammar. I would like to improve my oral skills as I lack the enthusiasm when presenting or giving a pitch.


I foresee that there will be more report writing throughout my course of studies, I believe that all the skills learnt from this module will be put into good use.

  1. Thanks, Jia Wei, for this comprehensive reflection. It's good to know that you have a positive attitude toward communication now. It's also good to know that you found many takeaways in the tasks you did. Of course, the 'secret' to improving your skills is simply more practice.

    All the best as you continue your learning journey!
