Critical Reflection on Project Learning

Our Project title was "Interpersonal Conflict On Social Media Among Singapore Teens: Resolution"
I will be focusing on talking about the third party interference in a interpersonal conflict with two people.

In our presentation, we talked about the ideal solutions to solve a interpersonal conflict between two people. However, in reality, it is hard to achieve the ideal solution when both parties are not in good term with each other, The solutions that we researched in conflict resolution mention that reflection, such as reflect on the conflict or discussion of the situation with someone which forces you to reflect on your action. Eventually, reflection is recommended to have a better conclusion with your conflict.

I introduced the introduction of our slides and gave a background research and reasoning on why we chose our topic. I felt that the content that I explained was related to our topic title and elaborated on some background research on why we chose our topic and able to project myself well, with good eye contact and voice. However, I notice that I had the tendency to repeat my sentences, rely too much on my notes and i was not formal enough while i was presenting. I felt that my notes was not re liable for me as it was in paragraph. One of my classmates, Kok Zheng, advised that i should have my note in point form so that it was easier for me to refer. I felt that it was because i was nervous that it result to my tenancy to repeat myself. Moreover, I felt that i was too informal with my speech, mainly because the audience was my classmates.

Through this presentation, I learned that I need to take case the choice of words when i was presenting. For example, I used pauses fillers such as "um and like" too much that affect my flow of speech. I would phrase my notes better and in point form so that it is easier to refer.

Dear Mei, This is a detailed post. In it you state that you will address " third party interference in a interpersonal conflict with two people," but it seems that you really write about your presentation performance and the impact of the course in general. That last bit could probably be cut and pasted into the blogpost that you will write this Friday, since it will focus on that.

I’m happy to know that the "reflection" aspect of conflict resolution seems relevant to you. It certainly is important for so much of human development.

I thought you did a good job introducing the project topic and your group's presentation. In the post you mainly discuss your presentation, which we will discuss Friday. I'm glad that you see it as a learning experience. It's also great that input from peers helped you.

You also mention the course. I ‘m happy that you are now more aware of communication. Mention that in your post Friday. Explain it in more detail.

All in all, even though your discussion in this post jumps around, and I don't feel we learn anything about "third part interference," you do provide some important information.

Thank you for all the hard work this term!
