    Hi Ewan, While there's nothing inherently weak with the contents of the pitch, an average delivery that has no looks, coupled with an average production, lowers the score on an otherwise convincing idea.

Descriptive Reflection - Formal Introductory Letter

-
Subject: Self-Introduction Letter Dear Professor Blackstone, I am writing this letter with the purpose of formally introducing myself and providing more context on who I am as a person. In 2021, I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic (SP) with a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. My interest in the engineering field has been an intrinsic part of me for as long as I can remember. I have always been fascinated with how the world around me works, and have been down many “rabbit holes” from even the simplest questions. My father also played a part in this, due to his job as an aircraft engine technician at the time and his attitude of “everything is fixable” that he showed to many things around the house. Upon reflection, I feel that my communication strength is empathy. During conversations, I try to make it a point to really think about what I am going to say and how it might affect the other person.

The Final Assignment: Critical Reflection - Ewan Cheong

Critical Reflection part one: Module Learning According to the formal introductory letter I wrote at the start of the module, my goals were simple: improve upon my public speaking skills by getting proper practice and guidance. I think it is easy to say that my goals have been met, through proper assignments like the vodcast and the final oral presentation as well as the short moments during class when I am called upon to read. Even though the sense of nervousness is still there, I can say that i'm getting better. During the trimester, we learnt many processes and techniques for how our thinking processes should go to achieve certain ideals. Critical thinking is a vital tool, even in daily life that allows us to maximise the potential for success or at the very least help to make informed decisions and I feel that we have learnt this well, even at a subconscious level during the module.  I feel that the aspect of giving and recieving feedback from Professor Blackstone and my classm...

Reader Response Draft 3: Port Plus Obayashi Yokohama Training Centre

-
The article, “Will Pure Wooden High-Rise Building Be a Game Changer for Decarbonisation, Obayashi Corporation’s Challenge” by Clark (2023), examines how Obayashi Corporation employs wooden construction to create competitive buildings with a smaller carbon footprint. The Port Plus Obayashi Yokohama Training Centre, a showcase of the Obayashi Company's wooden construction, uses cross-laminated timber (CLT) and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) as key structural elements. What sets the Port Plus apart from similar buildings is the implementation of rigid cross joints, which bind columns and beams using glued-in rods (GIR) and a Japanese carpentry technique known as Nuki (Port Plus, n.d.), which involves fitting a precut section of lumber into a similarly sized hole cut on another section. Another feature of Port Plus is the use of " O ･ Mega Wood" which offers fire resistance and earthquake protection comparable to traditional buildings that are made of concrete and steel. (Oba...
