"Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance" By: Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000)

Communication is a very essential life skills that everyone should be good at. Communication is the key to obtain employment base on how you outsell yourself to the company and impress the interviewer that you want to work with. Also having a good communication skills will lead to healthy work environment because you are able to tell others or others tell you about what you did well and what you didn't which will motivate the whole work place environment and thus leads to successful job performance.

    Thanks, Cheng Feng, for being one of the first members of Group 6 to set up a blog and also the one of the first in making a post in reponse to the quotation. In that regard, it might help to use quotation marks in the quotation since this is a direct quote, and you should also reference the authors' names.


    I appreciate your effort!

    Hi Cheng Feng, I agree with your explanation of the quote. Communication is indeed a very essential skill.

    However I feel that some parts of your explanation could be more direct, for example the last sentence was too long without any comma. I think it would be better if you broke it down into shorter sentences. You could shorten the sentence or add commas like "Also, having good communication skills will lead to a healthy work environment, because you are able to interact with others." "By communicating feedback with one and another, it can lead to a conductive work environment." "Thus, motivating you to progress in your work."

    Regards,
    Sarah

The reason for choosing this course was because I'm unsure what I was interested in. Basically the course structure is 65% engineering and 35% business which allows me to have some fundamental knowledge and understanding about the both sectors. Throughout the whole 3 years in Poly, I realised my main interest was in engineering because I enjoy problem solving and understanding the needs and the purposes of engineer in the real world. Thus I would like to further my studies in SIT to further enhance my engineering skills which is needed in the real world.

For example back in polytechnic days, my team ...

Question includes monitoring of animals for up to 6 months before and after the drilling of boreholes, would be made transparent to the public and projected outcome of moderate impact from the assessment is accurate if alleviation measures was taken. One volunteer claims that details of mitigation measures were not enough and some are worried about how the monitoring are being handled. Volunteers are hoping that LTA can promise them that dealing with environmental impact must be thorough and careful to minimise the impact caused.
