Final Blog Post
Dear All,
It saddens me to write the last post for this blog, this journey. We have all learnt much from one another. After all these time learning, I still do not think I can manage any writings without the Auto-correct or Spelling-check function. I'm kidding, that is not the objective of CPD. It was only when i look back at the learning objective I had set for myself in the first post that I realized how much we have grown together as a class. The feedbacks you gave, the discussion we made and the Johari window we have opened. But I digress from the aim of this post.
This post contains my personal opinion on the presentations made on the 4th of April 2018. Generally, with a few exceptions, presenters were nervous and anxious causing them to stumble on their speech and often find themselves thrown out of their train of thoughts. Even those who I know to be confident and steady presenters faced this problem. Upon questioning them, I found out that they were unusually nervous due to the larger crowd. We were trained to speak in front of no more than 20 regular faces. It was a whole new ball game to them presenting in front of the whole theatre with professors and strangers in the mix. I wonder if I will face similar problem in the future.
The most interesting part of the night was the video productions. It was exceptionally insightful to see what hospitality major students can produce with limited knowledge and tools provided to them. Some videos really stood out with outstanding video editing skills and filming angles.
Lastly I would like to thank my professor, Brad, and all fellow students in my class for making every Wednesday afternoon an enjoyable session.
