Self-introduction formal email

 Subject: Self-introduction

Dear Professor Brad,

My name is Jing Zhe you can address me simply as JZ. I am currently studying mechanical engineering in Singapore Institute of Technology as a year 1 student attending your critical thinking and communicating module.  


Being an ESFP-T personality, I am very fun-loving, energetic, and spontaneous, but more importantly, I take pleasure in things around me. I have a contagious enthusiasm for life and am always eager to help others have a good time. According to the Myers's-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test, I am a person with the Extraverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting personality trait, ESFP for short. It shows a person who is energized by spending time with others (extraverted), focuses on details and facts and not concepts and ideas, makes decisions premised on values and feelings, and prefers being flexible and spontaneous instead of organized and planned. Thus, I consider myself someone who lives in the moment and enjoys doing impromptu things. I am very sufficient in terms of taking care of myself, being happy, and being able to deal with problems without necessarily calling for help from other people. I can courageously step out of my comfort zone and confront my fears and worries. I have tried sky diving when I was in Dubai as well as shark diving. This is evident from my adventurous life, to try out new experiences, ideas, and methods. 


I have a specific weakness in communication, it causes difficulty in expressing my ideas as I do not know how to phrase my sentence well. Perhaps, this is a difficulty that I will have to overcome in this module. The strength that I have will be having a substantial amount of ideas. I do not have any difficulty giving solutions to my groups during group projects.


Hope to be more confident and able to express my ideas to the audience. Being able to share my ideas effectively will enable me to be a better speaker. Looking forward to more critical thinking and communication classes.

 

Best regards,

Jing Zhe

    Hi Jing Zhe,
    I am Wei en i like that you used MBTI to explain about your personaliy, which make me understand more about you.

    I think that your email can be more concise "My name is Jing Zhe, but you can address me simply by JZ" can change to My name is jing zhe, you can address me as Jz. and" I have a specific weakness in communication. I have a difficulty in expressing my ideas as I do not know how to phrase my sentence well. " this sentence can be change to " i have a specufic weakness in communication, it casuses difficulty in expressing ideas as i do not know how to phrase my sentence well''
    Your email is very clear and discriptive Iearn alot and know more about you

    Hope you have a good day

    Hello Jing Zhe!
    This is your partner Hui Xiang. This is a follow-up to the comments I have gave you that day in class.
    I like that you were straight forward with your ideas and especially your use of MBTI as mentioned by Wei En!
    However, there are a few things that could be improved for your post! The sentence “ESFP shows one of the 16 personality types in the Myers’s-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)” could be rephrased to “According to the Myers’s-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test, I am a person with the Extraverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting personality trait, ESFP for short.” Then followed by expanding on how you are an ESFP, which you did on the prior sentence.

    I’ve noticed that we have a similar habit of overusing “I” in this formal letter as well.

    I was able to learn a lot more about you through this letter and hope that we would be able to work on our weaknesses together in this module for the weeks to come.

    Best regards,
    Hui Xiang

    Dear JZ,

    Thank you for this highly detailed letter and very personal sharing. I appreciate the rich content that is well aligned with the assignment brief, the clear supports and organization and the generally effective language use. You've done a very fine job providing supporting information for the type of person you are, allowing us readers to gain a better understanding. It's easy to see that you have great potential for being both a buddy and a project mate. At the same time, you write you like "to try out new experiences, ideas, and methods." It would be good to show an example to illustrate this.

    There are also some language issues to take note of:
    1. punctuation
    -- Being an ESFP-T personality, I am very fun-loving energetic and spontaneous but more importantly, I take pleasure in things around me. > (use of commas) ?
    Being an ESFP-T personality, I am very fun-loving, energetic and spontaneous, but more importantly, I take pleasure in things around me.

    2. verb forms
    -- I have a contagious enthusiasm for life and always eager ... > (form) I have a contagious enthusiasm for life and AM always eager
    -- focus on details > (subject-verb disagreement) ?
    -- ...and enjoy what life has to offer. > ?
    -- My goals in this module is... > ?

    I look forward to your continued work, participaion and positive attitude in class this term.

    Cheers,

    Brad

Critical Reflection

 Multiple ways that critical thinking has benefited me. Compared to before this module, my way of thinking has significantly changed. My goal at the outset of the program was to be able to efficiently assemble my thoughts and talk fluently. This program has helped me to efficiently assemble my thoughts, and by doing so has helped me greatly to converse fluently as I have all the ideas in my mind. Being able to think critically also help me with doing assignments, previously I was not able to write a formal letter as the ideas were all over the letter. Overall, I have to say that the materials and information imparted to us were really helpful in terms of communication and critical thinking abilities. My communication abilities were also enhanced by talking and asking questions in class. Having different group mates for different assignments also makes me learn that different people have a different ways of doing assignments is different. I believe that through effectively communica...

Summary & Reader Response (Draft 3)

  The article “Firefighting Robots Go Autonomous” written by (Little, 2021) addressed researchers’ breakthroughs in developing firefighting robots and their capabilities. As Neil Sahota, an inventor who advises the United Nations on artificial intelligence issues commented “mobility is the big complication” (Little, 2021), many researchers are faced with the problem to tackle when it comes to developing either a remote-controlled or autonomous firefighting robot. However, weighing 3500 pounds and fitted with tanklike treads and a huge plow nose at the front, the Robotics Systems 3 (RS3) is able to pull hoses up inclined slopes and heavy objects out of ditches. The RS3 is fitted with multiple cameras for ease of operation from a safe distance of 900 feet from the user. Equipped with four cameras, these give the operator the full view of the robot’s surroundings both in normal imaging and thermal. With the help of the cameras, the operator is able to not only guide the nozzle to the ...
