Self-reflection about the course



Self-reflection

During this course LSEC N-307 I had a lot of useful techniques to improve my skills in different areas. First, we begun with improving the CV. What are the important information that has to be included and the best possible format for it. Moreover, the information in the CV should follow a sequence and the font should be clear without any long or boring introduction. It’s recommended that you include a letter written directly to the person you want the CV to reach to him. Also, in this course we sharpened our skills in presenting in front of an audience and we had a good practice with the guidance of our teacher. I had more self-confidence by practicing with my team and the teacher giving us advices about eye contact, how to get the audience attention, watching videos of experienced presenters. In addition for that, we practiced about managing meetings and the skills required. Meetings should be held in the best timing for everyone not too early or late, send the agenda before 2 days of the meeting day for the participants to make the prepared, managing the time would be a good idea and giving a break will help refresh the meeting. However, we learned about new projects in the United Arab Emirates by doing a research about Ettihad rail way which is also related to Civil Engineering. Most of our work was in groups which improve the team work between the group members. Finally, we had an excellent teacher always giving more advices throughout the course.
