Zi Hui's Rationale for student participation marks

Dear Professor Blackstone,

In the blink of an eye, the trimester is coming to an end. For the past 13 weeks in this module, I gained tremendous knowledge in presentation and communication skills. I have been participating enthusiastically during class, hence I believe that I should get a "good" grade in student participation.

I have been attentive not only to you but also to my peers whenever anyone is speaking during class as I believe that paying full attention to the person speaking is the most basic form of courtesy. If I can't give my attention to other people speaking, why should I expect others to listen to me when I'm speaking? That was the thought that always came to my mind.

I'm always proactive in giving my peers from other groups feedback for improvements and also pay close attention to my peer's feedback, as our end goal is to be more proficient in writing and communication. Through feedback from you and my peers, I was able to understand my mistakes and rectify them in my past blog posts, and I hope my feedback has made a difference.

Furthermore, I always do my best to answer your questions proactively during class. Although there were times when I didn't voice out loud enough.

I had a fruitful experience taking on this module and I hope to get the proposed grade for the reasons mentioned above. I would like to sincerely thank you for your guidance.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Wong Zi Hui

Zi Hui's introductory letter (Updated as of 23/11/2023)

 Subject: Zi Hui’s self introductory letter   Dear Prof Blackstone,   Good day to you Professor. I am Wong Zi Hui, a mechanical engineering undergraduate student from class S21. Prior to admitting into Singapore Institute of Technology, I graduated with a diploma in aerospace electronics in Temasek Polytechnic. My interest in engineering started when I was learning Design and Technology (D&T) as one of the school subjects back in secondary school. The hands-on activities where I get to create and craft movable mechanisms using simple rotary methods sparked my interest in engineering. Wanting to learn more about engineering, I chose to study engineering at a diploma level and subsequently, at an undergraduate level. I enjoy rollerblading since I was 8, turning this hobby into a side hustle, I am working part time as a rollerblading instructor. And the biggest challenge I face as an instructor is explaining to younger students how to execute specific move in...

Zi Hui's reader's response Draft 3

In the article “10 Reasons Why The Hyundai Kona Electric Is Better Than The Tesla Model 3” (Moore, 2023), the KONA Electric Vehicle (EV) offers a range of four distinct regenerative braking settings, spanning from level zero to three. The smart regenerative braking system employs its onboard radar sensor to automatically adjust the amount of regenerative braking according to different road conditions such as changes in steepness on roads or traffic conditions ahead. This allows the state of charge of the vehicle to be maintained at a healthy level. Secondly, the KONA also has “one-paddle mode” which allows users to stop the vehicle without using conventional brakes. The smart regenerative system enhances the KONA electric vehicle in terms of energy conservation and efficiency. Additionally contributing to greener transport emissions, which is one step towards curbing global warming.  The KONA has regenerative braking from level zero to three, with level zero having no regenerativ...
