Critical Reflection

Module Learning: At the start of this module , I aimed to refine my ability to convey technical information effectively and build confidence in presenting. Throughout the course, I have significant progress in these areas, particularly in developing my critical thinking and communication skills. This module has provided several opportunities to strengthen these skills. Participating in discussions, presenting and receiving feedback have helped me refine my communication techniques. I have learned how to adapt my explanations for different audiences, ensuring clarity without oversimplifying technical details. Although we only had one practice run before the presentation, I still gained valuable insights on areas for improvement and adjustments to become a better speaker, thanks to feedback from my classmates and professor. For instance, learning when to project my voice and maintain eye contact with the audience helps create engagement, making them more attentive and interested in the t...

  The XYZ Reality Atom AR Headset is a groundbreaking innovation in the construction industry, merging augmented reality (AR) with advanced hardware to enhance on-site workflows and real-time problem-solving. Combining the safety of a construction helmet with high-resolution AR displays, the headset allows teams to visualize Building Information Models (BIM) directly on-site, bridging the gap between digital and physical environments (XYZ Reality, 2025). This technology enables precise positioning of complex 3D models, facilitating quick issue identification, reducing errors, and promoting collaboration (Autodesk, 2025). It integrates with cloud-based platforms like BIM 360, Navisworks, and Revit, ensuring real-time updates that enhance teamwork and communication across all stakeholders (XYZ Reality, 2025). The headset's ergonomic, lightweight design ensures durability and comfort for extended use on construction sites (Autodesk, 2025). The Atom AR Headset revolutionizes workflows ...

Personal Problem Reflection

  TEAM REPORTING (Name) Nurin Syazwana Ideal To avoid taking afternoon naps at home that sometimes turn into long periods of sleep after morning classes. Reality(gap) I feel tired or sleepy no matter where I am, making it hard to stay awake in the afternoons.   Causes/Conditions Not sleeping well at night. Results Less time to work on assignments or catch up on classes. Goal To eliminate afternoon naps entirely. Possible change Stay awake during the afternoon by engaging in productive activities, such as reviewing upcoming lectures or studying Testing the hypothesis Drink coffee in the afternoon. Go for a walk to refresh and stay awake. Outcome of change Gain more time to study or complete assignments, leading to more productive days.
