Analytical Reflection

I felt that the presentation was a good dry run for what we can expect in the actual presentation. It exposed us to uncertainties and angles of the project that we were not able to prepare for. Majority of the questions asked were from a perspective that we did not think of and it caught us off guard. This shows that you can always prepare for the presentation by understanding different points of view.

I feel that the two aspects that I can improve in are, the manner of delivery and the teamwork during the presentation

In terms of delivery, I felt that I may have rattled on about a certain problem or situation more than once. This made the presentation draggy at certain points and the audience would tend to disconnect after a while. It did not really occur to me that the audience has disconnected as well. I should cut the point and elaborate on a scenario instead.

With regards to teamwork, we did not really support each other well while we were presenting. Instead, we all stood still without any enthusiasm. The handover from one presenter to the other was not very smooth as well. I believe that if we had practised together beforehand, we would have been able to handle the whole presentation with a lot more fluidity.

Along with those two pointers, I feel that being nervous plays a big part in how the presentation can go.As we approach our final presentation, I hope that my teammates and I will remember the mistakes that we made and what we can improve on.

Reader's Response Draft 2

According to “Floor lights help ‘smartphone zombies’ keep eye on the road”, (Tan, 2017), new LED strips are being installed at pedestrian crossings around Singapore, in order to raise awareness of road safety for millennials. Dealing with ‘smartphone zombies’ is an issue many, metropolitan and cosmopolitan, cities around the world are facing, with several countries already launching pedestrian safety regulations regarding phones. Menon (2017) mentioned that many pedestrians are hooked to their phones, so any method to better the safety of pedestrians are welcomed. According to the Traffic Police (2017), the accident rates were at a 4 year high with pedestrian accidents making one-third of all fatal road accidents. Tan then states that the new feature will make crossing easier and safer with the assistance of the LED strips. Floor lights would be able to help notify the general populace when it is safe to cross, however, the safety of pedestrians should not solely be based upon...

Technical Report Draft 1 (Parts of main body)

Technical Report Draft 1 2. Scope This report will address the issues that commuters might face with the expansion of Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) network, as well as how an interactive board will aide commuters with journey planning and real-time updates with a variety of options.   3. Problem Statement Prior to the implementation of the new network lines, commuters are already particular about factors such as cost, crowd, travelling time, and alternate routes (Annex A). The current system of boards, shown below, shows static information that can be subject to change but cannot be changed. Along with that, the mounted televisions at the train platforms do not provide commuters with accurate information. When the new lines open, these factors will be intensified and commuter satisfaction will go down. 4. Purpose Statement The purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate to SMRT the effectiveness of implementing an interactive board system that wil...
