Critical Reflection In the beginning, the project seemed like any other project, which was the usual development and presentation of content. However, this project has truly opened my eyes about communication. Through brainstorming with multiple debates, it challenged my team mates and I to think deeper, in consideration of multiple perspectives. These debates have taught me compromise and acceptance as there will always be another viewpoint and opinion which must be balanced out for anything to be feasible. Communication was key to understanding what was brought to these discussions, where we assisted each other and improved on our thoughts and ideas until we came to consensus. With multiple ideas placed into the report, the word limit sparked critical thinking, to sieve out what was truly necessary to convey our idea into a practical solution. This led to improvement in my writing, where I became more aware of the language and sentence structuring, minimising the word count ...

Abstract Food Republic food courts are often packed, with diners forming long queues along food stalls. These queues may block passageways, causing an inconvenience by blocking diners carrying their food which can be hazardous as food may spill. From the article “How to get a seat at the food centre without shoving anyone”, Koh (2017) mentioned that diners prefer to secure their table before ordering food, instead of looking for a seat while carrying their food, forming the “chope” culture. ...

Analytical Reflection The recent mock presentation done in class was a good indication of the level my team and I were at. Having to work with one another, it was evident to see various working styles among my peers as well as the problems and issues to rectify. During the mock presentation, I've come to realize new things about myself. Firstly, I've learnt that body language makes a huge difference. The various postures and gestures led to different interpretations from the audience which affected the message that was to be put across. I've learnt that my lip actually twitched when I was trying to think of what I wanted to say, which surprised me as I did not realize that I was doing this subconsciously. As the attention is on oneself while presenting, having a sense of one's body language allow the speaker to portray a better image of one's self. To continue on, I realize that I have a hard time controlling my face expressions, where in my mind I was focused...

II.Executive summary Food courts are often packed, with customers forming long queue lines along food stalls. These long lines block passageways, which creates an inconvenience for by blocking consumers carrying their food. Apart from an inconvenience, it can be potentially hazardous as hot food may spill. From the article “How to get a seat at the food centre without shoving anyone”, Koh (2017) mentioned that consumers would prefer to secure their table before ordering food, rather than to look for a seat while carrying food. Most of us may carry the same sentiment towards our visit to any food centre, especially when it is crowded and as a result, the ugly ‘chope’ culture in Singapore was formed. To combat these everyday problems faced by the consumers in Food Republic, our team has come up with the idea of the Integrated Ordering and Payment System, a tablet and smartphone based application where consumers can order food without having to stand up to queue. Cashless payme...

Reader's Response In the article “Use of cladding in buildings here have grown in recent times” Mokhtar (2017), reported that although there are benefits of cladding installed on a building, cladding is still a fire hazard. It is reported that the usage of cladding has shown to provide many benefits for the building, such as heat insulation and the reduction in energy consumption (Fadeyi 2017). However, cladding has contributed in rapid spreading of fire as air is sucked into the ventilation gaps due to pressure, which could escalate a fire (Budig, 2017). According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), the ‘Singapore Fire Code’ regulates that the materials to be used in construction must meet the class ‘0’ requirement, which is defined that a fire will not spread when a material is ignited. These materials are required to adhere to local certification, which includes timely testing to ensure that there is no deviation from the requirement. Although there are...

Reader's Response Draft In the article “Use of cladding in buildings here have grown in recent times: Experts” from Faris Mokhtar, states that although there are benefits of cladding on a building, cladding is still a fire hazard. Mokhtar (2017) states that the usage of cladding has shown to provide many benefits for the building. According to Assistant Professor Fadeyi (2017), cladding has shown to benefit in the reduction of energy consumption and increases the sustainability of the building. According to Assistant Professor Budig (2017), he mentions that Singapore practices another style of cladding which enhances the shade of the building. However, usage of cladding has been contributing in the rapid spreading of fire as it endangers the fire safety in the building as the oxygenation could escalate the fire (Mokhtar, 2017). According to Mokhtar (2017), cladding may have contributed to the fire that struck the Grenfell Tower, which led to multiple fatalities. ...
