Critical Reflection

CVE 1281 Effective Communication module was a incredible learning experience. In this module, I have learned many techniques on articulating my ideas in terms of speaking and writing.

TECHNICAL REPORT DRAFT 1: INTRODUCTION + BACKGROUND INFORMATION + PROBLEM STATEMENT + PURPOSE STATEMENT

  Introduction This report has been developed to propose a collaboration with TeamBuild Construction Group Pte Ltd on combating the existing miscommunication between supervisors and construction workers due to language barriers to produce efficiency within the worksite. 1.1 Background information Singapore is heavily reliant on migrant labour in the construction industry due to its high economic development. Its increased economic growth rate resulted in an increase in average wages for the resident population.

Foreign workers are essential as they are the bread an
