Subject: Self-Introduction
Dear
Professor Brad Blackstone,
I
hope this email finds you well. My name is Constance chew, and I am thrilled to
introduce myself as a first-year civil engineering student in your UCS1001:
Critical thinking and communicating module, S12 class.
My
academic journey began with a diploma in civil engineering from Singapore
Polytechnic, which I completed in 2024. The foundation of my passion for civil
engineering was laid during my first year, where I discovered the fascinating
world of structural design and analysis. The challenge of creating safe and
efficient structures inspired me to further my studies and strive to contribute
meaningfully to the industry.
When
it comes to communication, I take pride in my ability to convey ideas clearly
and work seamlessly in team settings. A memorable example was during a group
project where my effective communication skills facilitated productive
discussions and successful collaboration. However, I acknowledge that
overthinking sometimes hinders my confidence in dynamic situations. For
instance, I once hesitated during a presentation when faced with an unexpected
question. This experience has motivated me to work on becoming more adaptable
and spontaneous in my communication.
Through
this module, I am excited to focus on improving my public speaking skills by
building confidence and clarity. Additionally, I aim to develop my active
listening skills to engage more meaningfully in conversations. These goals will
not only enhance my communication abilities but also prepare me for academic
and professional success.
Beyond
my academic pursuits, what sets me apart is my unwavering passion for civil
engineering and my resilience in overcoming challenges. I thrive on approaching
problems with curiosity and creativity, which allows me to work effectively in
dynamic environments while delivering meaningful results.
Thank
you for taking the time to read my introduction. I look forward to
learning under your guidance.
Yours sincerely,
Constance Chew
Dear Constance,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your self-introduction letter. It was a pleasure to read, and I can see the thoughtfulness you’ve put into it. Below is my feedback on the strengths and areas for improvement:
Your letter is well-structured and flows logically, making it engaging and easy to follow. It effectively showcases your passion for civil engineering and highlights your proactive approach to self-improvement. Your professional tone and clear articulation of goals, such as enhancing public speaking and active listening, reflect commendable self-awareness and dedication to growth.
While the letter is strong, it could benefit from more specific details in your examples, particularly regarding how you addressed challenges in communication. Some sentences are overly wordy and could be refined for conciseness and clarity. Additionally, including a personal anecdote or unique perspective would make the letter more relatable and memorable. Expanding on how this module aligns with your aspirations could further enhance the impact of your introduction.
I look forward to seeing your progress throughout the module!
Best regards,

Hi Constance,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a detailed and inspiring self-introduction! It's great to learn about your journey from a diploma in Civil Engineering to pursuing further studies. Your passion for structural design and analysis is evident, and it’s impressive how you’ve already honed your teamwork and communication skills.
I can relate to your experience of overthinking during dynamic situations—it’s something I’m also working on. It’s admirable that you’re taking steps to improve your adaptability and spontaneity in communication. I'm sure this module will provide plenty of growth opportunities, and I look forward to seeing you achieve your goals in public speaking and active listening.
Let’s support each other throughout this module and make the most of the learning experience together!
Best regards,

Dear Constance,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this clear and detailed letter, which addresses all the points of the brief. I enjoyed learning about how your interest in engineering has evolved. You also do a fine job discussing how "The challenge of creating safe and efficient structures" has been a motivation for you.
You also share something about your comm skills levels and discuss your "ability to convey ideas clearly and work seamlessly in team settings." That skill will come in handy when you do the project work in our module. :)
I'm also impressed with your desire to be "more adaptable and spontaneous" when interacting with others.
I look forward to working with you further this term.
Best wishes,
Brad
