Critical Reflection

Module Learning At the start of the module, I set two goals to improve my communication and critical thinking skills. My first goal was to express myself more clearly and effectively in personal and professional contexts. Throughout the module, the professor shared many personal stories about communication. One that stood out was how he successfully pitched an idea to the Head of General Motors at a house party in Portugal. I was surprised to learn that a pitch could succeed in an informal setting. Before this, I assumed a successful pitch requires a formal environment, professional attire, and polished PowerPoint slides. However, I realized that clarity and conciseness mattered more. This insight changed how I view communication and taught me that being clear and straightforward is essential for effective communication. My second goal was to overcome the anxiety I felt when giving presentations. The oral presentation assessment was a great opportunity to practice my public speaking sk...

The Dyson AM09, also known as the Hot+Cool™ Jet Focus fan heater, is a bladeless fan designed for both hot and cold weather. Dyson US (n.d.) states that the AM09 is built with ceramic plates and the Air Multiplier™ technology for heating and cooling respectively. According to Salisbury’s Appliances (2024), the Air Multiplier™ technology lets the fan dispense smooth air 15 times faster, even without spinning parts. Furthermore, it does not have any exposed heating parts. This means that the fan is safe, as the features mentioned help prevent injuries and accidents (Engel, 2024). The AM09 was awarded a “Quiet Mark” distinction from the Noise Abatement Society as it is quieter than previous models due to the smooth airflow. The fan also offers users 10 strength settings (Gibbs, 2015) and can be adjusted using a remote control, which is curved and magnetised to be stored neatly on the fan. Lastly, it can be switched off with a sleep timer of predetermined intervals, ranging from 15 minutes...
