Critical Reflection

Before taking this module, my main weakness in communication skills would be the lack of confidence, which causes me to be hesitant when I talk, as well as fear and anxiety. For example, during presentations, I tend to look down at my script due to fear of saying the wrong thing, and my mind often went blank due to stage fright. However, in this module, I was given multiple opportunities to speak in front of the class, which helped me gradually build confidence in speaking publicly. As a result, I became more confident during our presentation, maintaining a steady pace. However, I still didn't speak loudly enough for the entire class to hear me clearly. This experience helped me recognize the areas where I still need to improve. In the future, I aim to speak louder and with more confidence during presentations. In addition to improving my communication skills, I have also learned more about critical thinking. Before attending this module, I typically completed assignments without u...

Reader Response Final

    Prosthetic leg (Ottobock) The webpage “Running Prostheses” from Ottobock introduces the Ottobock 1E91 Runner prosthetic and distinguishes between its functions and features, each serving a unique purpose (Ottobock, n.d.a). In terms of functions, the Runner is designed for athletic performance, enabling amputees to participate in both casual jogging and competitive sports, including sprinting and long-distance running. It is built to store energy with each stride and release it efficiently for forward propulsion, optimizing both speed and endurance. Additionally, the prosthetic offers customizability, allowing adjustments tailored to the individual user’s needs based on their body type and running style (Ottobock, n.d.b). For example, the prosthetic leg can be adjusted in the anterior or posterior direction, allowing the heel strike during the run to be harder (for an aggressive run) or softer (for a more relaxed run). The Runner prosthetic features a carbon-fiber spring we...

Project Contributions Post

We are researching on elevated wheelchair. My contributions to the project: I have prepared the minutes for the discussion, sharing my point about fiberglass prosthetic legs with info gotten from Google as well as ChatGPT, by searching the pros and cons of it. After we chose our topic of elevating wheelchairs, I researched the types of suspension seats on the market on Google. There are electrical, air, and mechanical suspension seats. I shared this with the team, and we checked if any of these suspension seats were suitable for the user or if there were any other types or methods of elevating the user's seat. Had a discussion on what is the best solution for our idea, what we think about the ideas each of us proposed I contributed by discussing the ideal, gap, and goal with the team. Then, we refined our point using chatGPT. I gave multiple ideas and points we could discuss in our background information, have a framework to work, before we research for the necessary content and el...
