Effective Communication

Effective written and oral communication skills have been viewed as core competencies for undergraduate students in major universities in the world and are required by employers for today’s globalised workplace. Specific communication skills required of computer science undergraduates include the ability to present evidence-based business and technical information both in writing and orally to technical and non-technical audiences. This module aims to help students develop such abilities through business email writing, poster presentations, technical report writing, and reflective writing through small group discussions and a process improvement project. Teams of students are required to explore authentic problems and propose viable solutions within real-world contexts.
