Just one week before the final presentation, ms kay, the HR teaching assistant told my grp that we have substance but no form. no form in the sense of not knowing how to package our knowledge. of course we are despondent.

but after today's presentation, she said that she was pleased with our performance. to her, our this seminar class is labelled as class gentle. the other 3 seminar groups are much more outspoken than my class. thus our name class gentle. but our project presentation is better than the other two classes! hip hip huarry for my class! so proud and pleased to hear such comments! =)

something to share. this is what ms kay will usually give us. letters. haha. at first we find these letters childish and so ahem unnecessary. but now, reading these letters become a consolation. she will give us her overall feedbacks on our indiv assignments, her thots on our class performance etc in letters. here's her latest one. today was our class and she posted this letter this evening. efficient sia. haha.

[ Dear Students,

those groups that we have recommended for client presentations OR that have clients asking for presentations, please let the faculty vet the presentations beforehand. Once you have a firm date and time and definite target audience, please let us know. Set a date at least 3 weeks later. Count 3 weeks from the day on which you confirm the appointment.

It is inadvisable to angle for a client presentation unless I have already specifically encouraged your group to do so, OR unless the client has requested it. The following 5 groups may approach the client for permission to present. Midas, Nautical, Evolution, F.W.D. and Precis. The 2 groups working with ST, I worry. Whilst I ADORED Revitalize's format, it is a little too dramatic for client. The Metricians need to polish their presentation quite a bit more.

Do not be pushy. Ask if it would be helpful for you to present. If they say "yes", then good. If not, leave it. You have lovely stuff to present. If they have no time for it, or if their attitude is that it is a favour to us, it is truly their loss.

It pains me to choose 5 because you were all excellent. I am sending out our best. I request the understanding of all the rest. These are external parties and NTU's branding is at stake. All in all, I am super proud of you. I had expected everyday office wear as in my weekly class requirement. You gave me SUITS! Thanks for the extra mile I didn't ask for.

I know I said I wanted professional presentations, but I didn't seriously think anyone would meet my standard. Yet, some of you DID. Such poise. Such elegance.

I know I said that bright = ability to understand complexity, whilst brilliant = ability to make complexity simple to understand. But I didn't seriously expect any brilliance. Yet some groups were able to design meaningful movement and graphics, fully integrated with meaningful music & narration that made understanding a breeze for the audience. You make me so proud to teach at NBS. Who dares say that NTU people are boring? After they meet us, they will soooooooooo change their minds.

Regarding branding, your face to the client will no longer be Nautical Consulting etc.... We present ourselves as NTU Undergraduates - one face to all clients. There is no shame in calling yourselves undergrads. If our undergrads are like you... wait till you see our grads.
Ms Kay ]

somehow i just felt so happy and assured hearing ms kay praises on us..seriously speaking, throughout the 4 lessons which she took over from our main prof cheryl tay, she never once praise us. coz we seldom contribute during class discussions, she dint realie notice us. we seldom get the chance to present what we did in class and as a result, she says we have substance but no form.

sad as we were, we still want her to notice us. and we did it in today's presentation. haha. just felt so happy. after the presentation, its camera clicking all the way. my god. i just rmb taking photos during the last day in class last semester and so fast, this year's last lesson was today! we took a lot of photos and even class photo.

oh! how i will miss having lessons with these people again. i sure will. i wonder if the nxt time i see these people again, will it be in the HR field? if only time will stop longer today.
