REFLECTION
The purposes of this assignment were to apply the principles of communication and behavior in analyzing interaction with others, both at individual and at group levels as well as understand the concepts of communication, both verbal and nonverbal, and how people behave and communicate in different culture. It also teaches me the importance of cultural differences and respect cultural differences as well as to build healthy and positive relationships with other people as possible.



I was able to understand the food, architecture, people and culture in Alor Street in the process of doing this assignment. Every result emerged from process. Process plays an important role in helping me to accomplish my aim and achieve my goal. It’s verified that each step in a process must be effective and useful otherwise it will become a redundant step in our process. Fortunately, I was able to accomplish my goal when I undertake this assignment and eventually I had learn and achieve the possible outcomes of this assignment.

I was able to communicate the relevant ideas in clear, logical and appropriate academic English after I finish this assignment. Besides that, I feel my academic English speaking skills were further improved.This is because when we speak more, we will be able to speak more fluently compared to the previous time. It also teaches me numerous of presentation skills and the word that cannot be spoken during presentation. This really help me because we cannot do anything if we can’t even communicate our idea freely and effectively to other people, so, I could say that this assignment is crucial and important to most of the students.









PROJECT 3 : COMIC STRIP
For this final assignment, we were required to create a 3 A3 size comic strip that describes events related to our daily life, special occasions and events in campus. These comic strips were also to be based on one of the topics given during lecture sessions of this module. We decided to base our comic strips on the topic Unlucky Day

It also teaches me the importance of cultural differences and respect cultural differences as well as to build healthy and  positive relationships with other people as  possible.  

It is really an interesting assignment because almost all of us read comic strips online, in the newspaper or maybe even in a comic book. This assignment gives us a chance to design our own comic strip in cooperative group. This has enhanced my ideas because I used to brainstorm   countless of ideas when I was doing this assignment. Besides that, I had developed my creativity and drawing skill since both of them are inevitable factors in drawing a comic 
strip.
