Task #3 Paraphrase

 Paraphrase of Task #3:


Quote: 

"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective

leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a

sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across

clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even

matter."

- Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp


What paraphrase means to me: 

Keeping it short and sweet while still driving the intended message across with no loss in meaning.


Paraphrase: 

Evolving outstanding oratorical skills is vital to effective leadership. It is imperative that a leader can deliver information clearly to invoke a sense of urgency and passion to others. A message becomes meaningless if a leader is unable to get it across clearly and motivate others to act upon it.

Letter of Introduction

  Subject: Self-introduction letter of Teo Joshua To the readers of my blog,    My name is Teo Joshua, and I am writing this letter to formally introduce myself and tell you more about who I am as a person. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in April of 2019 with a diploma in aerospace engineering. I went on to serve my 2 years of national service, where I trained as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist. I secured a place at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SiT) as a mechanical engineering student and began my undergraduate journey in September of 2021. My interest in mechanical engineering started when I was working with remotely operated vehicles during my national service. For such a small robot, I was fascinated by its capabilities, such as movable arms to grab objects and long-range voice transmitters for communication. I was also intrigued by the technology behind the coding of the robots to do what they are supposed to do, which piqued my intere...

Summary Reader Response #4

In the article "How Artificial Intelligence, Robots Enhance Forest Sustainability in Finland", McQueen (2019) states that the Finnish Forest Centre is in charge of overseeing the conservation of Finland's forests and hence came up with an ambitious solution to use robots to autonomously execute most of the forest conservation tasks. McQueen mentions that the data used has to be precise and attainable before the Finnish Forest Centre can use it to train the robots. Aerial and lidar imagery is used to construct forest inventories and record tree measurements and information on species. The data the robots need is then placed in a geographic information system (GIS). The development director of the Finnish Forest Centre, Hamalainen, and his team see robots bringing benefits. People owning more than 65% of Finland’s forests can have simpler and more proactive management of their forests. McQueen reports that the Finnish Forest Centre is also using Artificial intelligence (AI)...
