Reflection Of Communication And Communication

Decent Essays
Communication 150 was probably one of the classes that I have learned a lot from the most! I learned how to keep my relationships with my friends and family on the same level. I learned techniques on how to make communicating better. I learned about the I/YOU meaning, how this can help people stay on track and not get offended. I learned techniques that can help me at my work. I work with kids and every time there is a party, I need to talk in front of kids and parents. At first, I was scared because I would stutter and make mistakes. In this class, I learned

I learned from the professor about the I/YOU definition, meaning how persuasively a person can be without the other person getting offended. When using sentences such as “I feel like..” or “I see this as …” the other person can’t deny or persuade you to change your mind, as they cannot contradict you on your own feelings. When accusing the other person can be like “ You did this…” or “You said this..”. They can successfully contradict you as they know what they

These skills have taught me not only how to talk to someone but how to listen to those communicating. Communicating is not all about talking but also listening and understanding the conversation. It wouldn 't function right without both sides listening or talking. Listening skills showed me how to listen and understand someone better. Now I know how important it is to not only listen but tp show that I am listening. Verbal and nonverbal communication can be a little tricky, as we think communication is all about verbally talking and it plays a key to communicating but also non verbal can take a turn. Nonverbal communication is basically how you react physically or the kind of facial expression you give to the other person. When you talk to someone and tell them a bad comment, they will probably be sad. And you see that feeling being reflected in their

    There are a few items I would share with my father about what I have. The first item I would like to explain would be how different an online experience is compared to an in-class setting. His entire college career was spent in the classroom so I think he sees these courses as a gimmick. Accessing the Bethel Online Database (Chambers, 2016) and letting him experience some of the resources first hand should set his mind at ease.…

Staff training works, and supports communication because service users feel like they are being listened to, because staff can relate to service users when they have their own experience, therefore their conversation may have more meaning, and be more deep. This is more beneficial than staff just collecting information because the service…

    Areas that I feel like I have improved in during this communications 101 course is becoming more confident in speaking in front of a small crowd, learning how to write speeches, and learning how to research and prepare for speeches. Everyone 's fear is public speaking. I avoided taking this class for the longest time just because I did not want to have to take a class where its entirety was just about speaking in front of people and doing a handful of speeches being my primary grade. I needed to take this class for when I transfer over to Arizona State University in the fall of 2017 so getting this class out of the way now at the University of Nevada was more of an ideal plan rather than taking it at ASU. This class is a core pre-requisite…

    After reflecting on the various ways to be a more competent communicator and reviewing the course work I think I have some communication skills that are strengths and some that are areas for improvement. Such strengths would be my use and understanding of both verbal and nonverbal communication. For my career, I spend most of my day communicating with school faculty, parents, students, and my employees. I pride myself in speaking well and using the appropriate tones, language, and timing when speaking to various individuals. I also try and focus on nonverbal communication, not just that of my own, but of others that are having conversations with me.…

    According to (skillsyouneed) listening interpersonal skills are key to effective communication, which that can eliminate being misunderstood when information is conveyed. The first rule of mastering listening is you must stop talking, put your focus on what the speaker is saying without interruption. Secondly, show the speaker that you are engaged in the conversation by maintaining eye contact and use nods or other gestures that show you are interested and listening. Show empathy with the speaker but do not agree with something that is not true, wait then counter but keep an open mind of the views and opinion of the speakers. Next, pay attention to the tone of the speaker, which will give insight of the emphasis of what is being said to get a bigger picture of the speaker’s ideas by linking information together.…

Throughout my week, I would write in my Interpersonal Communication Journal about all of the different types of conversations I came across. Not one conversation was the same. They were all about different topics. Each journal entry I would write, however, had all different aspects to them.…

    Interpersonal communication is the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. It is a person-to-person contact, it includes everyday exchange that may be formal or informal and can take place anywhere by means of words, sounds, facial expression, gestures and postures. Two significant learning points for me during this course was in module 3, using the I-language instead of you-language which gives power over our thoughts, feelings and emotions to others. To take responsibility for your own feelings, rely on I language rather than you language. I language owns thoughts and feelings and does not blame them on others (Wood 125).…

    Growing up as an only child, I’ve always been required to possess the ability to communicate with adults. Whether it was just simply greeting them at the door or small talking, I was always forced into the spotlight. These awkward at first interactions forced me to develop the capability of small talk and eventually built up the confidence for me to start to convey my ideas to others, especially those with seniority over me. This confidence has led me to impart my own take on things, especially in English class. Even if it turns out that I am wrong, I still attempt to communicate my thoughts in order to be peer-reviewed and see how my perspective compares to others.…

    In his book, Floyd emphasizes nonverbal communication as the “behaviors and characteristics that convey meaning without the use of words” (179). Before this lesson, I didn’t notice that regular people use nonverbal communication as much as nonverbal people. Nonverbal communication provides a better connection between two individual. Unlike normal communication, nonverbal communication requires us to observe the partner’s facial expression and body language than just words. Therefore, we understand our partner feeling and emotion better.…
