Small Group Semester Study

Improved Essays
During this semester studying in Communication with small groups, I’ve gained a good amount of knowledge on both communication skills and how to interact with different people.
I think good communication skills were needed in a lot of majors, for instance, marketing.

A., & Masterson, J.

The teaching styles of a high school teacher and a college professor is very divergent and tend to develop in different directions.

    You are in class one day when the teacher announces a new assignment: students are to research and give an informative speech about any topic of their choosing. As the student, imagine that you are terrified to not only present the speech in front of your entire class, but to have to go through the process of picking a topic, researching it, organizing your speech, and practicing it as well. At the beginning of my communication class, this was how I felt about producing and giving speeches. I was nervous to talk in front of the class because I have always been very shy and have suffered from extreme speech apprehension. I also dreaded picking a topic and organizing my speeches as well, since I could never make up my mind and I was never good…
