Communications 1010
Reflection of The Course
Throughout this course, I gained a new understanding of communication in many different forms. Before this course I had a simplified view of communication being a transaction of speak and listen, I opened my mind to the different forms of communication and types such as transactional, linear and interactional. I became more aware of non-verbal communication such as body language tone and how interpreting them can change your relationships. I became a more engaged listener practicing active listening, understanding what was said completely and responding. The group activity especially made me realize what benefits active communication can bring as well as the dangers of subconscious issues like group think. In the future I think I will approach communication with more patience and understanding as well as be more prepared for group interactions. As a communicator I have grown exponentially thanks to this class.
