Re: Individual Reflective Artifact Memo
Reflection
During the last three months of taking Fundamental Interpersonal Communication Course, I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge and the importance of being an effective communicator. With the knowledge that I have gained within this time frame, I feel that I am now looking forward to applying my skills and knowledge in a combined effort where I can continue to grow in my field of expertise.
One of my primary take from this class is the importance of self-awareness and the impact that it has on our day –to-day life in which we so often deal with relationships. The course has made me aware of my weakness, while also giving me the tools need to enhance my strength as a person, and more importantly as a effective communicator. The group project helped me to realize weakness that I was not aware. It has made me aware of my weakness every time I had to submit a paper, which was the most difficult task for me. I began questioning myself because; I expected a high quality of work. However, being aware has leaded me to focus more on my writing skills which is also a very important part of being an effective communicator, especially in the business world.
While I have encountered a wide range of challenging subject in Fundamental Interpersonal Communication it has provided me with much insight in which I was unaware of. It has taught me how essential developing self-awareness really is. Without self-awareness is crucial part of our person growth and development. Most importantly I am leaving this class with the awareness and capability to identify issues and problems that could contribute to my overall relationship with family members, friends and my career. I would recommend this class to anyone that would like to enhance their communication skills for whatever reason.

    Looking back on the course as a whole, I have learned how to effectively analyze my audience and distinguish and adapt my writing for that audience. I learned different ways to make technical documents look appealing to readers while also using graphics ad white space to effectively show the words of the documents. I learned how to work better in a team setting as well as improved my individual writing. My sentence structure and effectiveness has definitely improved over the semester as well. My thoughts about technical writing and technical documents wasn't changed much except for how much thought needs to be put into who the audience is and how to write specifically to that audience. Learning how to write memos effectively and just the general format for them will help me in the workplace. The help I received on my resume and cover letter during the course will help me tremendously getting into the workplace.…
