Reflection One
What have you learned and/or re-learned in the last 4 weeks of our sessions? (Specifically identify the concepts, principles, and skills in public speaking that you have learned and/or re-learned).
That with every speech I give I feel more comfortable in sharing with the class. I have shown improvement from my first speech and this speech. I feel more convident in speaking when all the attention is on me. I have learned that when I think about it speaking in front of a class isn't all as bad as I thought it was.
Have your learning techniques, time management, and learning attitude been effective in this course? If yes, why do you say so? If not, why do you think so?
I believe that my learning techniques and learning attitude has changed because, when we get to pick our own topics to discuss with the class, our creativity level goes up. We get to talk about something that we already know about.
Are your instructor’s teaching style and approach, as well design of learning lessons and learning activities effective and able to help you learn and/or relearn things in speech communication? WHY do you think or say so?
I believe that I have learned alot about public speaking, from watching someone else speak to myself speaking to the class. The teaching style of our instructor was very easy to learn from and I know that the teaching that she gave will help me go further in life. The activities that we did also had a positive afect on me. The exercise that we did last week, picking a number and talking about that topic was really benefical. Helps you talk about something on the spot, not having anytime to prepare for.
