Monday's class was really fun. The class and I had a speech about the three things in our bag. We also described what they are and what they are about us. It was great. Our teacher scrambled our names in order for us to present. I think I sucked in the class that night...hahaha...I guess. I hope on our next speech we all do well and get a passing grade.

Todays class session was really an attention getter. Did a coded communication channel speech assignment. Where we all had to stand up in front of the whole class and represent the three things we had in our bag and how it decodes us. I was nervous at first just by watching my other classmates do their speech. Almost like a stage fright, but I got over it and I must say when I finally got called up and did it, it was kind of fun and what a relieve it was.

I am very proud of each and every one of you.  You all did a great job presenting your first speech in EN091.  Just remember that communication is a process.  With guidance, application, effort and time you will be presenting speeches in your sleep.  Once again:  great job.

Mondays class

Mondays class was very interesting I learned alot of things about myself that I did not know about.   I learned alot of types of communication to talk to people and how to get the message across.  I have used the methods of communications on people at work and at home.  I also used the different kinds of communications with my parents listening to the things that they tell me rather than ignoring them.  I have learned alot in fundamental of communications and I'm looking forward to learn more.

The second day of our fundamental communications class was really, really great. We all got to learn about our weaknesses and etc. Hopefully, our teacher Mrs. Q. helped us understand what the assessment test was all about. The test really opened my eyes and made me want to push myself even more in class.
But there is still something blocking me from doing what I want to do. That one thing is, (having to go up in front of the class and presenting our speech for this coming monday. We have to have all together, 4 things in our bag. The forth thing that we have to talk about is our bag. This is going to be a big challenge for me and the people who have that stage fright.

I hope that tonights slide show presentation placed the theory of communication in a comfortable nutshell for each of you.  As you have learned, we all have an intelligence.  Some of us may have multiple intelligences.  The connection is this:  we can become effective and successful at communicating if we

1. obtain the knowledge and skill
2. develop them (practice, practice, practice ...)
3. use our strengths/intelligence

We all have the potential to use communication in our everyday lives effectively if we just do it.  Hence, a famous poet once said that "The only way out is through".

The famous quote of the day "THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THRU", and that is so true. Learned the meaning of Aparity I believe thats the word. Anyway it means taking words from one song and changing it to another. I also took the Multiple Intelligence test and found out that I fall under a category that indicates me as a strong ability person. Lastly I now have to create a speech about decoding who I am, but I'm not worried about that im concerned about presenting it.

This past monday has had a very big meaning to what we did in class. I really learned a lot about myself and worked hard to achieve the work that we had done in class. The work had lots of meaningful thoughts that had to work with the brain. It had reading, thinking, and using our common sense. Hopefully, when we take the class work sheet again, this time we all passed with flying colors. The most important thing we used in class was our communicating skills with the teacher and my classmates. We got to know each other and there weaknesses. I pray that this all changes at the end of the semester.

First Assignment: 01/18/2012

Welcoming myself into EN091-02. The first day of classes will continue to be an introduction of myself and others. The exercise we did in class helped me to understand how simple it is to categorize a human being. Whether or not you hit it on the spot or to just make a gesture. Hopefully my interpretations of my fellow classmates shall be underestimated.  Thank You.

Last night class was where we were given a two assessment test to take.  After we were all done waiting for me.  I know, i need to work on my time.  I'm slow and speed is not want of my talents.  Anyways sorry for being the last one. We then did an individual and group discussion on the topics Mrs. Quichocho gave us to reply on.  The Multipule Intelligence Test was a true an false test that at the end told us what our strengths are.  It was a great refreshing and learning new communication skills for me.  Our fellow classmate Joel stated on communication with his childern and childern with him.  I agree with him that at times it does get difficult but i pray only time will let them know and understand what we are trying to say or teach them.

Tonight, was a class time were we did a lot of reading and usage of our brains. But i did learn about my communicating skills and what I need to work on. I found where are my weaknesses are and my strengh is. We also did a ture or false questionaire where I found out  what are some of my abilities for communicating.

The two assessments:  

1)  The Communication Skill Assessment

2)  Multiple Intelligence Test

was a great way to start our first day of learning in EN091.  The use of the two assessments communicated a thing or two about every student.  Additionally, the assessments communicated a thing or two about myself.  The assessments truly served as an amazing set of tools; perfect as the precursor to our EN091:  Communication for Success Spring 2012 course.  Tonights positive class discussion is a harbinger of good communication skills to come from each member.  Thank you for your contributions :)
