I know I say this every semester, but where has the time gone? It doesn’t seem that long ago that we began. Still, in this seemingly short period of time, I’ve managed to learn a lot from COM 320.
I knew that I would probably find something in class that stuck in my mind, but I didn’t know what all I didn’t know about communication when I started.
A lot of people back in the day came up with theories regarding communication. With the exception of playing Jeopardy, I don’t see myself ever needing to know their names, but the observations they made were helpful.
I thought that the lessons about verbal and nonverbal methods of communication were interesting to learn. The things that presenting groups did to illustrate the points were good for entertainment, too.
The service learning project itself didn’t have much to do with communication, but planning the event required us to learn to work together and make long term plans.
Learning all this stuff makes me more aware of how I communicate with people and gives me something to fall back on when I need to know how to get my point across. Next year, (which hopefully won’t pass too quickly) I’ll be looking for a job, and these skills will hopefully help me get one.
