Final Reflections
Performed learning activities or tasks, assignments, and speeches on time (as per our
Scheduled Plan of Activities)
I presented each speech and submitted all assignments on time. I followed the schedule. When I was absent I still submitted my assignments on angel. I reviewed the guides to make sure I was prepared for my assignments on the due date.
Executed effective communication, collaboration and/or leadership skills
I believe I communicated well with my professor and other classmates. We only had one group assignment. Another part to this would also be reviewing the material uploaded on angel. The deadline for assignments was available online. I knew what was due and when so I had time to communicate any problems I encountered.
Rendered well-thought out speeches, reflections, and work output
I thought my speeches and reflective journals were done well. I put time and thought into each project. I allowed myself enough time to evaluate each assignment thoroughly before responding. After an assignment was completed, I took more time to review my final project for errors. The biggest strategy for this was time management.
Fulfilled the ethical requirements of public speaking (AVOID: plagiarism, ethnocentrism, egocentrism, and commission of fallacies)
My citation in the beginning wasn’t the best. I had to take time to review the proper method and then carefully execute that. This took time but I needed to pay attention in class and to the files uploaded on angel. Obviously, what I was doing to cite was not correct so I needed to make a change.
Overcame speech anxiety or fear and other undesirable communication habits
I wasn’t very anxious or afraid to give a speech so I don’t feel that I had any issues with this. My prior experience allowed me to present speeches well.
Reflected well on your learning process and learning accomplishments and be able to present valuable learning output or accomplishments (PORTFOLIO Presentation)
I do feel that through my reflective journals I have built a good foundation for the portfolio presentation. I think my speeches were well written and delivered. My biggest strategies were time management and honesty. I can be honest to my mistakes and I put time into each assignment.
Maintained positive attitude, practiced positive core values, and philosophy in life and show appreciation of the value of lessons learned in this course to one’s personal, academic and professional goals.
Even with my prior experience I took the course seriously. I went into the course with a positive attitude and completed each assignment with a purpose. I was open to learning new things and I feel that I did improve my skills. My reflective journals allowed me to show an appreciation of what I learned in class.
Applied the principles and techniques of effective speech preparation and speech delivery as well as apply speech evaluation skills (being able to assess the effectiveness of one’s own speech delivery or performance and that of others)
I felt that I was effective in my speech preparation. I choose topics that I was passionate about and that I thought others could easily relate to. I allowed myself enough time to research my material and become familiar with it. I also put a lot of time into preparing and organizing my presentations. As far as the evaluation skills, I do feel they improved over the course. Reflecting on our own work is not something that you have to do for many classes. The process of reflecting was extremely baneful though and allowed for personal growth.
Nurtured and enriched communication potentials for personal, academic and career success
I feel that I do have strong communication skills but this course reinforced those skills. In order to be successful it is important that I take the time to stop and communicate things with others around me.
Communicated in a positive, ethical, respectful, and professional manner
I felt that I was able to communicate with my professor and classmates well. Whether reflecting on my speech or a classmate’s, the communication was always positive and respectful. The information in my assignments was my own or either cited properly fulfilling my ethical requirement.
Experienced success in this course as you effectively utilized technology and other class resources we have. Give 3 to 5 words that best describe your learning Experience and success in class and explain or give reasons WHY?
I believe I was successful. I was already familiar with the various forms of technology and resources that we used. However, as far as delivering speeches my skills improved. I took the course with an open mind and I learned new things. I can now cite my sources better and that will be a very valuable tool in the future.
