This is my final product of the assignment. Thank you for teaching this course and making it actual enjoyable time of my school week. I enjoyed this class very much and learned useful information pertaining to my major and interest thank you for teaching it well.
2. The course was based off the simple definition that
“Technical communication is information expressed in
words (spoken and written) and images that allows
individuals to perform work.”
We saw how technical communication is used and
comes in many forms we also saw how “TC” affects the
world around us in almost every aspect.
3. There are many mediums for individuals to communicate
with each other.
• Orally
• Verbally
• Visually
• Symbolically
• Digitally
• Physically
• Mentally
4. Examples of how “TC” is used…
Communicating with employers
and employees in the work place
Emails
Instructional documents
Speeches
Street signs
It is important to know how to
produce and interpret this
information properly. We must also
be cautious of our audience, so we
can identify when it is okay to be
formal or informal. Some forms of
communication are meant to be
simple while others are more
complex.
Technical communication is everywhere and used everyday.
5. It is easy to accidentally
miscommunicate
processes and situations if
the proper steps aren't
followed or explained
correctly.
The communicator must
always be clear of their…
Audience
Purpose
Problem/solution
Form of communication
(words, symbols, direct
interaction, etc.)
Effectiveness of
proposed solution
Propose idea
Design
Implement
Test and
Troubleshoot
Maintain
6. The semesters course work
consisted of…
“would you rather”
Writing personal resume
Formal proposal
Memos
Improving
communications
situations/problems
Personality tests
Public speaking
All were effective tools in
improving our
communication skills
I learned through my
classmates on how they
handled these activities
and their responses to
certain situations.
We learned how to
properly write and
interpret formal and
informal documents
through these practices as
well.
Technical communications class was an open and interactive
course purposely, we did formal activities and others informal
in order interpret concepts better.
7. The class is based of interactions socially and formally through groups
and group work.
The long term project had us work in a group semester long. We had to
find out where each group member could contribute best to make the
most effective solution to a problem that was relatable to students.
Along the process we learned habits and tendencies of each other that
were positive and negative ones that we had to overcome and work
through in order to get the best final product of the assignment given.
Along with smaller activities in class that gave us insight on how to
work with different classmates, who worked best with who, and learned
that each individual had something to offer. Some better at certain
things than others. Which showed us what it is like to work with all
types of people with different backgrounds, interests, and personalities
in order to complete a certain activity or project.
8. Own opinion
I see myself as a very
confident person, willing to
lead and take the team leader
role because I trust my
judgment strongly. Which
proved to be a strength but I
also learned to be a potential
weakness in that it is hard for
me to trust others with
something that directly
affects me if I am not
completely control of the
situation. (ENTP)
I got insight on how my
fellow classmates
perceived me as well.
Apparently I am perceived
as a friendly, approachable
person as well as someone
that is helpful and
humorous.
Class opinion
