   Marceau Evariste                Summarizing  chapter #6        The difference between listening and hearing ? People often believe that hearing and listening are the same thing ,but they are not. Hearing is physiological process ,while listening is a cognitive process .Listening occurs only when we choose to attach meaning to what we hear .Listening is important for effective communication because we spend 50 % or more of our communication time listening.        We must overcome three major challenge based ,our personal listening style ,listening apprehension ,and processing approach to become effective listener .our listening style might be content oriented, people oriented, action oriented ,or time oriented .Listening apprehension is the anxiety we feel when trying to listening effectively, which can interfere with success .And the approach to listening may be unconscious and passive or c...

     This semester looks like to be a good one ,on the first day of class 98% of students were presented .The instructor is very nice so far, she presented the semester with promise that every student is going to be happy at the end of the semester. The total of students are divided into three groups ,each has over 10 people ,and has for mission the presentation of their project.     However ,the first week of class was troublous to me ,because the system is very complicated to navigate ,and then I believe I have an helpful leader who is open to help the rest members of the group. Also our classmates are participates I ,m glad to one this team of students,

  Our first day of school was May 10 and I was a little scared because I did not know any of my classmates. Our teacher decided to divide the students into 3 groups, and I think that it was a great idea. I am in group number three. In my group there are 13 members, and they are very organized and studious. We created a WhatsApp group to communicate, and we chose a leader to represent our team. The leader divided the topic of our group among all the members. In this way the work became easier and more effective. I was scared because it is a communication class, and I am shy to speak. When I have any questions, I write in the chat and my classmates always respond. The first week of school I still did not have my book, and one of my classmates sent the photos to the WhatsApp group. My team presented Chapter 10. The topic was very useful because we learned to work as a team. Obviously, we put it into practice because we exchanged our thoughts and opinions. We did a power point, and eac...

 Blog #1                 To begin with it is a honor working with group number 3. The reason why is that everyone work as a team everyone divided the work equal amount of work. last week when we started summer class our group were select by the professor we had two days to finished our first group project by next class. so we created a group and talk about what to do for our assignment. for group three we got chapter 10 so we have to summarize the Chapter 10 and do presentations based on chapter 10            In our group we have to chapter 10 so we have summarized the chapter in a powerpoint and we had to presented in front of the class.

In this chapter is mostly about the leadership.  in chapter 10 we had 15 pages to read and five we all divided work for each sub ...

                                   REFLECTION      We were split into classes at the start of this class to work on assignments during the semester. My classmates and I debated who wanted to be the leader on the first day of class; no one wanted to be the leader because it brought more pressure to the schedule of life; however, because no one had taken the initiative, I volunteered to be the leader; however, in my group, we are all leaders and we all make and vote for final decisions.  Group 1: Intercultural Communication      Group 1 did chapter 3, they did a fantastic job explaining the basics of intercultural communication. Intercultural communication, as they demonstrated in their lecture, refers to the difficulties of interacting with people of different cultures. Apart from mine, I believe they are my favorite team so far; their slides we...

Kevin Baez presentation

I want to start off by saying that every group did a amazing job prestenting their topics.I was suprised that every group had enough timed to present that day. Group one was a interesting topic, they spoke about the fundamental of intercultural communication. This topic was already amazing because it speaks about Communication between different cultures, a perfect example is us hispanics speaking Spanish to each other. Group one did a great job presenting fundamental of intercultural communication perfect amount of slides and right amount of information on each slide and the videos gave a great understanding of their topic. Group two had to focus on the importance of communication as a group. this topic was perfect because they are already working in a group so it makes it easier for them to write about. communication within a group is very important because if you dont communicate in the group nothing will get done correctly. Group two did a great job presenting this topic nothing...

  I found this class very interesting. On the first day of class, the professor already gave us work to do. She separated us into three groups to do a presentation about the chapters of the book. In the beginning, I thought it was not going to be easy because normally people do not have communication skills and with everything online, some people were going to have bad internet or would not be able to completely express themselves through the computer. My group found ways so everybody could communicate. First, we created a What's app group chat where most of the people from the group could join. Our group leader made some group chat calls, people like it that way and they found a way to get the work done. I couldn't join the call since I was at work. People talked the whole through the chat to make sure everybody was doing their work. Once I got out of work, I started working on my part, my partner which I was supposed to work with. Was not in the group chat, I had to text her ...

Internal Communication On the first day of class and we had gotten our first assignment, and it was a presentation on a chapter we were to be assigned and it would be presented in the next class. Before starting presentations we had been separated into 3 groups with each group having a leader. Group 3, my group, was assigned chapter 10 and would use google docs to put it together. By using google docs we were able to communicate and review our presentation together, we also had a group chat to send information or plans times in the day we would be available to work on the presentation. It was nerve-racking to start a class with a group presentation, but not only did my group communicate with one another and expressed concerns, but each group helped one another with problems we couldn't find a fix on our own.  The chapters we had been presenting, had ironically helped us work together better as we read how to work as a team, solve problems, find solutions together, and value everyon...

     Last Monday, May 10 th  was our first day of class. I was so nervous because is a speech class. As the name suggests, is a class when you have to speak in front of other people. Public speaking classes allow practice and preparation to overcome this debilitating occurrence. Although taking public speaking classes can improve communication skills tremendously, I get nervous always I have to do a speech in public. Just as I feared that same day we were split into groups and were assigned a group presentation two days later. Also, I am aware that presenting and defending ideas eventually improves confidence and better previously weak communication skills, so I thought I have to do it and give the best of myself.      In my group which is group three, there are 13 people. I remember I was wishing they would be nice and kind. Better than that, and to my surprise, I noticed looking at the classmate’s names that in the entire class there were like five p...

Group 3 Presentations. Jonh Marin

    At the beginning of this class, we were divided into groups to carry out projects throughout the semester. In the group to which I was assigned we had to present chapter 10. The title of this chapter is “Group Leadership and Problem Solving”. This chapter was a bit long, in my group, we decided to divide the chapter among all. We all had a topic to talk about in class. Through the phones, we were all able to communicate and select the subject of each one. After all of us do our part of the work, the leader of the group created the document in Google Slides. Through this, we were able to develop our own work on the slides. This helped us a lot since when it came to presenting our work, our classmates were able to understand us better. In our presentation, we talk about very important topics. This helped us to understand many things, but the most important thing was that it taught us how to work as a team. Working well as a team is a fundamental point for the presentations t...

       On Monday, May 10th, 2021 was the first day of class and we were split into groups and were assigned a group  presentation.  In the group we each had to do 3 slides on what we were going to talk about. Group one did an amazing job presenting and showing a few videos about each part of their assignment as well as group 2. In my group, which is group 3 we had chapter 10 which was “Group Leadership and Problem Solving” everyone had different parts on what we each were going to talk about. As a team we all did an outstanding job with our communication and working skills. Most of us in the group didn’t have the book but one of our group members had the book and sent out pictures of the chapter we needed to cover. Although, my phone is currently broken now I didn’t know who/where to get the picture from so I emailed one of my group members Tamiyah which she was a huge help shout out to her! She literally saved me from getting an A on the presentation. ...

Group Presentations (Tamiyah's PVO)

  Group presentations that were held on Wednesday, May 12th was awesome. Each group did such a phenomenal job at presenting their power points by projecting their voices, including attention-grabbing videos and pictures, and interacting with the rest of us in the class. Further I liked the fact that we are all in groups, doing projects like these because Teamwork makes the Dream Work! When I presented my part of the project, I was kind of nervous but once I felt the energy of other people presenting doing so well, I fed off of it and just went with the flow, although I wasn't able to share my videos because we were running low on time everything was still well said and explained well enough. Presenting as a group is a group effort, but it also teaches you individual presenting skills as well. I can come off as bold but in reality, I’m very shy and don’t like to open up until I’m comfortable and that’s exactly how it was in my group, I got comfortable as if I knew my team members al...

    On the first day of class, my classmates and I were divided into groups with each group member in charge of creating a presentation of certain lessons in the chapter. I was assigned to group three and we were responsible for presenting chapter ten "Group Leadership and Problem Solving". In order to complete the presentation in a timely and orderly fashion, my group divided the work evenly among all the group members. In addition, we created a WhatsApp group chat in order to communicate our comments and concerns outside of class hours. I strongly believe that our group participants made it simple for our classmates outside of our designated group to understand what we were presenting. Everyone in the group was assigned a minimum of three slides per assigned lesson they were doing. Anytime we had concerns we would simply ask in our group chat and one or more members of the group would help us with our questions. Needless to say that my professor was also helpful and explain...

                                       Group 3 Reflection blog post(Neica sainvilus)  ( This picture shows two people shaking hands. On their hands are different countries.)    Group 1: Group 1 did an amazing job at presenting the fundamentals of intercultural communications. As they showed in their presentation, intercultural communication is the difficulty that occurs between people of different cultures when it comes to communicating. I love the video Ailime presented, the video talks about the differences between race and ethnicity. Usually, many people don't understand the difference between those two things. Group 1 also discussed the topics such as culture shock and the values each culture holds. I think group 1 was an organized group. I say this because, on each slide of their presentation, I could see the name of the team members. That means, they had an order in w...
