Interpersonal Communication Course Analysis

Competence in interpersonal communication can be assessed both through general interpersonal interactions and non-verbal communication. Both general competence and non-verbal competence are very important to the way that we communicate and have great influence on the message that we relay to those with whom we communicate. After watching the conversation recorded between Matt and I, I have realized that although there are some areas in which I am a competent communicator, there are areas where I could benefit to improve.

When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship. It might sound like an odd relationship to choose, seeing as he is an ex, and it might not sound like a good starting point, but let me first say he is one of my best friends right now.

Interpersonal communication is the most important kind of communication. It happens when two individuals are in a close proximity to each other, and they are able to provide immediate feedback to one another. IPC (interpersonal communication) is the way we express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas to the people around us. Interpersonal communication is something you need to do well as it affects many aspects of your life.

Intercultural Communication 335 was an 8 A.M. class I thought would be a drag but once Dr. Miller got into lecture I enjoyed going to class. The name of the course is “Intercultural Communication” meaning there are subjects such as race, stereotypes, thriving social issues, and many other topics that are discussed throughout the semester. Keeping an open mind about the course would certainly help in coping through certain material covered. I assume some people were not aware of the topics that were to be discussed because various times it occurred that students walked out of the class because they probably disagreed about the topic. Overall I enjoyed the course because I like to address topics like the ones discussed in class.

I am currently majoring in worship arts with a concentration in music production. For my future profession, I plan on being a worship leader at a church. I do not see myself leading a church every Sunday, but instead being part of a community of worshipers and leading nights of worship in different cities across the globe. Interpersonal communication, public speaking, and organizational communication are the most necessary skills I will need for my future. I will need interpersonal communication when I am leading worship because I will need to be exchanging my feelings with everyone else and God. When you are speaking to a congregation, you want to engage in everyone’s feelings to build trust- especially with people who may be new to the faith.

This is my 3rd or 4th course, depending on how you want to see it at Kaplan. I was confident, after a couple of days looking at the material, that I was going to pass my 1st or 2nd-course at Kaplan, depending on how you look at it Introduction to the Law and Legal Profession. I did indeed pass that class, in fact, I got a 94.80%, an A. I was happy with myself. I am 42 years old and never been to college before. The 2nd class was Interpersonal Communication. To say I was not as confident in passing this course would be the understatement of the year.

Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten

Being of this course I feel I learned a lot. The little I did know about human communication I feel I have a lot more knowledge than I did before the course started. I learned the foundations of communication, fundamentals of communication, communication between two people, communication outside of only having just two people such as multiple groups, communication in specific contexts, communication through technology, and the applications of communication.

The short-term longitudinal study operated by McElwain, Ogolsky, Engle, Holland, and Mitchell (2016) seeks to discover how child-child similarity on temperament and attachment can act as predictors of interaction quality between previously unacquainted children. The purpose of this study was to add to current research and knowledge concerning the friend selection process of young children. This study’s observations increased the understanding of hemophilic selection of peer partners, as well as attachment and temperament research (McElwain et al., 2016). Overall, the study examined the types of interactions that would take place between pairs of children who both possessed similar levels (low, moderate, or high) of child-mother attachment

The course assignment that had the most impact on me would be an assignment from an interpersonal relations class in winter of 2017. The directions stated write a 6 page essay about a topic pertinent to interpersonal relations, in APA format, from a third person perspective. The essay had to be scholarly and include at least three sources, cited in APA format, without any direct quotations. Therefore, I had to use paraphrasing to get my points across, which I had never done. The paper was graded heavily on the citations and formatting, which meant I had to pay close attention to the details. All of these areas are not strengths I possessed at the time, although I could learn how to do these things. The reasons this assignment had the most impact

In every society nonverbal communication is one of the most powerful tools that a person can use to interpret the message that is being delivered. Even though verbal communication is fairly straightforward, nonverbal communication allows others to sense the true emotions of the person that is expressing them. For example even though a person may say that they are not irritated, their usage of voice may display otherwise. Nonverbal communication not only reveals hidden messages, but it also complements, substitutes, and exaggerates verbal communication.

However, due to being nervous, I spoke with a high pitch, low volume and at a fast pace. This had a negative impact on how the information was communicated to the audience. It exerted anxiety and urgency from the sender to the receiver, which caused a barrier to communication. In reflection of this experience, I have learnt that by controlling my verbal communication, I can converse with confidence and ensure a clear message is received.
