My First Online Class At Brenau And I Was Nervous

This video was extremely helpful as it not only helped me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, but also allowed me to analyze the contents of my presentation from a third person point of view. First regarding the strength, I noticed that I preferred to use minimum speaking notes as possible as it allowed me to stay in my natural flow and interact with the audience whenever possible, thus giving me the freedom to change my presentation pace when needed. I also believe that I was able to provide an Extemporaneous Delivery, which not only made me feel very comfortable, but gave me more confidence with my topic. I also maintained a proper eye contact with as many audiences as possible, which allowed me to grab the audience attention instantly.

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help

My experience with the live demonstration left me with mixed feelings. After 10 weeks in the classroom I have gained a lot of information but most of all learnt several effective communication skills to use in different situations when interacting with people. However, sitting face to face with someone where I am playing the role of a professional counsellor; is a bit frightening. During the session I tried to pay attention to the person in front of me

During my first semester at Touro College, I took a course on the History and Philosophy of Education and Special Education. Throughout this course, I was introduced to many philosophers and their theories, which helped me to develop a personal educational philosophy that I will implement into my own future classrooms. In our very first class session, we examined the word ‘education’. Education derives from two Latin roots, educare: to bring up, to train, to teach, and educere: to lead forth, to draw forth, to guide. In the world of education today, a child’s success in school is primarily dependant on his or her ability to pass standardized tests; this embodies the concept of educare. Knowledge is passed down from the teacher to the

Whether I like it or not I been given the opportunity to talk to large crowds like a squadron or just a couple of people in the class. My problems have always been the same getting shy, anxiety, and even sweating. Learn to analyze the size of the audience, I want to be able to captivate my audience and overall I just need to find the confidence in myself to do it.

This class aims to address public speaking and I definitely feel more confident when speaking in front of audiences, especially since I now know the #1 rule of public speaking - KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. I learned about topics in writing and speaking that I did not even know existed even though i saw and heard them everyday. Rhetorical Devices such as Anaphora and Chiasmus are perfect examples of this. Incorporating story into speaking and writing is something that is crucial and I really realized this throughout the semester. This helped me improve my speaking and writing abilities. Even though I despised waking up early for this class, I definitely feel like I gained vast knowledge on speaking and writing. I learned the importance of giving readers a roadmap for them to follow. I noticed a big difference which was also reflected in my grade from my informative speech to my persuasive speech. I was definitely more clear and confident by my second speech. I learned how to make eye contact with my audience while speaking. This class helped me gain valuable insight into my topic - Poverty In India. I found that there was so much more to my topic than just plain facts. In terms of the learning outcomes for this class, I feel i managed to achieve the vast majority of

From day one, I noticed the relative ease of the course. The two friendly instructors welcomed the entire class, and they presented the material in a simple and comprehensible manner. My seven classmates and I bonded immediately. I recall

With any course, especially one with a focus as broad as leadership, the material covered may include a range from useful to impractical. It is impossible to learn the skills necessary of an effective leader completely out of a book, it takes the application of them to understand. The development of leadership is vital to successfully moving forward in any career, so it would be beneficial to cultivate these skills academically.

- What I did well during my speech was looking at my audience. I was always facing my audience and have a quick view to my PowerPoint. I believe I did well on these aspects because I wasn’t like the other students always looking at the PowerPoint and not even facing the audience. I know this is a public speaking class and the point is to talk to our audience while facing them.

I would anticipate that COM362: Argumentation and Advocacy could be the challenging class for me. I took a communication class before, and I did not have a good experience giving speeches. However, I believe that this time will be different because I count on the Student Success Center, where I have the Writing Center. To prepare a speech, the first step is to write the ideas and information about my topic and create a well-done script. That is why the Writing Center will help me to correct the grammatical and punctuation errors in my script. The way how my speech is written is crucial to deliver an effective message.

As I mentioned previously, I expected more out of it but I was able to learn an abundance of techniques on how to work with others. I also learned about my flaws and strengths when working in a group. As for professor Glumac, I would suggest using Blackboard. The constant printing and “turning in” process was very high school to me and paperless trails just work best, in my opinion. Also, often times the lectures were a bit of bore, staying awake was troubling most times. Since the class was three hours long, I feel as though more media could have been incorporated to fill the time instead of reading or stretching out presentations. This is a great class for those who want to work with people in the future, I would it suggest to those seeking any classes that relates to communication but for me it was not that

There has been growth in my performance and effectiveness of my communication and organizational skill at clinical from clinical day 1. I intend to improve in this area with continuous practice and following the organization plan my clinical instructor provided.

I improved on my understanding of education by having the opportunity to learn more about lesson plans. This class has helped me to grow in my understanding of students by allowing me to interact with them on a regular basis. Teaching lessons has become something that this course allowed me to become more comfortable with. While I still need to improve on my time management while creating lessons, I believe that this course has shown me what I need to do to teach an effective lesson.

I utilized the feedback provided by my instructor to improve my performance on subsequent responses and coursework.
