Class
test 1-3
3 class tests were given during the Effective Public
Communication class, and the scores were too added into our grades. The
learning outcome for these three tests is to understand and explain the basic
ideas of the topic that is being tested. Besides that, these tests are also for
us to use relevant examples or situation to give examples to what we have
learnt in class. These tests are tested basically the meanings of theories in
the text book and also test our applications of a given topic on the videos and
movies that our lecturer had asked us to watch. The tests had forced me to study
and try to understand every chapter that had been taught. After sitting for
these three tests, I have known my level of understanding of the topics tested
in class and I realized that I have much more to learn. The tests are good ways
for me to study as I know if I do not study then I will not score in the tests
and this will affect my final grades for EPC.
Individual
essay
This individual essay is written based on the 4 topics that
our lecturer, Mr. Woon gave. I have chosen the topic on writing about the
differences between communicating online and communicating face-to-face. The
learning outcome for this assignment was to able to explain about the topic
that we have chosen clearly to show that we are clear with what we had learned,
and also expressing our understanding of this topic in a form of accurate
academic essay with relevant citations. I had to search for information and
references to complete my essay. After finishing this assignment, I realize
that communication has much more than I thought it is. I have gained a better
understanding on the topic I have chosen that is about communication. I find
doing researches for this essay is useful as we will gain more knowledge than
what is being taught inside the text book, and it is easier for me to understand
the topic better.
Group
debate
The debate consists of three people in a group and we have
to randomly pick a topic for us to debate. My group got the topic where we have
to debate on the uncontrolled illegal immigrants in Malaysia that has causes
too many cases of theft, robbery and other crimes. The learning outcome of this
debate assignment was to explain the basic ideas of the topic chosen and relate
them to the theories that we have learnt in class and prove mastery on the
topic. Besides that, we will be able to communicate and interact with others
accordingly. This debate also taught us to learn to analyze and respond to
various issues such as handling conflicts and aware of cultural differences and
respect them as well as building a healthy and positive relationships. This
assignment is good that we all have the chance to speak out in class and
communicate with others. We also learned the format of debating. After doing
this debating assignment, I noticed my weakness that is unable to defend our
points firmly comparing to the opposition team. This debate made us look for
useful information that I beneficial to us for our general knowledge too.
Illustration
and scripts
The final project for our Effective Public Communication class is to write out a drama script or draw out comics on the topic given. The learning outcome for this project is to be able to explain the basic ideas of the given topic and use examples relevant to the chosen topic in a form of comics or dialogues. Besides that, this is to prove that we have already mastered the given topic by compiling our knowledge through graphics r dialogues. I and my teammates chose the topic on listening. We chose to do comics for the topic on listening. In the end of our project, we had successfully gave an example on listening and drew it out into a comic form. We had the chance to not only understand the topic better but also give examples and expressing them out through graphics. Group discussion is beneficial for us as we can exchange ideas and give advice to each other.
