Very helpful tips on how to structure one's communication. Like anything, planning is essential along with thoughtful and thorough review of the audience and message. I always like to draft a message, let it sit for a day or two before I deliver it. Also, with regards to email communication...I have the pick the phone after three vollies back and forth. I always find that the two parties are not providing the appropriate context for the conversation to be communicated effectively.
This is my first post related to this communications course. The only initial thougtht I have is that communication is a skill that I have worked on my whole life/career. One can always get better at it.
This article provides some perspective on how each state within our country can and does impact the federal student debt levels.
I am a big sports fan. I have been thinking alot about why we (the post-secondary higher ed sector) don't use video to record our faculty and staff while they are instructing or presenting? It would seem to me to be a great training method to improve communications. Many sports teams spend hours reviewing film to study behaviors or patterns.

How many times do leaders/managers just tell employees what to do without explaining why its important or it's rationale. I think it would be a great course for leaders/managers to take part in.
I think this is a really important concept to demonstrate what a person will be exposed to in a post-secondary educational envronment. For programs that have opportunities to show experiential learning or hands on training in progress social media is a great tool. I am curious as to what others are doing for courses that require a more foundational level of learning? For example, medical or automotive terminology. We are alway trying to improve ad
Totally agree. Just like eating food, small bites are usually easier to digest than larger ones.

This has become a very significant issue especially in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We encourage our personnel to stick to the facts, good,bad indifferent. We can't take the chance of over representing any of our programs or their outcomes.
