Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. ~ Jim Rohn

QLK520 - Communications Skills for Teachers

1. I felt that this module has allowed me to understand more about my own form of communication, and the quirks which are tied to them.

2. I also felt that the module has given me some methods to improve on my communication skills, and they would serve as a good experience/way to practice such improvements as I continue on my path of teaching.

3. I also felt that the module has given me an overview of what to expect in a classroom, the kind of replies that students will give during lessons, as well as how to reply to students in an efficient manner to ensure that lessons are able to carry on as planned.

4. Finally, I felt that the module has sufficiently prepared me for office life, mostly through teaching us the right way to use emails to communicate our ideas to others in a proper way to prevent misunderstandings from happening, as well as how to elicit requests in a polite manner as to facilitate the process of asking for a favour in a positive way.

Overall, though the module is a little dry, the benfits of having this module still outweighs not having it at all, to prepare all of us for our practicum/BT stages.
