COURSE/YEAR/SECTION:
Communication, Process, Principles, and Ethics
A. DIFFICULT CONCEPTS (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)
1. 6 Cs to Effective Communication
2. Communication Ethics (Berko, 1995)
3. Principles of Communication
B. INSIGHTS (What new insights or learning did you gain from the topic?)
1. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that there were only a few
illustrations of the communication process.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that there are
plenty of models for the communication process aside from the well-known ones.
2. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that message and context
are the same when it comes to communication elements.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that message
and context crucially differ when we talk about the elements of communication. The message is
the literal meaning itself, while context is the setting where the communication occurs.
3. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that written communication
is a form of non-verbal communication.
However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that non-verbal
communication is a type of communication that does not involve words. In contrast, written
communication is a form of verbal communication that is being transmitted in written or
printed words, although not being spoken.
C. QUESTIONS (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you want
explanation more?)
1. What is the difference between conciseness and concreteness?
2. What are the other well-known models for the communication process?
3. Why is feedback significant in every communication process?
