Pre-course Assessment (200-300 words)

My strengths in professional, written
communication are:
My weaknesses in professional,
written communication are:
My strengths and weaknesses in
spoken communication are:
One of my strengths is being concise and clear. I like
to try and get to the point and keep it short, I do this
because I feel like readers take in half of what you say
and just want you to get to the point rather than trying
to extend your words to make you sound professional
or smart. Another strength I have is I like to be
consistent and polite when I write anything. Written
communication is obviously different then verbal
communication because you don’t hear the persons
voice but you just have to imagine it, my point is that it
is very easy to misinterpret someone and think that
maybe they are rude and grumpy people based on
how they write.
One of my weaknesses would definitely be the fact
that I prefer talking verbally with someone rather than
writing which sometimes tends to lead to mistakes in
communication from my end. I always try to revise my
writing even if it’s a simple text but when my mind is on
20 different things at once I tend to make mistakes.
My strengths in spoken communication is being
courteous. I always like to respect a person’s opinion
on something as sometimes it can lead to a
suggestion or a possible future customer. Another
strength is I have a loud and clear voice. I always like
to explain something or talk to someone in a clear
voice and not in some sluggish or tired way, this tends
to avoid mistakes or miscommunications.

My weakness in spoken communication is sometimes

when I’m talking to someone I once in a while forget
