In a two to three page (guideline only) document, answer the following five questions. Provide enough examples and specific details (e.g., kinds of communication, audiences addressed, purpose of the message) to give me a clear picture of you as a communicator. To the extent that you have had experience in a professional setting (e.g., a club, a job, an internship, volunteer work), focus on those experiences. In evaluating your strengths and weaknesses, consider feedback from others (professors, employers, club advisors, fellow students) as well as your own opinion of your proficiency.
Finally, in setting goals for yourself, state what writing, speaking, and interpersonal communication skills you specifically want to improve. The more specific you can be, the better your chance of reaching your objectives.
Answer these five questions:
1. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a writer? What part(s) of the writing process do you find easy? What part(s) do you find difficult?
2. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a speaker? What part(s) of creating and giving presentations do you find easy? What part(s) do you find difficult?
3. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a member of a team or a group? What part(s) of teamwork do you find easy? What part(s) do you find difficult?
4. What are your three or four specific goals for improving your communication in MGT 355 this semester?
5. How do you intend to reach those goals? How can your instructor best help you meet your goals?
