Expectations
You made it through the first week of classes. Congratulations! What do you hope to take away from this class? What are your expectations? Do you have any concerns or fears? Share below and have a great weekend!
I expect that I will improve my english skill through this class I am glad too meet all good people in this class I hope to know people more... I concern about my english skill as well I hope will understand what my professor says.. :)
Looks like we're on the same boat Seojun Lee. I'm also in this class to become more proficient in the English language. I hope I will have enough courage to participate in group communication, exchange ideas, share information, solve problems and at the same time, have a lot of fun. One thing I'm concerned about is that I'm a little embarrassed to speak in front of people with my foreign accent.
I believe I will learn better communication with women. That picture you showed of how we communicate is completely true. Ibwould love to learn better ways. For everyone. This should be fun. Game on! :)
I hope to learn how to be more social and learn how to interact effectively With people. I expect many presentations to help improve communication skills. I have a fear of stuttering or being stuck in the middle of a presentation so i hope that it never happens but other than that i look forward to a great year.
I would love to learn how to communicate effectively with my employer and my instructors. I really have trouble communicating since English is my second language and I haven't mastered learning it 100 percent. I experience difficulty learning English as an adult and typing. ;-)
I hope to be better at communication and be better at expressing my thoughts and opinions. My expectations are exactly what we have been doing which is getting to meet each other and share our experiences. My fears of group speaking are slowly reducing now that I'm getting to know the class and my only concern is messing up during a speech. However, I'm glad to be part of this class and I hope to better know everyone!
i hope i can get better in my communication skill and meet more friends in this class.i expect this class will not be easy but i will try my best. i very scare to presenting but hopefully after i took this class i will get better.
I want to learn how to better compose and present myself in professional settings. I expect to come away from the class with a better understanding of presentations, as well as more confidence in doing them. I don't have any fears of the class other than the usual dislike of public speaking; hopefully the class with alleviate them before the presentations!
I believe that i will learn better communication skills, and that I will get better at public speaking. My only fear is when I get up to public speak I talk really fast and sometimes i begin to stutter. I am hoping that this class will help me get over that fear.
I hope to improve my communication with talking to a larger groups of people, and be able to present clearly, One of my fears is not being able to have a good enough answer for question or concern, I plan on improving my communication skills overall.
I hope to learn how to be more social. My expectations are to get comfortable with myself around people and come out of my shell. My fears are public speaking and standing up in front of people. I don't like to be put on the spot so, I'm not really looking forward to that! :O
I hope to be able to better my public speaking skills and to learn how to communicate with new people better and not be as fearful of meeting new people. I expect to be challenged in this class especially when doing single presentations.Like many other students, I too stutter while presenting and it makes me not want to present, if i can conquer that fear i feel that i will be successful in this class.
I expect to learn some new skills in different ways to communicate effectively. I expect to be doing presentations by myself and as a group. I have a fear of doing presentations because i don't do well in front of groups of people.
I hope to conquer my fear of speaking in front of people, and to become a better communicator in general. I am looking forward to the mock interviews, although I am very nervous about them! I have a fear of standing in front of a big group of people. I do not like speaking or presenting in front of anyone. I can memorize my speech backwards and forwards, but I tend to forget things when I am nervous.
Im hoping to improve my "business type" communication so that when i am applying for higher positions within my company that my application will be taken more seriously despite my age. Right now I train crew members but eventually I want to be able to train managers for stores and not ramble. My public speaking has improved alot thanks to group work so I dont have any fears (unless you want us to speak out in public. please no lol)
I hope to learn how to communicate better and to be more comfortable with public speaking and on the spot communication. i expect to improve these skills from taking this course by doing assignments that help with this
I hope to gain more knowledge on communication. I want to be able to automatically know how to talk to someone without thinking about it. I want to know how to communicate during certain situations and making sure I know exactly how to say it without being nervous or making a fool of myself. I can already tell I will learn a lot from this class and being able to be around people that are going in the same field as me is a plus.
I hope that I will learn more on how to communicate with others and myself. I feel that I can be a good speaker or presenter but I might struggle to get my point across sometimes. I am hoping to learn more on how to carry a conversation and be or sound intelligent enough to carry it all the way through. I don t feel like I have any fears on concerns to worry about. If I had to think of one then it would have to be just sounding intelligent and making sure I am getting my point across.
I hope to learn how to public speak without getting so nervous and also just to improve on my communication skills since my job considers interacting with people. I don't really have any concerns, I'm sure this class will be great.
My only fear is my social anxiety and become more comfortable with everybody i do not know. My expectations are to learn how to deal with communication. I already like the class so it will be a great semester. Angela Chavez
I hope that by taking this class I will be more confident in public speaking. I'm really excited to learn in depth all that communication entails. I naturally love to talk but when it comes to talking to a whole bunch of people i get distracted and i easily loose my train of thought. I'm hoping this will not only help me with presenting in school but talking in big settings in my personal life as well.
Hi! I'm Jordan,I hope this course helps me to develop and improve my ability to communicate accurately and similarly to how I think and feel so that it lessens the chances for misunderstandings. I expect to practice public speaking and fine-tune how our communication is interpreted by others and expressed by us. I'm nervous that I won't be able to improve my skills enough to do well on assignments, but I'm going to try my best.
What I hope to take away from this class is to speak properly; to stop say um or like a lot in a conversation and to feel confident when communicating in business or casual setting. My expectations for this class is to improve my communication skills. Some of my concerns or fears is speaking in front of an audience; it is very nerve wrecking and when I get nervous sometimes my speech shows it. Hopefully with this class there will be no more.
Starting with my concerns and fears, I feel as though both my fear of public speaking and my lack of confidence with communication fit well in both categories. With that being said, I expect and am excited to (hopefully) take away confidence in both areas at the end of this semester.
I am eager to expand my skills in communication this semester. Progressing in this certain course is a huge goal of mine due to how crucial communication is in the world. Learning how to read facial expressions and tones of voice are two areas I am hopeful to master. My expectations consist of having conversations in order to better our fluency and expose our confidence in any form of communication.My only concern is not adapting to the class because I have only stuck to the same four subjects throughout high school.Other than that, I am excited for this semester!
I hope to become less anti-social. I have a history of coming off as a terrible person and I believe by learning more about how people interact with one another that I too can be normal. And hopefully it should further my negotiating/bargaining skills too, as my dream job requires a lot of this if you want to get anywhere.
What I hope to take away from this class is being able to perform better while presenting in front of an audience. My expectations are to learn how to communicate better while presenting. My only fears are stuttering and talking in a boring tone in front of people.
I hope to become more outspoken rather than just keeping things to myself. I need to stop being less anti social and less shy. My expectations by the end of the semester are that I will no longer be afraid to speak my mind and become more professional with my communication skills. The only thing I am afraid of is not passing this class.
I hope to enhance and better my overall communication skills. Also, I hope to add a better sense of professionalism in my speech and vocabulary, whether that may be in a simple in person conversation, or a email to you or any other of my professors. I know I'll gain confidence in my communication skills and I look forward to progressing towards that goal with the rest of the class.
I hope to learn how to communicate more efficiently and to become more comfortable with expressing myself. I hope to be able to understand communication better and to understand how others communicate. I hope to understand how people communicate beyond word such as body language, the words they use, and the way use combinations to express themselves. No I don't really have any fears or concerns.
I hope to become better at public speaking and to have great communication skills that will make me stand out during important times. I expect this course to push me out of my comfort zone and to make me more confident when presenting myself to new people or oppurtunties. I do not have any concerns so far, im just eager to learn everything this course has to offer.
My hope is to become comfortable with public speaking. Public speaking gives me anxiety even in a diad setting. My expectation is to understand the process of communication so I can express myself clearly and non-argumentatively. My fear for this course is presenting in front of the class and am concerned my voice will crack and my face will turn red. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible and overcoming my fear of public speaking.
I hope to become better as a speaker. Not only public speaking, but all around better at communicating. I expect to get over my fear of speaking in front of a audience. I have never really had an issue speaking directly to people, but when it comes to talking in front of crowds or audiences. I have never been able to get my point across or communicate effectively due to nervousness. My fears would just have to be public speaking.
I hope to come out of this class with better communication skills and a more comprehensive understanding of the function and role of communication in our society. I expect to learn how to express myself better and to learn to recognize the different forms of communication people use every day. My only fear in relation to this class, is how nervous I get when speaking in front of a large group of people.
I hope to become a better speaker and to be able to communicate with other. I want to become less stage fright when talking in front of people i don't know. I am looking forward to learning everything i can from this class and to apply it in the real world.
I plan on assuming the communication skills i need to do well in life by the end of this class. So far, i have been happy with the class and the people in it. This semester I plan on focusing intently on my schoolwork in order to advance to my full potential later down my timeline. So far College is Great.
What do you hope to take away from this class? What are your expectations? Do you have any concerns or fears? Share below and have a great weekend!
I plan on becoming a better communicator with others and being more talkative with others. I tend to get really nervous when the teacher calls on me when i'm not raising my hand, i quite often freeze up and don't know what to say or i'll forget what the teacher had asked. That's one of the reasons i want to work on my communicating skills so i won't have these problems in the near future.
