GEN 201 Wk 3 Discussion - Communication 

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students. 

Due Thursday 

In the past 2 weeks, you explored strategies for overcoming challenges, considered how to use grit and growth mindset, looked at efficient time management, and set some goals. This week focuses on communication.  

Communication skills are critical in college and in the workplace. Communication is essential to the online learning experience, but communicating in an online format can present challenges in classroom discussions and in written assignments. 

Take a few moments to think about how communication in the classroom differs from casual communication with friends and family. Also consider how communication online differs from face-to-face communication. 

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Share one or two examples of challenges you have encountered communicating in the online environment. What do you think caused those challenges?

What resources available to you as a student at the University would be most useful to help improve your academic communication?

Finally, share which activities or resources this week were most meaningful to you. What resources or information did you not find this week that you think could help you communicate more effectively?

Due Monday 

Reply to at least 2 of your classmates. Be constructive and professional in your responses.
