Part 3 COMM 305 Rules & Guidelines for Nonverbal Communication in the Workplace
In this third part of the ePorfolio project, we were instructed to write rules and guidelines for nonverbal communication in the workplace. We do not always have to be verbal when we want to send a message to our coworkers. Using body language such as our facial expressions, eye contact, and tone of voice can communicate what we are trying to say them. It is sometimes much preferred to use if you want to avoid confusion and misinterpretation. To view these rules and guidelines, click on the image to the left.
Part 2 COMM 305 Annotated Bibliography
In this second part of the ePorfolio project, we were provided two resources that we had to read so that we can complete an APA annotated bibliography. Once we finished reading both sources, we had to summarize, synthesize/evaluate, and reflect each one in 2-3 pages. After doing this assignment, I learned how to cite my sources in APA format and how to summarize them using the highlighted main points of the source. This is be very important to me when I have to do research papers in APA format. I have always been use to MLA format, but now that I know how to do APA, it will not be a big issue when I to do this in an assignment.
