To start things off I actually somehow never saw this assignment was up on blackboard and was more then surprised to see that the due date was May 6. Well this could of been a lack of communication on my part but so be it.
Anyways, I find that effective communication is a strong role in helping promote better relationships regardless if it's in the business field or wherever. As the experiment in class showed without a good communication between the class we werent really able to get the task done, and we also have to keep in mind there will always be certain complication with the message between the Source and the Receivers.
I found that the blogging assignment was something new that I have never done in any other class and actually only realized the effectiveness of it mid-way into the class. It really does help by giving us a way to see how our peers have responded to certain experiments or certain topics, then as the original posters we get feedback from our classmates which in turn also helps us by giving us a deeper insight on how others think and how we might take their ideas into considerations. It also doesn't hurt that a task like this gives the students a self manageable task that makes up 20% of our grade. My final thoughts is this type of compenent in this course is very effective, as for continuing posting in the future I probably would if I have time but most likely it will start to get derailed and become unrelated to management.

I too didn't know this assignment was up on blackboard with all the problems the site has been going through so don't feel alone lol. I agree that communications is key in promoting effective relationships between the source and receiver. We see examples of this everyday in life and not just in class.
ReplyDeleteAlso, blogging does not always have to relate to management, it can be about anything you want it to be. And don't worry if you get derailed with blogging because each person blogs differently. Some update their page everyday while others do so monthly or even yearly. There are no set rules and it only serves as a collection of your thoughts!
Well your not the only one who didn't see this assignment so it's not your fault. It's most likely because blackboard is always down! Well for the blogging I too found it a very interesting part of the class to see what's on the minds of our peers.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I did realize that while the due dates were given for each individual assignment, the overall due date was much later- allowing me to postpone it until the last minute. I completely agree that being able to get other's perspectives on topics was a great experience but it personally didn't interest me all that much. I obviously didn't read how much of these blogs influenced our overall grade or else maybe I would have been like you and completed the assignments on time!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Communication is essential in every aspect of life, not only for an assignment in class. Any time of the day, communication is taken place whether it is between your peers, friends, coworkers or a stranger on the subway. It is happening constantly that it is very important that you communicate effectively to get your points through to another. Like demonstrated in class, under certain circumstances, without communication, the task will not be completed. Therefore it is essential in every aspect of life itself. I totally agree with you!
