Group 3 SPC10173773

Nathaly Garcia We had all started the first week off in our SPC 1017 class with being divided into groups, within the group we had each been tasked to do research on a chapter the professor assigned. We each got put into our groups and I was placed with group 3.  At first I was a little nervous, since when it came down to project presentations, personally the project part is something rather easy to complete, I tend to feel it is more nerve-wrecking to present the project itself. It was only the first week of class and we had already been assigned with a project while people were withdrawing from class and others were being added into the class. Meaning there had been many switches and removals within each group and with group roles being rearranged. By the end when the student roster had been set, I was able to actually see who were the people I would be working with and we began to work all together as I got the chance to also meet new people. Now when it comes down to learning a...

Reflection Summary on Intercultural Communication, Group Communication, and Problem Solving Roberto Suarez       The speech presented in class focused on several important topics related to intercultural communication, communication in groups, leadership, and systematic problem solving. Overall, I found the presentation very educational because it explained how communication affects almost every aspect of life, including relationships, teamwork, education, and professional environments. The topics discussed during the presentation helped me better understand the importance of respecting cultural differences, improving communication skills, and learning how to collaborate effectively with others. I believe the speech was meaningful because it connected many concepts that people experience in everyday situations, especially in schools, workplaces, and social environments.   Culture and communication were one of the first concepts discussed during the presentation....

Hello everyone I’m Takiya Mckellar. I attend Miami Dade College and I will be talking about my experience and thoughts on the presentation. I can honestly say I enjoyed and learned something from this experience. Each group had different topics to talk about, even though some parts were stronger than others, I can see the effort and time everyone put in, including myself. The three group topics were intercultural communications, communicating in groups, and leadership and problem solving, all three connected well because they all focused on how people work with others. Overall, the presentations helped me understand not just the content, but also how important teamwork, preparation, and confidence are when speaking in front of others.  The first group presented on intercultural communication, and I found their topic to be very relevant in today’s diverse academic and professional environments. They explained how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate differently, in...

 I honestly believed that Chapter 10 would be another straightforward chapter about group projects and leadership prior to our presentation. Since people frequently work in groups without giving it much thought, it initially seemed like one of those topics that seems obvious. However, I discovered there is much more to communication, leadership, and problem solving than I had anticipated once we really began preparing the presentation and listened to everyone's contributions. The chapter seemed much more applicable and helpful since many of the ideas were related to real-life scenarios like school assignments, collaboration, meetings, and even future employment. The methodical approach to problem-solving was one of the things that most caught my attention. I had never given much thought to how groups work through challenges step-by-step before this lecture. The majority of people typically don't really understand the issue before attempting to find a quick solution. According t...

           I chose to take speech because I know it's a requirement for graduation, and in order for me to receive my degree, just like many of the other classes I have taken and plan to take. For example, there will always be some form of English, Math, History, but those subjects never scared me the way Speech does. Speaking out in front of a group of individuals whom I have never met before has always been a frightening thing. You start to fumble over words, stutter, become forgetful, and even in some cases, you may go blank. But the first presentation we had to do changed the way I viewed the entirety of this class.      Before getting into the actual presentations that everyone worked on and shared with the class, I feel like it is imperative to discuss how necessary this class is for the development of college students transitioning from being adolescents to mature adults. Even when it comes to the material that was prese...

Victoria Garcia – Group 3   Communication and Leadership Presentation Reflection     The presentations from Chapters 3, 9, and 10 were about intercultural communication, communicating in groups, and leadership and problem solving. At first, I honestly thought these topics were going to be kind of boring because communication sounds like something simple that we already do every day without thinking about it. But after watching and being part of the presentations, I realized there’s actually a lot more to communication than I expected. A lot of the ideas connected to real life situations, especially in school, group work, and even how people interact online, so it made everything feel more relevant.   The first presentation about intercultural communication was more interesting than I expected. It talked about how people from different cultures communicate in different ways , and how misunderstandings can happen even when nobody is trying to be rude. Before th...
