Assignment feedback

Thank you Samantha,

Good, posted a response. However it did not address all questions or the rationale was not clear. Review the lectures, text and instructor’s posts for insight. Contact us for clarity if needed. Two Parts for this discussion post. An overview of your Strategic Communications Plan. This was a draft and time for a critique from your peers of a communication and if it succeeded in completing your intended goal. Take the feedback and reflect. Review chapters 2 and 4 in the Speak with Confidence text. See the template and rubric for assignment 1. You have the foundation to complete the assignment successfully. Ensure that you include substantive and cohesive information as you move to the next part. • The purpose of the communication • Your goal • Audience • Key Message • Supporting Points • Channel Selection • Action Request Utilize the peer feedback. For this class, they are your simulated audience in the discussion forum. Feedback is essential to growth; even when we don’t agree. Take it from the perspective given. See if from that person’s view and take it as information. A good thing to remember is to not read emotion into the constructive feedback. Professional communication tries stay on track with handling the business portion of the communication, even in emotional times. If you are the leader, you still have to convey the message. Don’t be afraid to challenge assumptions, suggest new possibilities, and affirm choices when those choices are good. Always be professional, respectful and work with integrity in your actions. Note: Remember, feedback is a powerful and essential tool. Thoughtful, useful feedback is specific. It combines suggestions for improvement with the recognition of good ideas. When you offer feedback, you should contribute new ideas and new perspectives to help your peers learn and move forward.

You did not post a substantive peer response this week. Try to engage with your class members to maximize potential points and network. This is Business Communications; a great forum to utilize the tools of the course.

Good, but you need to work on a few items. Continuous practice and consistency makes us better. If you need a refresher, see the Virtual Writing Center for tools and resources. Also, Franklin Covey is another resource for Professional Writing.

Thanks for a timely post by the due date. If you choose, post earlier in the week. This will allow your peers to view and comment on your work.

Good job on posting to at least one of your peers. This helps to get to know your classmates, network and communicate effectively.
