Com 200 Discussion Question 5

An important theme throughout this course has been communication competence, which is the ability to choose a communication behavior that is both effective and appropriate for a given situation. Take some time to reflect on your improved communication skills by taking the How Good Are Your Communication Skills? Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading Effectively quiz. Then, using our text, identify some key competencies on which you think you have improved or identify some areas for further improvement. How do you think these skills will enhance your relationships?
