Document Summary

Things like formatting, body language and placement (gives context) Communication vs. metacommunication (can change what communication actually says) Week three seminar: two minute presentation on one of the readings. Oral presentation skills (this and the above are outbound skills what we tell others) Communication: the ability to exchange opinions and ideas with others through speech, gestures. A lot of communication is about perception what i perceive you are saying and how i respond. Meta communication in oral presentations: kinesics (body lang), proxemics (space relationships between communicators), paralinguistic (things added to voice tone, pitch, etc. ) *ways we communicate without words important parts of presentations. Assignment 6-7 minutes supplemented by a handout. Deal with your anxiety (people get too focused on your anxious behaviour) Power point overkill we put too much emphasis on technology. Launching right in you need to build towards your topic, introduce it. Getting lost in detail use a framework, compare/contrast.
