NACE SKILL COURSE REFLECTION: Writing Communication Business and media.This class has enhanced my writing skills by learning how to communicate with viewers of all different ages. I have also learned about the different forms of writing.

Group working World Civ This class has helped me develop strong group working skills. With our recent group projects I have improved on getting members to speak what they think and share their opinion. Verbal communication.

Small group communications This class focuses on improving how to properly communicate to other individuals. I have learned that body posture is the gateway to good communication

Skill 1: Leadership	Course: Human Bio	In my human biology class i have learned the leadership skill through our study sessions. We were organized in groups to play jeopardy and each group needed someone to pick the question and state their groups answer. I was that person and before we released the answer i had to make sure that our group was sure on our answer. I also show leadership when we do our in class assignments. In our in class assignments i lead the discussion and was making sure our answers were valid. In my opinion that shows leadership.
Skill 2: Oral/ written communication	Course: English 95/100	In english our teacher made us do research on how sources are cited, then present in class. Me and my group had to talk about our research to the class. I talked about how sources are not correctly cited most of the time. Also, i talked to the class and told them what websites are secure and how you can tell if a website is secure. This displays oral communication, because i talked and explained my through process to the class.
Skill 3:Teamwork	Course: First year seminar	We had to come up with ideas for a community project. Me and my group discussed different ideas. When we finished listing all our ideas we decided to come to a final decision. We had to base our final decision on students availability, cost, and interest. Our group made sure everyone had a say in the thought process, and if we ran into a problem we reconstructed our idea. This would have showed my skill of teamwork. Everyone worked together and pitched great ideas.

Purpose: By completing this assignment, you will be able to….

•         Identify High Impact Experiences offered by the university that align with your interests

o   High Impact Experiences have a profound influence on your development as a person and a professional, and are vital to advancing your education and your career.

o   This kind of foresight and planning will make you more likely to engage in these activities and will help you to develop better organizational and planning skills that will help you in your career. Not only will you become more aware of various opportunities outside the classroom to further develop a strong skill-set, but doing so will make you better prepared for future tasks within and outside your coursework; better preparation that should result in better performance.
