Welcome to Week 2! This week, we continue to build strategies and ways of thinking than can contribute to helping you achieve your goals.

GEN 201 Wk 3 Discussion – Communication

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

In the past 2 weeks, you explored strategies for overcoming challenges, considered how to use grit and growth mindset, looked at efficient time management, and set some goals. This week focuses on communication.

Communication skills are critical in college and in the workplace. Communication is essential to the online learning experience, but communicating in an online format can present challenges in classroom discussions and in written assignments.

Take a few moments to think about how communication in the classroom differs from casual communication with friends and family. Also consider how communication online differs from face-to-face communication.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Share one or two examples of challenges you have encountered communicating in the online environment. What do you think caused those challenges?

What resources available to you as a student at the University would be most useful to help improve your academic communication?

Due Thursday

In Week 3, we addressed the importance of effective communication. This week, we expand that discussion to talk about information literacy. Information literacy means knowing how to find, evaluate, and use information appropriate to your purpose. Not all information is reliable, and part of communicating effectively is being able to identify and use trustworthy information.

Consider all the different places you get information – social media outlets, online news publications, discussions with friends, magazines, text books, television, etc.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Why do you think time is spent in this class learning about information literacy? Provide one or two examples of when and why information literacy would be valuable, in either an academic or professional situation.

What are some ways that you can determine if information is reliable or trustworthy?

Which of this week’s activities was most helpful to you in understanding information literacy? What other resources do you need to help you become more skilled in information literacy?
