Week 16: Final Facilitation & Course Synthesis
Course Reflection Portfolio
Instructions
This final practice activity invites you to reflect on your entire learning journey. Take time to thoughtfully consider your growth and commit to continued development.
1Practice Prompt
Identify your biggest area of personal growth in interpersonal communication this semester. What specific knowledge, skill, or awareness have you developed? Provide concrete examples of how this growth has shown up in your actual communication.
Be specific. 'I'm a better listener' is vague. 'I now pause before responding and ask clarifying questions, which helped me resolve a conflict with my roommate' is specific.
2Practice Prompt
Compare your communication competence now to Week 1, when you rated yourself on knowledge, skill, and motivation. How has each dimension changed? What evidence supports this assessment?
Think about both successes and areas where you still want to grow.
3Practice Prompt
Select one interpersonal communication skill or concept you want to continue developing after this course. Why this one? What specific steps will you take to keep growing in this area?
Be realistic and specific about your continued development plan.
4Practice Prompt
Write a commitment statement to yourself about your future communication practice. Start with 'I commit to...' and include specific behaviors or mindsets you will maintain. This is a promise to yourself.
Make it meaningful and personal. This is for you, not for a grade.
