Last Day

In this class I feel like I learned so much. Prior to this class I didn't think much of the way I communicated, or the way people communicated with me. As the class progressed I learned to analyze and figure out why certain people communicate differently. Why some people get along, and why some don't. I realized the importance of self disclosure in order to build a strong relationship. I've always met a lot of people, and wondered why sometimes it was just a hi and bye thing. However I realized that with my close friends, a great deal of self disclosure which is why I was so close with them. I see the importance of communication now, the importance of listening and expressing my opinions. I feel that communication can be learned, and in fact this course made me want to learn more about it. I find it very interesting and little by little it helps me lose my fear of communicating with others, and public speaking.

I don't think much needs to be changed or improved in the class. This worked great for me. I had taken HUC 101 before but I dropped it due to lack of interest, and just reading of power points. I find Prof. Trapani's practical approach and his exampled to be a very effective way of learning. His humorous examples are so easy to relate to, and the way he showed the weight we carry will never be forgotten. The learning truly is memorable and fun which stimulates students into wanting to learn more. This class went above my expectations, I definitely think it's on the top 5 most important course I've taken in my time in LaGuardia.
