Last day of class everything went well. Every group’s project and everyone's speech are well done. I think my speech has little bit more work to do. I believe I could done better, somehow the f*** controls everything when I was stood in front of class. I hope in future with a lot of practices I could become better and the fear will go away.
However, in our group project I learned a lots of stuffs and too much to talk about. All I wanted to share what I learned from group. For me the most important lesson that I learned. It’s that when you form a group with others, which mean you had committed to other members. You were likely needs to sharing Ideas, time, and helping others.
Through all classes we had. I learn to have a great communication skill is very important. It has huge impact in our life. Like workplace, family and hang out with friends. With great communication skill you were able to proactive. Stay away from a lots of trouble. Last but not least. I made friendship with my group members; I hope it will last for a long time till they used Steve Duck’s filtering theory to filter me out. I'm glad Tenille talks about me in her article, I liked to say Thank you. I'd appreciate. I'm also like to thanks Natasha, Johanna and billo. Thank for all the helps. Thanks Profs. Santo prepared for the class and his ideas.

Final Day of Class
I am so happy for this entire semester that I had better communication skill. This 6 weeks session was gone so fast that from what I am expected. Our professor had a good experience in communication skill cause even he talked for couple hours in front of the class I never feel boring and sleepy. I learned a lot of the relationship and communication is really the key for a good relation. I was so nervous at the beginning cause the self-disclosure that we need to stand in front of our classmate and talked about myself. To be honest my hand was shaking very badly when I talk about the self-disclosure.
Secondly, I want to talked about my experience when we working in the group project. We had been compromise with each other and we accept all opinion from our group member. Before the end of the project we finally need to make the decision to cut off some opinion and photo but it is so fortunate that our group member was so nice and every time we point out the error they do accept that was not a good idea or material to put into the video. Finally, I want to talked about my own presentation for our final speech that I am more confidence to look at my classmate and speak out in front of all my classmate. Every time I was so nervous especially I cannot communicate with excellent English, but I try to give myself confident and I remind myself that my English is not the worse in the class. Therefore, I speak out and finally I made it.

Today was our last day of class. I have learned so much. I shared with each of my classmates, be a better listener and have more confidence when I have to express something. Despite my participation in class was very little, I enjoyed the communication class a lot. This class is very different from other classes because it has a lot talking. Listening and sharing ideas was great.
When I first started class, I was so scared that I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle it and even worse when it comes to speak in public. Even thought I prepared, my hands were sweating and my tone of voice was very different. I tried to do the best I could to improve my second speech but I could not make it. The fear and insecurity made me lost potential when I speak. I did try to apply all the tips professor gave us but my speech is still weak. However, I don’t feel bad instead I feel proud of myself and I know that at some point I would do better. There is no way to say that is impossible to accomplish what you want unless you don’t want. It’s hard and difficult to speak in public but only takes time and lot practice. Keeping in mind all I’ve heard from my professor and classmates, I’ll try to improve myself doing a better communication. Communication is learned.
Also, I would like to thank the professor for being patient and friendly. Even though we made a lot mistakes in class, he never says is wrong. Instead he said that this would be better if we have done this way. He was there to help us. He has taught me that we learn from our mistakes and each day you can do it right.
What I liked the most of the class was that it was a very dynamic and entrained class. Besides, the group projects were awesome. Each group did the best and try to get to point that was asked. I enjoyed listenning the professor’s anecdotes and experience he has as he went to accomplish his dreams.

Last Day of class
This class has been on of the best classes i have ever taken. It made me come out of my comfort zone and give two speeches. I noticed the difference from the first speech to my last speech i was more confident less nervous and felt less anxious. I'm not saying that i want to continue to do this and if had the choice i wouldn't, but if i was placed in the same situation again i would feel less confident and more capable.
The persuasive speeches where great i really did learn some new facts and found some new places i would love to visit. I also had a great time watching every bodies group projects they where really funny and it showed that they really put their heart into it. I'm even surprised by the out come of our group project with all the complications it faced i still think we pulled through and made it work. Thank you professor Trapani you really make a difference

Final Day
Before this class, I have made a lot of presentations. Those presentations are focused on the information about the major. I never notice that there are so many knowledge in the couple of minutes for presentation. I also learn many methods to make my speech or presentation become much more persuasive in this class. I love this professor because his assignments are good enough to make us use the knowledge we learn from the class and are not like some professors give us bunch of assignments and quizzes to force us to fill the things in our mind. Professor Santo makes me love study how to make a good speech. Also, when I am doing his assignment, I am always full fill with energy. What’s more, we share many different stories from the students. Some of them have got into the society and are working. Some of them are international student and just depend on themselves to solve the daily expense problem. Some of them have miserable and unforgettable experience with their family. Their stories stimulate me have more energy to make my dream come true. At the end of today, I hear so many persuasive speeches which are exciting and creative. And I have seen many beautiful places that I really want to go. It is a happy ending day. I am so happy to recognize so many interesting classmates. Thanks for professor Santo. Thanks for my good members.
LAST DAY
Today was the last class; it was very interesting. My classmates and I gave our speeches. I liked this experience because I learned a lot of things from the perspectives of my classmates, and I shared my own knowledge with them as well. We also, finally, presented our grupal projects. It was fun! All the groups made very nice, creative videos; I enjoyed them all and learned something from each.
I can't believe how fast these six weeks have past. It's as if the first class was last week. However, although the time has gone very fast, this class has been very, very insightful. I have learned in a few weeks many things I wasn't aware of during too much time. The Professor Trapani has been a great instructor and has taught us the steps to communicate better in our daily lives. I just have to put all this knowledge into practice, practice, and more practice (because there are some behavioral patterns that don't change from one day to another) to communicate effectively. But, as the professor said, most people are not trained in communication, so we, as their lucky students who have learned a lot in this class, have to take advantage of this great opportunity we have had, stop feeling fear (I would love to get rid of fear), and communicate effectively; that's what I'll do. I want (and, eventually, I will) be consciously aware of everything I do so that i can improve my non-verval communication and deliver better speeches. This has been definitely an exciting class; it has helped me a lot.
Thank you.
Last day of class (8/04/10)
Today is going to be the most memorable date of my life. I feel sad and I miss this class. I could not describe my feeling right now. I wish this class could be much longer to allow me learn more but happiness won't last so long. I will never forget about today because it is the date that I really improved my communication skill. I realize that this class finished seems to be fast. Remember the first day I came to the class, I was so nervous that I have to speak all the time because I am an introverted person. However, professor Trapani encouraged us to speak even though we have a strong accent. He said do not let your fear control yourself. I think it is true. Until today, I proved that I could get rid of my fear when I presented in front of everybody.
After I took this class, I feel like I really want to take a higher level on public speaking classes. As a business person, communication skill is so important because it is the requirement for every single business field. Therefore, I will not let my fear take over it. I believe if I keep on practicing, I will be able to master my speech.

LAST DAY
Wow... I don't even know where to start! This was definitely a memorable class for me. I faced one of my biggest fears 2 times which is speaking in front of a classroom. The first speech I was a nervous wreck. The second speech I wont say that I was comfortable but I was less nervous compared to the first time. Today when I told the class the topic of my speech, everybody start laughing. It got to a point where I started to laugh too! But I'm proud that I was able to get myself back together and be serious when I was presenting my speech. As a was giving my speech I physically felt myself shaking. I was hoping that it wasn't noticeable but if so I wasn't going to allow it to distract me to the point where I have to stop or just give up.
Working on this group project the last week was hectic. At one point I felt like giving up because it seem as if things wasn't going to go through. I had so much faith in this project but the week before when Fannie left, I knew we was domed! We all panicked about the video because Fannie was the one in charged of it. No one in the group knew nothing about making a video nor knew someone who was knowledge that had the time to help. If we have had faith in ourselves from the beginning the last week and a half would of been smooth sailing. It took one day before for my group to toughing up and say "we can do it" this group not having a video is not a option. I started to work on the video from my house and Yang worked on it from his house. This was beyond stressful because my plans for that day was to just practice my project and individual speech but instead Natasha and I spent over 6 hours working and correcting the project and the video. Yang also had that same drive he put in a lot of hours and worked very hard on the video as well, I really appreciate him! Over all the project came out to be decent and much better then what I expected it to be. Johanna gave great ideas, Natasha organized the project very well, Yang worked very hard and put a lot of effort and Blo enjoyed having the title of being captain!

Changes
Should an introvert change? Prof.Trapani used to say:"What you are does not change, but what you know changes".
What I have learned from this class is not how to change from being introvert to become extrovert, but how to eliminate the fear so I can act and behave normally like other people do. Through learning communication I now how to be a good listener, to be reactive instead of reactive, to work in a group, and after all to communicate effectively.
Of course it is impossible to be a good communicator within six weeks. But this short term class changes what I know.
Thank you Prof.
