1 Homework stifles the thrill of learning in the mind of the student. 2 It instills an oppressive learn-or-else discipline. 3 It quenches the desire for knowledge and the love of truth. For these reasons 4 homework should never be assigned. (Colman McCarthy, “Homework’s Tyranny Hobbles Promising Minds”)
1. Identify 3 potential barriers to effective communication you have noted in your journal
Discuss how communication skills can be used to overcome each of these barriers.
2. Seek feedback from someone you interact with regularly concerning the barriers and communication skills you have identified above, in terms of your own communication style.
Write about the feedback you received and how you can use this to enhance your own communication skills relevant to your area of study or future profession.
