Summary

Upon completion of Module 2 (Week 2), you should have:

• presented a short introduction of yourself to your HSC4813 classmates and instructor.
• gained familiarity with your classmates.
• participated in three reflection polls.
• submitted your Meet Your UTA assignment.
• made at least one attempt at the "Who Is This?" matching game.

Takeaways 

• Articulating your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively is a skill that will become increasingly important as you enter the work force or a graduate or professional school program. Being comfortable and confident talking about yourself and speaking in front of a group is an important part of your professional development.
• Good listening skills are a critical piece to effective communication. Good listening skills are particularly important for undergraduate teaching assistants and individuals employed in healthcare settings.

Next Week

Next week, you will be working online. As a UTA, you may be in a position to provide feedback on a draft of a individual/group assignment, to a group during a group discussion, during a review session, or other similar situations. Module 3 will provide you with some tips on providing feedback and give you a chance to practice giving written feedback as part of a peer review assignment.
