Summary

Upon completion of Module 3 (Week 3), you should have:

presented a short introduction about yourself to your HSC4813 classmates and instructor.
gained familiarity with your classmates.
participated in three reflection polls. (This only applies to students who were able to present during our week 3 class.)

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 critical to effective communication. Good listening skills are particularly important for undergraduate teaching assistants and individuals employed in healthcare settings.

Next Week

Module 4 (Week 4) will be conducted face-to-face. Anyone who was not able to give their presentation during week 3 due to time constraints will present during our week 4 class. You also will work in teams to conduct peer reviews of your classmates' "Meet Your UTA" information handout. This will give you a chance to apply what you learned from reading "Giving Feedback" and watching the "Characteristics of Good Student Feedback" video included in Module 2.

In addition to class time, you will be introduced to ten of the many research-based principles of learning as part of a short reading and related assignments. There is a good chance that you will relate to some or all of these principles because you may have personally adopted learning strategies that follow these principles.
