Part 1: Effective Communication

In your academic and professional life, you will make important decisions when

communicating with others. Think about the types of decisions you will need to make

when communicating both academically and professionally.

Consider the following scenario:

Your class requires you to use a program you must download on your computer. You

have waited until Saturday to download the program, and you need it for an

assignment that is due on Monday. Now you are having issues with the program.

Write a 50-to 75-word response to each of the following questions. Enter your response

on a new line below the questions.

• How would you approach solving the problem in this scenario?

• Whom would you contact first, and why?

• What are the resources available to support you when obstacles arise?

• Why is effective communication important in linking you to these resources?
