Study Notes

Elements of Communication

Key Elements: 8 elements of communication include Sender, Receiver, Message, Symbols, Channel, Noise, Feedback, and Context.
Sender: The initiator of the message who starts the communication process.
Receiver: The listener who interprets the message and provides feedback that may lead to message clarification.
Message: Represents ideas or thoughts transmitted from sender to receiver; affected by cultural similarity and prior knowledge.
Noise: Any barrier or hindrance to communication that can distort the message during transmission.

Communication Process

Encoding: The sender converts thoughts into signals/words.
Transmission: The channel (e.g., air) is used to send signals from sender to receiver.
Decoding: The receiver interprets the signals into thoughts and provides feedback, potentially becoming the new sender.

Contexts of Noise

Physical Noise: External environmental factors that disrupt communication.
Physiological Noise: Biological factors affecting communication (e.g., hearing impairments).
Psychological Noise: Mental barriers or biases that hinder understanding.

Models of Communication

DIY Models: Students create models of communication, detailing their design, naming, and unique features.
Importance of Creation: Emphasis on the value of creating new models as the highest form of learning.

Homework and Practical Activities

Scene Analysis: Select a film/series scene and identify elements of communication present.
Skit Creation: Groups create a 2-3 minute performance showcasing all eight elements in a context assigned by faction tasks.

Final Reflections

Guest Interviews: Reflect on core memories and significant experiences in the Communi-Hotel.
Individual Growth: Acknowledge personal development through the learning journey and experiences in communication.
