Study Notes

Communication that uses spoken or written words is called verbal communication.
Effective communication occurs when the receiver understands the message, not just when it is sent or received.

Communication involves a transaction, sharing ideas between individuals or groups.
It is defined as the transfer of messages, not a confusion of ideas.

Supporting claims with facts, figures, and examples strengthens communication.
Positive remarks and showing interest enhance conversational quality.
Avoid using technical jargon to impress; clarity is key.

The receiver is the crucial element that distinguishes linear communication from interactive and transactional models.
For effective communication, the receiver must perceive the message accurately.

When asked about the taste of something, an appropriate response includes confirmation; for example, "Yes, these apples are sweet," effectively communicates understanding and invites interaction.
