1. What is effective communication to you and how it applies/how will it apply to you in your chosen course/career? In my own perception, effective communication is a way of exchanging and receiving information, may it be own ideas, thoughts, experience and general knowledge, with individual/s efficiently and effectively that enables the parties involved to come to an end of understanding, agreement, intended message conveyed clearly and acquire something. Effective communication applies to me by my way of learning, understanding the information conveyed to me which helps me widen my knowledge about different things, in situation when asking questions, and in ways where I was able to express my thoughts and receive feedbacks form the listener. It will apply to my future career by way of communicating data in the financial statement in the future to help external users in making sound decisions, expressing ideas in matters that I am knowledgeable with, connecting with co-workers to develop a productive workplace and the ways that will help me improve my skills in communicating verbally or in writing.
