Communication Skills, ME 399a (broad contents)

We covered various aspects of communication skills including, group discussions, public speaking, planning and making presentations and technical writing. Almost equal number of lectures were devoted to each aspect. In group discussions, students chose concurrent topics; the class was often divided into two or more groups. Students learnt to pose their viewpoints in a patient, terse yet comprehensive manner. We worked on the art of listening. In each group discussion session, a (different) student volunteered to discharge the role of a moderator. We had impromptu public speaking sessions wherein students were given a few minutes to prepare for a topic given to them, and had five minutes each to express their ideas. We focused on how to work around nervousness. Thereafter, longer and planned presentation sessions were covered followed by technical writing. In addition to verbal and written modes, to make one's presence felt (in a positive manner) in say GD, public speaking and presentations, we noted that body language played a key role. Through various interactive sessions, students and I worked on such aspects. Through "text editing" sessions (I wrote stories on the board, each sentence of which was contributed by a student; their imagination played a key role), we worked on how verbosity could be minimized (by rephrasing sentences, replacing words, etc. all done live) and words suitably chosen so that a number of iterations on the first draft could yield a document that is well composed.
