Poor Communication and the Aftermath

My most recent mishap when information was poorly communicated in the work place occurred just before I left for spring break. I had a last minute rearrangement of my test schedule which was hectic enough. The new schedule had me taking a test right in the middle of one of the classes I was to be teaching the next night. I called my employer to let her know that I would not be able to teach my class that night, but instead of speaking to my boss, I spoke with one of the students. I gave her the message and told her to pass it on to my boss. Apparently after many frantic phone calls about my whereabouts the next day, I realized my boss never got the message. The consequences were not great for me since the lack of communication fell on many parties. To fix the problem in the future, a message book could be established at the desk or only certain people could be allowed to answer the phone.

Portfolios and Presentations

My favorite presentation of this week would be the presentation on Graphics Communication major here at Clemson University. My roommate is also a GC major so it was very interesting to see and understand the things he is currently experiencing. I liked the props she brought in to the class to put a picture and a finished product with the words on the slides.
Unfortunately, I have never completed an online portfolio. I am looking forward to finishing the project, but my only concerns are lack of prior knowledge with these portfolios and lack of time in my schedule.

Class Presentations

Listening to the different array of topics covered by the class presentation's were entertaining and very informing. My three favorite were the presentation on college mascots, the Locks of Love presentation, and the presentation on Celtic's player, Rajon Rondo. These PowerPoints were very relative to my life currently as a college student. I also enjoyed how these were presented to the class in a fun, yet informing manner. I learned many tid bits of information from these presentations to take with me throughout my college career. Good job guys!
