Over the course of the semester, I have learned so many new concepts about communication and human relationships in regards to interpersonal communication. I have learned more than just the basics of interpersonal communication which was great because during this semester I was also taking an interpersonal communication. So it was nice to be able to relate back and forth between both of the courses and compare and contrast and see what was similar about interpersonal communication. I learned about communication and personal identity and what the self is. I learned and perception and communication and how perception is influenced. I discovered the difference between verbal and nonverbal communication, and the different types of each. I especially enjoyed the chapter on mindful listening because in this chapter, forms of nonlistening were discussed as well as guidelines for effective listening which was a great resource and tool for me to be aware of since I have been working on my listening skills for most of my life. I like to listen however, have had a hard time at times of taking place in selective listening, and that is something I would like and have improved on since taking this course. I have also learned in depth about emotions and communication which was also a helpful tool because there are many times I out someone else's emotions before mine because I pay attention to how someone may feel or what their emotions are, and from this chapter I was able to gain being in tune with my own emotions. I have also learned about managing conflict in relationships, as well as friendships in our lives, committed romantic relationships, and communication in families which all helped me to be able to improve my relationships within my family and friendships.
Overall, all the concepts from this class I have learned throughout the semester, I will and have applied to my daily life and will continue to.
