This unit will also explore communication styles and how they influence professional communication.I Already Know How to Communicate  One question students often ask is, \u201cWhy should I take a professional communication course? I already know how to communicate!\u201d Learning the \u201chard skills\u201d of a profession such as safety protocols, inserting an IV, counseling patients, or detecting cybersecurity threats is often a student\u2019s priority. However, Foster et al. (2019) note that it is the \u201csoft skills\u201d that students should consider as important because they help you get hired, keep, and advance in your job.<br \/>\n  COM 2301, Professional Communication 4UNIT x STUDY GUIDE TitleFundamentals of Communication: The Communication ProcessMost often, the communication process is thought to be in one straight line from sender to message to receiver. However, the process is more complicated and includes more elements. A true representation of the process would look more like this.The communication process is a continuous cycle. This cycle contains seven major elements.1. Sender 2. Message 3. Channel  4. Receiver 5. Setting 6. Feedback 7. NoiseSenders and receivers are the people communicating. Message is the content being sent. Channel is how the message is being sent: face-to-face, text, email, Twitter, or Facebook post, for example. Setting is the context of and where the communication takes place. Feedback is the reactions to the message. Noise is what prevents the receiver of the message from receiving the message as the sender intended.  Noise can be external such as a room that is too hot or cold, a ringing cell phone, or even an unpleasant odor. Internal noise can be described as self-talk and is often caused by these communication concepts:\u2022 Perception  \u2022 Self-Concept  \u2022 Language  \u2022 Nonverbal Communication  \u2022 ListeningDiscover how these communication concepts become noisemakers by viewing the following Unit I Noisemakers PowerPoint Presentation. You may also access this presentation in printable form in the PDF.<br \/>\n  COM 2301, Professional Communication 5UNIT x STUDY GUIDE TitleFundamentals of Communication: Barriers  Not only do we have to overcome external and internal noise as well as noisemakers to communicate effectively, but we also must break down barriers to communication.\u2022 Physical and Organizational  \u2022 Emotional and Nonverbal \u2022 Cultural and Language \u2022 WrittenTo learn more about these communication barriers, view the video segment \u201cSummary: Barriers to Communication.\u201d The transcript for this video can be found by clicking the \u201cTranscript\u201d tab to the right of the video in the Films on Demand database.Foundation of Communication: Principles  At this point, you may be asking, \u201cHow can communication even exist with noisemakers and barriers negatively impacting the process?\u201d Amazingly, communication does exist, and we often build relationships at work through communication that we keep for our entire lives. However, four communication principles will impact these relationships:\u2022 Unavoidable \u2022 Irreversible \u2022 Symbolic \u2022 LearnedLearn more about these principles of communication by viewing the following Unit I Principles of Communication PowerPoint Presentation. You may also access this presentation in printable form in the PDF.Fundamentals of Communication: Communication Styles  Our communication styles or how we prefer to communicate may clash with our coworker\u2019s, supervisor\u2019s, or customer\u2019s style.   How many of us have found an alternative route to our desk so we do not get trapped by an endless talker who must tell us about their weekend adventures? Perhaps we have run out of excuses to not join a drama king or queen for lunch. Yet, what about a frequent flyer customer who constantly returns to the store for one more question about the product they bought? Do we avoid them?   Our communication style may depend upon many factors including our personality type, culture, and gender.   To learn more about gender differences and communications styles, view the video segment \u201cGender Differences: Communication Styles.\u201d The transcript for this video can be found by clicking the \u201cTranscript\u201d tab to the right of the video in the Films on Demand database.  Please be mindful to not play into stereotypes when thinking about gender differences and communication styles. Men are not always more direct than women; women are not always more emotional than men.   Our Unit I discussion offers a further examination of communication styles.<br \/>\n  COM 2301, Professional Communication 6UNIT x STUDY GUIDE TitleSummaryThe fundamentals of communication are the first piece in our Professional Communication puzzle. Key concepts overviewed in this lesson included the communication process (and noisemakers), communication barriers, principles, and styles.   As we continue putting together our puzzle, let\u2019s remember that being a perfect communicator is not the goal. Becoming a better communicator is\u2014and doing so is truly a lifetime journey (Makematic, 2019).References  Foster, S. K., Wiczer, E., &#038; Eberhardt, N. D. (2019, December).
