Paper
More Than a Train Ride! Consultants Communicating in the Charlotte Community
Outline
Presentation (Oral communication)
– Presentations allowed me as a consultant to interact with the community based project
– Strengths and weaknesses (my own or the student's)
– Focus on my interactions with the project through consultations and in-class interactions with students
-Pedagogy practice !!! (how the class was taught, how did we support the students to develop critical thinking, communication, and intercultural competencies)
– Reflection: viewing the student's growth from the first presentation to the second and how the consultations were able to assist in the growth of student’s oral communication throughout the semester
– Focus on the way this information was presented differently this semester from the first and second semesters I was in the 3202 class and how that impacted my work as a consultant
