Assignment preparation task 3: Analysing barriers to communication
In the previous assignment preparation task, you were asked collect samples of your writing. Take one of those samples now and think about whether or not it qualifies as a piece of effective writing.
As you review your selected writing sample, consider the following questions.
- What was your statement of purpose (or desired response)?
- Who was the audience and what were the audience’s needs?
- Were you aware of any ‘noise’ that could create a barrier for you?
- Did you take actions to overcome the barriers?
- Were you successful? If not, why not and how would you resolve the situation next time?
As you write about this experience, save your work in a Word document. You will be able to use this analysis as part of your Assignment 1A.
