This week I learned to pay attention to my listening process. Previously I never really though about listening as a skill, but more as something that I just do. I now realize that listening is a valuable skill that can be practiced and improved upon. I also learned that I am not as good at listening than I thought previously. I used to think I was a good enough listener and I didn't really need to focus on developing my listening ability. Now I see that I might be missing out on valuable information because of my listening shortcomings.
This week I learned that listening is something that you have to be consciously aware of. It is a process that requires effort. To be a successful listener, you have to know what to do to effectively comprehend and respond to the speaker. I have realized that my methods for listening should be different depending on the situation. For example, listening in class requires more comprehension and listening to a friend involves more response. This week I also learned that I am constantly being affected by rhetoric. Rhetoric is in everyday things, such as signs and videos. I have learned to pay more attention to my effort to listen and what is used to persuade me.
I learned that if I ever wanted or needed to, I could make use of a collection of steps in order to assure that I listening better. Listening can also be seen as a skill that I can be trained in order to become more effective.
This week I learned that my listening process is not as good as I thought. However, I did learn that I can improve my listening skills by following new steps that I have learned. I use different listening techniques depending on the situation I am in. If I am in class, I have a difficult time staying focused, but if I am engaged in conversation, it is easier for me to stay focused on the topic. I also learned that rhetoric is applied in my life every day. Everywhere I go, there are signs and people persuading me to feel a certain way about something.
This week I learned that I have a listening processes in my head that I can't really explain. It's easy for me to think about it and do but it's harder to put it into words or a stepped process. I can focus myself and run it through in my head without thinking about it, but I still need practice with it. I don't have an amazing track record of listening fully and staying focused on the task at hand, but I think I can improve that with a bit of practice. My biggest lesson this week is a bit counter intuitive, but sometimes listening to everything that is said isn't the best way to go, it'll bog you down and you won't be able to focus on what's important.
This week in class I learned listening is a skill that can be practice and fine-tuned like other skills. This could be completed by making a plan before listening to an individual and reflecting on what you did well and what could use improvement. In addition to this, I learned that my listening skills could be improved individually. I need recognize better what information is truly important to me and to listen more attentively when appropriately.
This week I learned that I'm a bigger fan of folk music than I thought I was. Prior to this week, I had never defined my own listening process. I learned that I can and should improve the way I listen. The self examination that we've done in class has shown me that I definitely have room to grow and a lot to learn in college.
This week I not only learned that there is such thing as a listening process, but also that I use it everyday. I used to think that listening just happened on its own, however I not understand that it requires attention and thought. By discovering my listening process, I now feel more comfortable going into my classes. I feel more prepared to listen and learn and am excited to use my listening process in the future.
This week in class I learned a lot of things. First of all, I learned how to effectively listen, and how others listen. Before class I didn't know that listening was such a process, and that it took so much effort and preparation. I this learned that I'm not as good of a listener as I thought. For most my life, I haven't been doing the things that make a good listener. I will try to correct that from now on. I learned that if I want to be more successful in college, improving my listening skills would be very beneficial.
This week I learned that there actually is a listening process and that it varies for each person. I never thought of it as something that needed to be learned, but as a skill you just know. I learned that I am not always the best listener since I can get distracted, but I always try my best to give my full attention. I've also learned certain ways to improve my process, which I will use to make me a better listener. This whole week made me think about how there's many ways I can grow through my college experience.
This week, I learned a lot about my personal listening process and how much listening carefully can benefit me. I've learned to pay attention to my responses when listening as well as put myself in the shoes of my speaker. I've also discovered ways to improve my listening skills and everyday conversations. I think this past week will help me to focus on being a better listener and student in the future.
I learned that I listen better than I thought to most things, but also need to improve in areas that I didn't know I needed to. I also learned just how much I care for other's opinions while also being uncaring if it is a person attack on me.
