Communication Reflective and Professional Practice - Communication Assignment Help

Assignment Task :

Assessment Task

A written reflective assignment which is based on a critical review of a conversation (AE1).  

As a formative assessment, you will practice your communications skills in a peer to peer OSCE and this can be used as the focus of your written reflection. You will also use blogging exercises to work through the module content, which will enable you to build upon your academic writing and critical analysis skills in a step-by-step way.

Using a model of reflection, your assignment will be structured to draw together the personal, theoretical and practical learning in communication.  You are required to demonstrate the learning outcomes listed below.

1. Describe the core skills, processes and theories of interpersonal communication and show how environmental and social factors can potentially impact on the success of interactions

Assessment criteria 

A1 – A4

A first class assignment will be excellent in terms of presentation, style and structure. Spelling, punctuation and grammar will be of an extremely high standard with no corrections. Referencing will be accurate, and the student will have used well-chosen supporting evidence from a wide range of interesting literature. Relevant theories of communication processes and an understanding of the impact of social and environmental factors will have been critically analysed and linked imaginatively to excellent examples of communication in practice. Importantly, a thorough and honest reflection and analysis of personal communication skills in a professional context are demonstrated with excellent, specific reference to the practice video recordings and feedback received from peers, tutors and the service user or carer. At the top end of the scale, there will be clearly identified and personally meaningful learning points for the student’s future practice.

Spelling, punctuation and grammar will also be of a very high standard and the referencing will be correct. The student will have drawn appropriately on the literature.

There is some honest reflection and analysis of personal communication skills in a professional context which are demonstrated with clear reference to the practice video recordings and feedback received from peers, tutors and the service user or carer; consideration will have been given to learning points for future practice
