來自IMPROVING COMMUNICATION SKILLS的熱門評論
This course surpassed my expectation. I can not only apply what I have learned in my professional life but also can help me to improve some personal aspects, like communication with my family members.
An absolutely wonderful course on communication skills. Its a course every professional should take as it teaches the very basics of communication that we all should incorporate and practice everyday.
I find the course simplified and therefore effective. I enjoyed it and believe it is going to be useful moving forward. However, I believe some quizzes were not clear enough and lead to confusion.
I loved the course, its is simple clear and share a critical view on how we can communicate. The examples and teaching helped in understanding and diagnosis of each problem in communication.
