Improving Interpretation

I find this concept very interesting because it comes into play in all parts of communicating. In the case of a college student it is very important in a formal setting. In interpersonal realtionships it is necessary to maintain relationships.
College students have to place an importance on improving interpretation. This is necessary for success in classes with complex material. The idea of the perception check reminded me of a concept called reflective listening. In order to communicate successfully, you need to let the sender know how you interpreted the message in order for them to know they got the message through the way they intended it. Reflective listing or perception checking is also important in interpersonal relationships.
In disagreements the idea of interpreting successfully is very important. Everyone has their own way of communicating and this needs to be tended to in interpersonal relationships. People communicate in unclear ways especially when they are very reliant on their emotions. This is the most important time to deconstruct the message and ignore your feelings. This is a concept that stood out in the book. Considering the other persons feelings is something that is needed for successful communication to take place.
