Part B

This report will discuss about the knowledge that I have gained from by the assessment 2. Moreover, in doing the assessment 2, there are various shortcomings being identified me. The feedback which I have got from my lecturer also helped me to identify the shortcomings in the report. This, in this reflective report, I will talk about the knowledge that I have gained from doing the assessment 2 and will also identify the key shortcomings of mine. In addition, I will also discuss about some of the measures that I will initiate in order to overcome and rectify the shortcomings in my future assignments.

Importance of Entertaining Events in the Corporate

From doing the assessment 2, one of the key knowledge being gained by me is the overall understanding about the elements that are important to consider in the modern day business communication. This is due to the reason that, in the assessment 2, I had talked about the elements such as ethos, pathos and logos and their respective importance in the business communication. Thus, researching about these elements helped me to gain a deeper understanding about the business communication. Another knowledge that is having gained from the assessment 2 is the importance of the ethos, pathos and logos in enhancing the effectiveness of the modern day business communication. In that assignment, I have given various examples and illustrations, which helps me to have the practical idea about how these elements are helping in having effective and efficient business communication.

However, another important knowledge that was gained by me is not directly related to the business communication but it is related to the assessment is the determination of the opinion of the other scholars and authors in this topic. Thus, it helped me to have extensive knowledge about the other opinions along with gaining the understanding about how to critically analyze the opinions of different scholars. Thus, from the previous discussion of the knowledge gained by me, it can be concluded that this deeper understanding regarding the contemporary business communication will help me in inducting more detailed and elaborative ideas in my future assignments. Moreover, it will also help me in having effective process of communication in my future workplace.

As stated in the introductory portion of this report, there are various shortcomings of mine being identified in the assessment two.  One of the prominent shortcomings being identified is the use of the quality research journals in the report. This is due to the reason that, I have used various journal articles in the assessment 2 in order to critically analyze the importance of different elements of the business communication, but I was unable to determine the quality and authenticity of the articles. Thus, some of the articles used in the assessment 2 may not be of the desired quality that is being expected. On the other hand, having the quality and authentic journals would have helped me in having better critical analysis.

Another shortcomings of mine being identified is the improper structure of the assignment. I have done the assessment 2 with adding all the required information but the structure is not being maintained accurately. Introduction, discussion and conclusion part are not being divided accurately and this have changed the approach of the assignment. This was mainly caused due to the reason that, I was not well aware about the ideal structure of an essay. Grammatical errors are also there in the assessment, which had lowered the quality of the assignment. I will be more careful in my future assignments about using the good and right grammar.

Activities Organized in the Event

Another shortcoming being identified in assessment 2 is the lack of true sense of critical analysis. According to the feedback I got for assessment 2, I had just discussed about the relationship between the different elements in business communication. However, the barriers that can be emerged in the process of the business communication are not being discussed in the report. Critical analysis will only be accurate when the assessment will be done from the information being gathered from both sides of the story. Thus, having opposite views in the assessment would have helped to conclude in more effective manner.

One of the key measures that is will initiate in my future assignments is proofreading. This is due to the reason that, some of the grammatical mistakes in the previous assessment can be easily mitigated by cross checking and proofreading after the completion of the assignment. Thus, from the next given assessments, I will cross check my paper for number of times in order to identify the grammatical errors and will submit an accurate assignment. For the issues related to the structuring, I will take the help of the online medium to learn about the accurate and ideal structure of different format of the assignments and will submit my future papers accordingly.

Assessment two helped me to have the clear idea about how to research and identify the authentic and quality articles for the critical analysis. Thus, in my future assignments, I will take the articles for my paper only after matching the entire criterion. Thus, my future submissions will not have the issue of using the low quality articles and journals. I will always consult with my lecturer regarding the progress of my assignments and will get the partial papers checked by them. This will help me to have the idea about the error I am doing and it will help me to rectify the errors in the initial stage itself. Another step that I thought to initiate for my future assignments is to extensively research about the given topic prior to the starting of the assignment. This will help me to have the fair idea about the topic of my assignment and in accordance to that; I will search for other required materials such as articles and journals. Moreover, having the fair idea about the topic will help me add more information in the assignment apart from the opinions of the scholars

Conclusion

Thus, the reflective report being discussed in the above sections has identified the knowledge that I have gained from the assessment 2 along with identifying the shortcomings of mine in doing the report. There are various issues being identified and along with that, various steps are also being discussed by me in order to overcome the issues and challenges. It is being expected by me that, initiation of the above discussed measures will help me to overcome all the shortcomings of mine in my future assignments and will help me to fetch more marks.
