Public Speaking as an Interactive Communication Process

Question

What is the means by which we communicate?

A) Channel

B) Source

C) Interference

D) Feedback

Answer 1

Hi Faith,

 

Every communication system has 5 intentional elements and one unintentional element.  The five elements are Transmitter (Source), Encoder, Channel, Decoder, Receiver and a feedback loop.

 

The means is the channel - in the case of voice transmission it is the air.

 

Does that make sense?
