CS2101X – Effective Communication for Computing Professionals<\/h2>\r\n

Description<\/h4>\r\n

This practice-driven course prepares computing students for workplace communication in AI-rich environments. Students learn active listening, strategic questioning, and calibrated responses; collaborate to elicit and synthesize diverse perspectives for problem framing and root-cause analysis; and integrate generative AI with human judgment to produce fast, clear, audience-tailored messages. Through case studies, feedback giving, reflections, students learn to craft workplace artefacts across diverse platforms while developing an authentic, credible presence. Metacognitive-inspired reflections strengthen students’ awareness of when to trust, verify, and refine AI outputs.<\/p>\r\n

Objectives<\/h4>\r\n

By the end of the course, students should be able to:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Articulate complex technical and non-technical ideas in spoken and written forms.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Use communication styles that suit different contexts and audiences.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Engage in collaborative learning environments.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Develop skills for independent learning.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Demonstrate effective communication skills through continuous engagement, reflection, practice and feedback.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Recognize the vital role of effective communication skills in academic, personal and professional contexts.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
