Office Hours w/ Professor Hy: Recent Episodes
Brian Hy
I was a shy, soft-spoken ESL student afraid of answering questions in class, expressing my opinions, and sharing my ideas. Fifteen years later, I’ve become a professor of Communication Studies and a National Award-Winning Speaker. I've won 73+ awards, authored 2 self-help books and 4 university textbooks, and pushed my students to communicate with confidence -- not just on stage.

Logical fallacies often work because they take advantage of our cognitive biases and might seem reasonable on the surface, particularly when we are using heuristics to make quick decisions. Logical fallacies are also pervasive, and we often do not catch them because we encounter them so many times every day.

Every day, we make millions of decisions. Should I wear this shirt? Should I really watch another episode on Netflix or go to sleep? Each of these decisions takes mental energy and we simply can’t think through all of the possible sources of evidence and the consequences of every possible choice that we could make. To help manage the amount of information we receive and the decisions that we make, we have to mentally sort information, messages, and decisions into two piles.

You will often be asked to provide feedback to others to help them improve their messages. For example, you might do peer workshops in this class as you prepare your speeches, and will also be asked to give feedback on papers, reports, and other materials throughout your academic and professional life. For speech feedback, in particular, there are four primary types of feedback that people tend to give others, some of which are helpful, and some of which are not (Simonds, Meyer, Hunt, & Simonds, 2009).

How we hear and interpret messages is informed by our experiences, social positions, and relationships. Often, when we hear a new position on a current political or social issue that is not aligned with what we believe to be true and right, we may be quick to defend our position and ignore anyone or any position that does not confirm what we believe to be true. In other cases, however, we may hear something that confirms what we already believe to be true or right, and we are quick to agree and double-down on our position.

Verbal feedbackincludes all of the ways that we use our voice to let the speaker know what we think and to show that we are listening to the other person in a conversation. Be sure to consider how social positions, power relationships, and intersectional experiences may change the way you provide feedback in a conversation. Feedback should be adapted for your audience, whether it is directed at one person or 100 people.

As individuals, we have agency in deciding what we want our communication style to be, and how we want to communicate to and with the world around us. Across social media outlets, in print magazines, and on television we have entire industries focused on developing personal style and brands through the use of clothing, makeup, accessories, and hairstyles. Some of the most popular videos on YouTube are created to help individuals develop their makeup application skills, or to perfect the latest dance moves.

When we listen, our behaviors should reflect that we are paying attention to the messages and responding authentically to our conversation partner. We should look like we are paying attention and that we care about this conversation. This involves quieting our own minds in exchange for fully being present in a moment and engaging someone else’s message. Unfortunately, we are not always very good at this, especially during a heated debate or pressing conversation.

Verbal feedbackincludes all of the ways that we use our voice to let the speaker know what we think and to show that we are listening to the other person in a conversation. Be sure to consider how social positions, power relationships, and intersectional experiences may change the way you provide feedback in a conversation. Feedback should be adapted for your audience, whether it is directed at one person or 100 people.

Communication models provide us with ways of understanding the different elements present in the communication process. Models illuminate each part of the communication process and allow us to diagnose areas where miscommunication has occurred, so that we can remedy a situation and learn how to prevent future miscommunication. There are three models that are used to describe the communication process, and each of these models builds on the others to explain more complex elements of the communication process. The three models of communication are the transmission, interaction, and transaction models.
