Memorandum

Question 1:

Effective communication is a two-way process in which the intended


message is successfully sent, received, and understood by the recipient. It is
the exchange of information, ideas, and feelings so that the sender’s
message is correctly interpreted by the receiver.

Marking:

2 marks for a clear and accurate definition.

1 mark for a partially correct or vague definition.

Question 2:

Sender: The person who initiates the communication. In the scenario, Sarah
is the sender as she initiates the meeting and sends the follow-up email.

Receiver: The person or people who receive the message. The team
members are the receivers, as they receive Sarah’s message during the
meeting and in the email.

Marking:
1 mark for defining “sender.”

1 mark for linking “sender” to Sarah in the scenario.

1 mark for defining “receiver.”

1 mark for linking “receiver” to the team members in the scenario.

Question 3:

Clarity/Conciseness: Sarah’s email was concise, which makes the message


easy to understand and avoids confusion.

Feedback/Active Listening: She listened carefully and restated points to


ensure she understood the team members’ concerns, which is a key part of
the feedback process.

Consideration: Sarah took the team’s perspective into account by


encouraging them to share their ideas.

Marking:

1 mark for identifying an element (e.g., Active Listening).

1 mark for explaining how it was demonstrated in the scenario.

Repeat for the second element. (Maximum 4 marks)

Question 4:

Meetings for discussion: The team meeting allowed for face-to-face


interaction, which is effective for discussing complex issues and
brainstorming ideas. It also allowed for immediate feedback and clarification.

Email for confirmation: The email served as a formal record of the decisions
made, ensuring everyone has a clear understanding of their tasks and
responsibilities. This reduces misunderstandings that can arise from purely
verbal agreements.

Marking:

1 mark for identifying the use of meetings.

1 mark for explaining the benefit of using meetings in this context.

1 mark for identifying the use of email.

1 mark for explaining the benefit of using email in this context.
