2. What is the Communication Cycle?
The Communication Cycle is the way a message is sent from one
individual and received from another individual.
One must also remember the forms of communication.
Ex. Face to face conversations, Text messages, e-mail, etc.
The Communication Cycle consists of all of the time spent from
the sender to the receiver.
4. Stage 1: Aim/Creation
This stage falls completely onto the sender of the message.
The sender of the message (in this case me) decides what is
important for the receiver to hear (you).
5. Stage 2: Transmission
This stage again relies on the sender.
In this stage the sender of the message says whatever he or
she needs to via one method of communication.

7. Woah, What just happened?
Feedback is when the message is altered in any way. Like the pictures of
the Segways the message was altered from the path that the sender
desired.
In every exchange in communication there is a external source that can
disrupt the message the sender is attempting to transmit.
This happens even if we don’t realize it. For example, have you ever had
class and another room leaves and is loud. That disruption of the teachers
lesson is environmental feedback.

8. Most Common Types of Feedback
Noise
As motioned before noise
probably the most
noticed type of feedback.
Movement
A movement disruption
such as another student
dropping a pen and
moving closer to get it is
a type of feedback.
Internal
Probably the most
unnoticed type of
feedback. This is a
distraction within the
sender or receiver that
causes large amounts of
feedback.
9. Stage 3: Reception
This is the first stage where the receiver of the message can
actually interact with the message.
This stage is what the receiver of the messages hears, reads,
etc. Or what the receiver thinks that he or she heard due to
feedback.
10. Stage 4: Decoding
In this stage the receiver of the message does all of the work
trying to figure out what the message means.
The receiver converts what he received from the message
into its own meaning. This might not correlate with what the
sender’s aim was.
11. Stage 5: Response
The final stage of the communication cycle.
In this stage the receiver of the message becomes the new
sender of the message and will go through the first 2 stages
of the communication cycle again.
12. Conclusion
The Communication Cycle is used very frequently and
inconsistent in speed. The cycle can hold a conversation
lasting an hour with only one turn of the cycle or five minutes
with many turns.
The Communication Cycle has 5 stages. In these stages we
can find feedback interrupting the cycle all together.
