All of the assignments listed below will be described in greater detail via Canvas. Rubrics or appropriate grading criteria are always included with those assignments, as well.
Throughout the semester, you will have five opportunities to post and interact with your classmates on discussion boards. These discussion board activities are designed to strengthen your knowledge of interpersonal communication concepts, as well as interact with your classmates. Each activity will relate to that week’s reading. They vary in type (video recording or write-up) and are usually brief. The activities are listed on our course calendar and described in more detail via Canvas.
During this course, you will have five required write-ups that are submitted to your instructor. These journal entries will be one page submissions where you apply course material to your life and then report back on the results or your experience. These journal prompts are listed on our course calendar and described in more detail via Canvas.
There are a total of 10 quizzes related to your required reading. These quizzes will be multiple-choice and/or short answer questions. Each quiz will end with a place to ask questions so that I may answer and clarify ideas for the next week. The quizzes can be taken multiple times before the due date and they have no time limit.
For this project, you and 2-3 classmates will act as a consulting group that has been hired to help us improve our skills within a specific interpersonal concept that isn’t covered in class. To do this, you will select and research a specific interpersonal communication concept, build fun tutorials or an informational visual, and then provide a 10-15 minute group presentation. Your presentation will teach us something about an interpersonal communication concept. See the assignment for more information.
*This project can be individually, if you wish (presentation time limit will be reduced to 4-6 minutes)
*There is a live audience requirement of three or more people if your project is done individually
