Here is what is listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages from D2L for this week. The schedule for the entire semester, and the discussion questions for the entire semester are listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages, respectively. In case you do not want to wait for the "Monday Post", you are more than welcome to get started by looking at those two pages on D2L.
Due this week:
*Read Chapter 7, Group Communication
*Read Chapter 6, Interpersonal Communication
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Start working on Journal #4. See D2L for the assignment sheet for Journal #4.
(NOTE: The journal entries should be completed as I assign them, however, the entire journal will not be due until Sunday, July 29th.)
*Quiz on D2L on Chapters 7 & 12. Please log onto D2L before Saturday to take the quiz.
*Turn in the Concept Application Paper - due by Sunday night at 11:59pm. Please follow the instructions for submission on the assignment sheet.
Class Discussion:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE.
1). Which pattern (rigid complementarity, competitive symmetry, or submissive symmetry) do you think would be the most difficult to change? Why? Which would be the most damaging to a relationship? Which would be the most potentially damaging to the self-esteem of the individuals involved?
2). Think about the filters you use to eliminate people from consideration as potential romantic partners. What characteristics or behaviors lead you to judge others as unattractive? Does Duck’s theory make sense to you? Have you ever eliminated someone by using a sociological or pre-interaction cue only to reconsider them based on interaction and cognitive cues?
3). Pick one concept from Chapter 7, not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs. (As a reminder, comments will only be counted for the current discussion week. I do not go back to past discussion weeks to look for comments. Once a discussion week is over, it's over. So please make sure you are commenting on a relevant blog post. In other words, pay close attention to the post, and date.
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm131p.blogspot.com/ and look under "Student Blogs" to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words.
Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case there I have questions about where they are located.
