This week, we have learned about the processes of Communication, Perception, and Listening. This information, combined with gaining an understanding of our Self Concept, helps us begin to establish a foundation for developing greater awareness of how much our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact our experiences.
For this week’s Discussion Board post, please think about and respond to the three questions below. Write in a way that encourages your reader to reflect and be motivated to engage with you in a discussion. Be thorough by supporting your assertions with evidence, making direct reference to course concepts, and using course terminology throughout. You may have noticed there are no quizzes or exams, these posts are partially the method of evaluation that has taken their place. As you write your responses, keep in mind that you want to “showcase” your knowledge as you would on an exam.
Guidelines: Once you have made your original post (500 word minimum, but you are encouraged to write more!), please respond to no fewer than two of your classmates (150 word minimum per response). You are encouraged to engage with more than just two of your classmates AND to come back several times throughout the week as the conversation between you and your classmates unfold. Please do not include the prompts, your name, or a header, simply number your responses and write your response. The first sentence after the number should be the start of your response.
Part One: Respond to the following two Discussion Questions:
