Option 1: Chapter 1: Communication Strengths and Weaknesses in Face-to-Face Interactions Review the section on “Characteristics of Competent Communication” in the course text [Interplay].Then, think of your current relationships that involve regular communication. Answer each of the following questions:What do you identify as your single major strength in the area of interpersonal communication? Cite one specific personal example where you displayed this strength.
What do you identify as your one significant weakness? Give one specific example to illustrate why you feel this is a problem area for you.
How do your strength and weakness both relate to the “Characteristics of Competent Communication” section in Chapter 1? Make sure to use course terminology in your analysis.
How can you improve your face-to-face communication?
Option 2: Chapter 2: Social Media/Tweets, Say it or Type It? To begin, watch this video: Men Read Mean Tweets to Women Sports ReportersAfter you view the video, answer each of the following questions:The men reading the mean tweets found it difficult to do so. Why did the writers of the tweets not find it so difficult to post them?
Do you have any examples or experiences where people displayed incivility on social media?
Are people more or less civil online than face-to-face? Why?
The tagline of the video is “We wouldn’t say it to their faces, so let’s not type it.” How can this principle be applied to the use of social media more generally?
Participants must create/post a thread in order to view other threads in each forum. Please do not include prompt/DB questions in your posts. Do not post a blank thread or a partial thread to access the threads and read before posting your thread. In the past, this method has been used by students to copy or steal content from the posts of classmates. This is obvious when someone posts a blank thread and then posts their original thread later. If this occurs, the second post will be pulled down and receive no credit. If you accidentally submit a blank original thread [hit submit too soon], immediately submit another original thread (within 5 minutes of “blank” post) for credit. Then, send the Professor an Inbox explaining the situatio so the blank page can be pulled down.
