Week of October 1-7

Hello Folks!

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 6: Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
*Study for the midterm (test is next week)
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Continue to work on Assignment #1 - This project is due by October 7th @ 11:59pm.  You are more than welcome to submit papers early.

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). Return to the eight principles of nonverbal communication. Pick two principles, and provide new examples of how they operate in a group or team.

2). Explain proxemics and chronemics. Are there universal rules for all cultures regarding these concepts? Give personal examples if possible. Give examples of personal experience in other cultures regarding these two concepts.

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading this week, 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://comm141p.blogspot.com/ and look on the right hand side of my blog 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.
