During the course of the semester, you should develop an in depth understanding of at least one area of interpersonal communication. To accomplish this, you should select and carefully read an in-depth book (usually a paperback, not a text book) that is related to your area of interest. The entire book must be read, not skimmed.The book should be a self-help, relationship, or family relations book. This book should have at least 150 pages. Avoid making a random choice so that the book you select is consistent with your interests as well as the course. Once you have read the book, you will submit a one-page summary as it relates to your life by answering a set of questions in 1,2,3 format. Simply writing a “book report” of the contents of the book will not be fulfilling the assignment. The focus of your answers should be on personal application.
Your paper should be typed, 1 ½ or double spaced, and proofread.
Your paper should be at least 300 words long. Please note the word count at the end of the paper.
You MUST add your book to the discussion board labeled Book Application Paper topic. If someone else has chosen the same book, you must choose another book. Only one student can choose each book per class.
Please make certain to answer each of the following questions thoroughly. Use examples from the book and your own personal experience. Make sure to cite your sources if you decide to use outside sources (including the book you are writing about).
1. Why did you choose this book?
2. Briefly name and explain five things in the book that you thought were particularly helpful and applicable to your life.
3. Was there anything in the book you didn’t agree with or like?
4. Has this book changed the way you interact with others or see yourself? If so, how?
Category: Interpersonal communication
The central theme or thesis for this paper involves three main ideas: conflict is often caused by expectancy violations, we often mismanage conflict by not knowing the appropriate conflict resolution strategy to use, and when we do this, we can end up causing a destructive relationship climate that can damage our relationships with others..
I have uploaded very specific rubric and guidelines. The source that we use is Interplay: The Process of interpersonal communication by Ronald B. Adler, however if you are unable to use this source for definations and reference I will try to go behind you an update it myself to fit the required text. or I can provide you with the specific definitions and quotes from the book.
Utilizing all that we have reviewed about the core fundamentals within the communication process, our direction here is toward advanced development and strength of consistency of focus within the longer project. The direction is toward clearly presenting to the reader any and all relevant information that advances our comprehensive understanding of communications and the communication process within a specific environment.
Choose a specific workplace environment and a specific position, then consider and analyze the primary communication responsibilities of that precise situation. Examples would be to examine the communication responsibilities and processes of a nurse in a hospital, a teacher in a day care, a sales associate in a retail setting, etc.
As you choose your topic, please consider what outside information might be easily accessed by you. In this course, time management is an important consideration.
For this extended analysis, the management plan is more extensive and incremental than in previous assignments. The added responsibility of this challenge is with regard to the specific and complete presentation of information gained from varied reference and research sources. Check in dates that we will identify as we go forward will reflect topic approval, specific thesis development, and the progressive organization of strong content.
Please consider that because the primary focus of this course is directed toward an advanced competence in the areas of rhetorical knowledge, the essential communication components of your chosen workplace should be identified and examined. Your precise challenge is to create a comprehensive document that well presents the relevant research, advances the mission of your paper, and well represents the targeted goals or objectives of this course.
Accessing all resources that are available to you, carefully consider the appropriate MLA format and structure that respects the origin of all original statements and shared opinions. Keep in mind that the expanded criteria for this advanced writing challenge are as follows:
1. Does the paper meet the precise challenge?
2. Is the information well organized and the content complete?
3. Is attention directed to the use of key terms?
4. Is the outside research well focused, varied and appropriate?
5. Is the MLA format well managed?
