Group Communication 2415 What Happened in Class

The instructor introduced herself and talked about communication work as a marketing manager. She explained how 13 of every 20 work days in a month were devoted to either group communication or presenting in groups.

The students were then paired up to do introduction interviews. Each student interviewed a colleague for four minutes. Students wrote an outline for their interview. We had two interviews today, Steve and Victoria. Steve is a transfer from Middlesex and Victoria is a meteorology major who hopes to be graduating in May. We will complete the interviews at our next class.

Students were given the syllabus and their first assignment sheet. The assignment sheet will be posted here later in the day. The instructor went over the assignments.

The latter part of the assignments are for next week, but the top half of the assignments will be checked on Friday.

In addition, on Friday we will go over the syllabus.

Next class:

--be prepared with three-ring notebook with dividers (3 pts each)
--show book or book order (3 pts)
--be prepared to do introduction
--bookmark the three sites on the assignment sheet

Next Tuesday:

--write references page

Note: you will want to print out the last three articles, b, c, and d, as we will be using them at some point in the class.
