We started the class by going over strategies for dealing with emotions, which is from last week's chapter. The instructor wanted to draw attention to the strategies becuase of their importance with communication. We talked about avoidance, reappraisal, and other techniques.
Next we checked in the work for the week, which consisted of two additional pages for the theory paper and two interviews for the "I Am" paper.
After a short break, we went through a Powerpoint on "developing interpersonal competence." In this section of the class, we learned what it means to be an effective communicator.
Next week:
Read Ch. 6 and do the workbook
Vacation on Theory paper but re-read, edit if you can
1-2 more interviews for "I Am" paper
