2415 What Happened in Class

Friday

We voted on how to handle assignments for the last four-five chapters and we chose these options:

1) speech 3-4"
2) multimedia or small group exercise of some concept from the text

The instructor will write up the assignments and distribute them next week.

Next we grouped the class by personality type for small group discussions.

We went over a handout (posted at the class text website) and read it in class. This information is important for understanding how to interact in next week's small groups.

The instructor asked the students to do the 36-question Personality Explorer at the text website:

Click the link on the lower left, "Student Edition," and then go to the link on the upper left, "Personality Type Explorer."

Next week:

Read Chapter 11
Small group dicussions about personality type
Word definition exercise for Chapter 10








Tuesday

We talked about personality types and referred to the section in the text about it, although we only we were able to find it in the older edition. If the instructor can find the reference in the 12th, it will be posted here later.

The instructor told about the four breakdowns that make up the 16 types.

Students were given a link and asked to take the profile and write down their four-letter combination (example: ENTJ). Read up on the combination at the Wiki site and also put the four-letter combination into a search engine. Print out the two articles and bring them to class.

Next class:

continue with chapter readings
do the profile and fiind the two articles and print them out for your notebook
