Comm Dynamics 128

Wednesday

Continuing the key concepts from Ch. 3 on perception, we watched the video examples from the text DVD.

We then did an exercise whose purpose was to help students understand how perceptions are formed (when meeting a new person).

One item that emerged in the process of discussion after the exercise was that women were better than men at figuring out a conversational partner's preferences for what the other person might do with leisure time, etc.

For next class:

We will check in Ch. 5 and miscellaneous workbook chapters that students have completed.

There may be a .ppt on emotions or there may be a pair/share.


Monday

We worked from Ch. 3 on perception.

The instructor put terms from the chapter on the board that were about perception.

Students reviewed the terms in their book.

The instructor then played an example of the term at work from a video.

We discussed the term.

On Wednesday, we will finish three terms and do an exercise that will help students understand how others perceive us.

Students should be reading and filling out the workbook for Ch. 5. We will check workbooks on Friday, as usual.
