Health Communication M-W 6-7:15 p.m.

Wednesday

Because of the presidential debates tonight, we will take one class to examine the body language of the presidential candidates (note: this is the topic for next week--see readings). In addition, we will watch a film about Obama's communication techniques and also a video on his healthcare program.

There will also be a handout on the debates:  when and what dates they take place and who is debating and on what topics.  There is also a worksheet for the communication video.

To Do for Next Class:

Watch debates, if possible.Come prepared for discussion on communication points listed on worksheet.
Watch Romney and evaluate his nonverbal communication on the same points as on the Obama worksheet.

Monday

We took an open book exam on Chapter 2 of PsychoSocial.  We corrected the exams in class. Students looked at their paper and wrote a note to the instructor if they disagreed with how it was corrected. The instructor will log the grades in and let students know about any discrepancies.

For Wednesday, we are to be reading Ch. 3 in both books.
