Comm. Dynamics 128, 7:10 p.m.

We checked in workbooks.

We read an example paper for the "giving feedback" paper, which is due Mar. 3.

We discussed concepts from the chapter, such as the  beautiful is good effect (Chinese matchmakers example); the birds-of-a-feather effect (age, class, social background); social exchange theory, and the stages of a romantic relationship (initiating, experimenting, intensifying, etc.).

We viewed example clips from the text's web site.

In the last 20" of class, the instructor showed students an overhead with a triangle showing the most effective learning strategies. Toward that end, we formed small groups to discuss who our educational target will be.  We will continue this small group meeting next week.
