Yesterday the instructor advised students that their outlines needed to be personalized. An example of how to personalize can be found in this letter.
We had as guest speakers two students, Michael George and Anthony Veiga, who told us about their group at Facebook. The students are against the schedule change.
We will do our three-minute speeches on Thursday. If you use sources, please hand in a Works Cited with your outline. This is mainly for speakers who speak on voting.

Comm 128 What Happened
Instructor handed back papers theory/film application papers. Any student who did not get their paper can email for grade.
We heard four student presentations of theories: Felicia, Senaya, Suzy, and Mike. Next week we will have approximately 16 presentations. Students should have three points they would like their colleagues to know about their theory.
The instructor lectured from the chapter on communication in the workplace: workplace relationships, organizational culture, organizational networks, workplace cliques, and organizational climate (defensive and supportive). Workplace abuse was also discussed.
Next week we will finish the student presentations and the instructor will review notebooks. Every notebook should have the student's research paper inside it. Students will watch a film while the instructor reviews the notebook.
This will be the last class.

Tip for Students on Gas Prices
You can find out where the best prices for gas are by going to NewJerseyGasPrices.com.
Gas is going for 3.31 a gallon at three stations at the intersection of Morris Ave. (Rt. 82) and Liberty (1) and Burnet (2). All are within a few blocks of each other.
Be aware, though, that to get the good price one has to take cash! They don't inform the customer that they charge the higher price ($3.39) if a credit card is used.
