Good work on the exam. Grades (after a generous curve) are posted on vista. For this week's posting, I would like you to list who you are planning to interview.

Today in class, we discussed conscious listening. Being a conscious listener requires more than just hearing a message; it requires reflecting on how talk affects the whole group. This takes into account the shared vision, goals, and values of a relationship, group or organization.

For Posting: Read the following statements and choose one to comment on.

1.) Some lyrics in Rap music should be banned because they incite violence

2.) Women are best suited as caregivers rather than corporate executives

3.) The grading system at our school should be a simple pass/fail rather than letter grades

4.) Public schools should enforce a dress code to prohibit distraction

When you make your comment, I want you to recap the position of whoever previously posted on the same topic. Remember, you may have to look up a few postings or if your the first, just comment and look back later to see if the next individual effectively re-caped your opinion.

Topic Selection

Hello Class, For this week's posting I would like all of you to post your topic selection for your presentation. Remember, this can be any topic covered in our text. Search the key terms/concepts at the end of each chapter for ideas. Also, make sure when making your selection, another student has not already taken your choice.

Snow Day

I don't know about any of you, but I would like to thank the University for their speedy cancelation of class yesterday. In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. Of coarse they wait until I shovel my driveway, leave the house and get stuck on Exchange street before they cancel.

Any-who, we will just pick up with unit 2 on Monday and adapt the syllabus as we continue. This week in class we covered Models of communication and the very important CCCD process. For posting this week, I would like you to focus on channels of communication. Think about your day today and list all the different channels you used. For example;

Today, I received a text message at 6am letting me know of a school cancelation that was not mine (Tease). When I woke up later, the first thing I did was check my email. I read several messages but decided to wait to reply until later. On my way to the office I made two phone calls regarding weekend plans. After arriving, I had a face-to-face meeting with my advisor. Later, I used the instant chat through Gmail with a colleague about plans for this evening....(As you can see, I have already used 5 different channels before 11am)
