You are just beginning your "formal" study of interpersonal communication. Chapter 1 deals with why we communicate, the communication process itself, and the nature and method of our communication within a very small group, usually of ourselves and one other person.
In this class, you are required to keep a journal. This journal will contain communications that occur with members of your family, your friends, work associates, fellow students… whomever you interact with on a daily/ weekly basis. It will create a record of important concepts/new vocabulary that hopefully you will practice this semester in your communication attempts with these ‘important" people in your life.
It will also serve to provide you with examples of your communication efforts to include in your paper which is a 100 point assignment.
For your first journal assignment, I would like you to consider the following questions and answer them briefly in a one-page summary.
#1. There are five basic reasons why humans engage in interpersonal communication. Look up these reasons in Chapter 1, (p 19-20)….Identify 5 important relationships in your life, and discuss why you ‘conduct’ them.(what reasons..) Give an example of a person/group in your life which fulfills one or more of these reasons: " I play with my husband, Jerry each day to enjoy and build our relationship"
2. Honestly, what do you do competently regarding IPC, and what would you improve? In other words, what are your strengths and weaknesses as an interpersonal communicator?
