Q Journal Suggestions You are to keep a journal throughout Units 1-6 of this course. Journal entries should document observations of interpersonal communication interactions throughout each week. You will post a minimum of two journal entries per week. Each entry should provide an analysis of your communication. Each journal entry should answer one of the questions below (you will answer two questions each week). Entries should identify a relationship to a course concept or term and finally summarize how the interaction could be improved. Remember, to document your observations, relate to course concepts and indicate ways to maintain or improve. You should clearly label each entry and post them in one word document or use the text entry feature in Canvas. If you submit two different posts, it may appear that your first post disappeared but your instructor will be able to see each submission. Each entry should be approximately 150-200 words. This Unit's Journal Entries This unit, while observing your own communication patterns, or that of the people around you, try to find examples that reflect the following: • Are you more aggressive or more assertive in conversation? Provide an example of a time this unit when you were aggressive or assertive and describe how your approach impacted the situation. • Are there certain words that make you feel irritated? Happy? Sad? Why do these words affect you thus? • What type of cultural identifiers have you used or heard others use? What impact can these identifiers have in the workplace. Provide an example. • How specifically can you improve your nonverbal communication on the job? With a significant other? With your friends?
