Week of July 11th - July 17th

Listed below is a summary of what's listed on the Participation and Schedule Pages on D2L for this week:

***Read Chapter 6 - Interpersonal Communication
***Read Chapter 7 - Group Communication

***There is a Quiz this week on Chapters 7 & 12. Please go to D2L to take the quiz.

***Complete Journal #4. As a reminder, all journal entries will be turned in at the end of the semester.

Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). Which pattern (rigid complementarity, competitive symmetry, or submissive symmetry) do you think would be the most difficult to change? Why? Which would be the most damaging to a relationship? Which would be the most potentially damaging to the self-esteem of the individuals involved?

2). Think about the filters you use to eliminate people from consideration as potential romantic partners. What characteristics or behaviors lead you to judge others as unattractive? Does Duck's theory make sense to you? Have you ever eliminated someone by using a sociological or pre-interaction cue only to reconsider them based on interaction and cognitive cues?

3). Pick one concept from Chapter 7 that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 3 comments to your colleagues blogs this week. As a reminder, the comments must be about the discussion this week. Posting on a past discussion will NOT count for credit.
