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 Interpersonal Communication skills.
You should clearly label each entry and post them in two separate word documents 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:
Please upload two separate Journal Entries each week and be sure to upload each Journal Entry at separate times. Here is what I post each term:
A quick note about your weekly Journal Entries. As you write out your journal entries be sure to use and cite sources (see rubric in grade book and other rubrics throughout this course); also, you may choose to either create and upload two separate Word documents with separate names or you may choose to simply write out your two separate journal entries within the weekly Journal module. Although it may seem that your first journal entry disappeared if or when you upload or submit your second journal entry, in reality, your instructor can see every upload and/or submission, the time and the day of the uploads/submissions. Every time you upload or submit work it goes into the grade book for evaluation and grading. You are welcome to improve your uploads and submissions as often as you need to and your instructor will be aware that you have improved or enhanced your entries.
