Use specific examples to illustrate your ideas. You should refer to and cite concepts from the text, Tatum, Headlee & Chodron articles, TED Talks, slides, and discussions — you may even cite colleagues from the class. You may not use any other sources other than the ones listed (unless it relates to your discipline) — i.e., if you see a correlation to your discipline, please make the connection — i.e., do not google, wikipedia terminology just to merely ‘define’ concepts). Please do not treat this as merely personal opinion, while at the same time, I hope you treat this as a ‘review’ more so than a ‘test’. Your answers should be grounded in our shared theory and understanding– there are so many resources from which to choose that we’ve covered in our semester. Please cite specific page numbers (or references, i.e., TED Talks) from the text/readings/sources/slides to support your answers. CHOOSE 15 OF THE FOLLOWING 20 QUESTIONS. 1. What are some of the important reasons for studying communication since we’ve learned (and demonstrated) that communication is not common sense? 2. Why might it be useful to have an understanding of the communication models (linear, synergistic models)?. Explain and give examples to demonstrate your answer. 3. If you were to present a research proposal or study to the university administration on the difference between colleague (i.e., student) participation in zoom vs. in person classes, which of the 3 research approaches would you use and why? List your approach, give a brief outline of your methods, rationale and specific steps for your choice. 4. We often talk about and stress the importance of diversity. What is the difference of studying diversity (number of folks in a given context) versus identity (how different people are directly impacted) in light of the Creating Community class activity, the Personal Identity Profile, etc.? (For example, Ch. 3, Ch. 4 and Tatum’s ‘Who Am I?’). 5. Two people can perceive an event, person, history or an incident in very different ways. Please refer to the slides we viewed together in class on Perception as an example. Thinking of concepts from Chapters 3, 4, 8 & the Tatum article what are the reasons for such different perceptual realities? 6. What is border dwelling? Please define and provide an example from your own life. (Ch. 8). 7. What is attribution error? Provide examples for components of this theory from your own life. How is this related to ethical communication and emotional intelligence? 8. What is the difference between denotative and connotative definitions of words and language? Why is this distinction important? Why do the differences matter? Provide specific examples for each definition outside of the text’s examples (something that resonates for you personally). 9. Nonverbal communication can be both complementary and contradictory to verbal communication. Explain and provide specific examples for both of these concepts to illustrate outside of the text’s examples. 10. List and describe the ethical considerations of trigger words (not trigger warnings). Trigger words can be deliberately used to incite vs. used unintentionally, but someone might give you feedback on as to why the word or term is offensive (classist, racist, negative towards people with disability, etc.). Given how we moved through these challenges in class, what are some communication strategies you might use to move forward and/or find common ground? 11. List and describe at least three barriers to effective listening. Provide specific examples and how to overcome those barriers and why this is important. 12. What are some of the issues that get in the way of building trust, or reasons for reluctance of vulnerability in close personal relationships/intimate relationships (think of any close relationship)? 13. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of working in small groups? Give specific examples to illustrate. 14. What are the main differences between the task dimension and the relational dimension of working in small groups? Why are both important? Which of these dimensions or roles do you usually play in small group settings? 15. Knowing your Myers-Briggs (preference) based on the tool (as this is not a test), what are some of the strengths and limitations you bring to a small group or team and/or to an organization? 16. What are some of the behaviors of supervisors/team leaders who exhibit positive and effective workplace team-building practices, communication and motivation? 17. What are ethos, pathos and logos? Define and give specific examples to illustrate each. Provide examples for a speech you would give to illustrate these three artistic proofs rather than using the text’s examples. If asked to give a speech on the importance of studying millennials and their workplace values (or the generation to which you belong) how would you present your speech? 18. If you were asked to teach/mentor younger colleagues who are new to college, the workplace, entering their careers, what would you share in terms of the important reasons to study mass and social media in terms of critical thinking? 19. What is a fallacy and why is this an important concept for rhetorical communication/public speaking/political communication? 20. Choose one assignment from this semester and how and why it expanded your knowledge base/made you think differently, helped you think/reflect more critically as a student in CST110?
