Prepare and submit your first written assignment by the end of the module week.

Choose any ONE theory from either Chapter 3 (Cognition & Intrapersonal Communication Theory) or Chapter 4 (Interpersonal Communication Theory) in the Dainton & Zelley book. Think about a situation that you can apply to explain this theory and how it can, did, or should be applied to the scenario at hand.

Example: use the theory of uncertainty reduction to explain how you would go about diminishing the stress for a colleague about an uncomfortable situation at work.

Weekly Assignments/Short Reports

(45% of grade)

Criteria:

This course has a requirement of weekly short reports/assignments/case studies that complement and reinforce topics covered in each module. The goal of these

assignments is to demonstrate your comprehension of key communication management principles, concepts and theories and substantiate your understanding of the course materials.

The assignments consist of various ‘think piece’ short reports and article reviews that enable you to use your critical thinking and analysis skills to apply what you are learning. These assignments are not solely opinion papers – although your “angle” on the subject matter at hand is encouraged. Please support your suggestions and

recommendations with outside sources. (Note: Wikipedia is not considered an acceptable source for this particular graduate level course.)

Twosources are required for each assignment:

• The course textbooks

• An outside ‘credible’ source.

You are welcome to use materials posted in the weekly modules and in the “Resources” area of this course as your 2nd source. Proper grammar is expected; typos, grammatical errors and unorganized writing will diminish your score. Please proof, proof, proof, and proof again!

Due Date:

• Papers are due by the end of the module week.

• No papers will be accepted after the last day of the Module week. You will receive a ‘zero’ if your report is not received by the end of the week it is due.

Details:

• Microsoft Word is the acceptable document format.

• The length of each paper is 2-3 pages.

• Margins are set at one inch on all four sides.

• Text is double-spaced using 12 pt., Times New Roman font.

• Nocover page is required.

• Submit via the appropriate activity link in the course. Please do NOT email assignments to your instructor (per the ERAU Worldwide Online submission policy).
