1. Read Steps to Writing a Good Paper.

2. Do the Week One Paper training and take the quiz demonstrating you understand what is expected ofyou on this paper.
3. Read Understanding the Paper Grading Rubrics

Week One Assignment Instructions

In section 1.4, Bevan and Sole (2014) discuss many principles of communication – taking responsibility for your behavior, shared meaning, acknowledging your view is only one, respecting others and yourself, and practicing being a competent communicator. In this assignment, you will explain two of these basic principles and then think through them with an example of miscommunication from your life or a hypothetical scenario. To close, you will identify a challenge Bevan and Sole address (see Section 1.3 on misperception, long-distance relationships and intergenerational relationship) or some other barrier that disrupted the process of communication and how this can be overcome.
Here is the assignment breakdown:
• Drawing on Chapter one in Bevan and Sole (see section 1.4 specifically), explain two basic principlesof interpersonal communication.

* Describe an instance of miscommunication (it is okay for you to use a hypothetical).
* Identify one or more challenge (see Bevan and Sole, Section 1.3) or barrier that caused thismiscommunication.

•	Explain how that challenge or barrier interrupted the process of successful communication and how they can be overcome based on what you’ve learned in this course. When you’ve completed the first draft of your paper, use the grading rubric to assess how you did. If you see weaknesses in any section, spend some additional time with that section.

Everyone Has a Culture. Some students think that they do not have much of a cultural background because they were not born outside of the United States or because they do not speak another language. The truth is that everyone has a culture! https://ashford.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Week+2+Webinar+-+Culture+in+Action/0_74gfapck

Reflect: Based on what you have learned in Chapter 3, think about key elements of your own culture and how it influences both the style and content of your communication. Think about how your culture shapes how you communicate with others, especially those who are from other cultures. Why is culture important in understanding effective communication? How can knowing about your own culture help you build bonds and/or bridge cultural divides? If you are struggling, think about where you live and the consumer goods that surround you. How do these reflect your values and beliefs? How has communication shaped those choices and ideas? Write: Based on what you have learned in class this week,
•	Define culture and explain why it is important to understanding communication.
•	Explain how understanding and assessing culture can improve your own communication. Describeyour own culture and share with us what makes you who you are. Your culture can be related to your race, ethnicity, gender, age, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, media preferences, hobbies, religion, etc. Try not to focus on just one of these aspects of yourself, but instead utilize as many cultural elements as possible. Think about both style (how you speak) and content (what interests you).
•	How does your culture affect your communication with those in your own culture and those from other cultures? Thoroughly respond to the discussion elements by writing at least one to two sentences on your definition and then two to three sentences on each of the remaining two elements.

COM 200 Week 2 Discussion 2 Gender and Communication

Download free

http://homeworkbest.com/com-200-week-2-discussion-2-gender-and-communication/

Gender and Communication. Bevan and Sole (2014) contend that most academic research has found few differences in how men and women communicate. Extending the argument, Cameron (2007) argues that our ideas about gender are often based on myths, not facts. In this discussion, you will take the sex-role inventory test and then think through the relationship between your gender orientation and how you communicate.
Prepare: As you prepare to write this discussion post, take a few moments to do the following:
• Review Bevan and Sole (2014) on gender and gender orientation (focus on Section 2.2) and read the article by Cameron

* Take the sex-role inventory test - http://personality-testing.info/tests/OSRI/.
* Provide an example of a “masculine” or “feminine” trait you use in communication.
* Identify the benefits of having an “androgynous” style

•	Review the grading rubric and remember that 25% of your grade is based on your application ofcourse material (Content/Subject Knowledge) and 25% is based on your ability to demonstrate you are thinking critically and presenting original ideas.

Reflect: Take time to analyze, and reflect on, the role of gender in communication. Consider the concept of gender orientation as an alternative explanation of how we approach and understand communication. After taking the sex-role inventory test, reflect on your sex-role inventory score and think about your own style and the potential value of an androgynous style.
Write: Based on what you have learned this week from our text and the article, answer the following questions:
• What is gender orientation?

•	What is your sex-role inventory score? Do you feel it is accurate? Referencing Bevan and Sole(2014), what is a specific verbal or nonverbal feminine or masculine trait you use in communication?

•	What are the benefits of having an androgynous communication style?

Please spend at least one paragraph on each of the questions.
Paraphrase the course readings at least once for each question to help you make your points. Consider copying and pasting these questions into a word file and addressing each of them separately. Your answers should highlight the importance of thinking about gender in relation to communication. You should then describe the concept of gender orientation, examine your sex-role inventory score with personal reflection, and explain the value of an androgynous communication style.

COM 200 Week 3 Assignment Final Paper Outline

Download free

http://homeworkbest.com/com-200-week-3-assignment-final-paper-outline/

Final Paper Outline. This week, you will write an outline for your Final Paper. Before you submit the paper, you must do the following:
1. Read this sample of an exemplary outline from a previous class. Please note that at that time students were required to cover different learning objectives. You are only required to make a plan for the three listed below.

2. Do the “week two training quiz”.
3. Use this outline template as a model for doing this assignment.

Before you begin your paper, you must review the Final Paper instructions in Week Five. You will see that you will be writing a letter of advice for a couple or group of co-workers, using the first five course learning objectives of this course. This assignment is designed to get you to create a preliminary plan for doing that final assignment that will be due in Week Five. For this week’s outline assignment you will focus only on the three learning objectives we’ve already covered in the first two weeks (listed below). Remember though that in the final draft you will be required to cover all five course learning objectives. Here are the learning objectives you must cover in this outline, and some advice for adequately addressing each:
• Explain the principles of and barriers to effective interpersonal communications. Be sure to address the significance of each principle in being an effective communicator. The best papers will list at least two barriers and provide advice for overcoming each of them.
• Analyze the role of communication in developing and maintaining one’s self-concept, self-image, and self-esteem. Be sure to define each term and directly connect each to communication. The best papers will address the relationship between psychology and communication and the importance of the relationship.
• Analyze the impact of gender and culture on interpersonal communications. Explain the relationship between gender, culture and communication and how acknowledging these elements is central to becoming an effective communicator. Consider the pros and cons of what are often deemed more “masculine” versus “feminine” forms of communication and how various styles can help us in particular contexts.
Remember, an outline is not full paragraphs. Instead, it is in bullet point form. However, you must provide a preliminary introduction and conclusion so we can see that you are on the right track. Those are the only places where paragraphs are appropriate. For more help on outlining, please review this information on outlining https://awc.ashford.edu/writing-tools-outline.html Outline created by the Ashford Writing Center.
