Assignment #1
Check-ins
Check-ins serve two main purposes. First, you provide timely and specific feedback that helps inform me of my course delivery. Second, check-ins allow you to communicate individually, privately, and regularly with me to help track your progress, individualize learning, and ensure success in the course. Check-ins in both ASL (as video submissions) or in written English. You could submit 5 check-ins in ASL and 5 in English.You must submit your check-in on Blackboard by Friday at 11:59 pm Eastern Time Zone on the assigned due dates. Note: There is no make-up if you miss that day. Please check for Opt-Out for Chapter Tests and Make-Up Tests under Class Policies.
Assignment #2
In-Class Discussions and Activity for Chapters
On Mondays and Wednesdays in class, you will discuss and analyze each chapter and answer questions critically and in-depth rather than just stating the answers from the chapter. Also, you must provide evidence and/or examples to reinforce your analysis. Note: There is no make-up if you miss that day. Please check for Opt-Out for Chapter Tests and Make-Up Tests under Class Policies.
Assignment #3
Project 1: Credo for Ethical Communication
Some ethical dilemmas are more easily solved than others, yet all involve making evaluations and judgments about what is morally right and wrong, what is fair and not fair, and what will harm and what will not harm. This project will result in an MLA-formatted paper that uses MLA citations for the Works Cited. Estimated completion time: 40 hours. This project is due on Friday, December 9, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time. You can generally expect that I will provide a grade within a week. Note: This project is weighted as 20 percent of your final grade.
Assignment #4
Project 2: Personality Types & Careers in Communication
Reflecting on your personality type is one way to understand more about yourself. Learning about yourself will help you explore how communication works best for you and can also help you to identify strengths and improve weaknesses in your communication style. This task will be in an MLA-formatted ASL Video via an unlisted YouTube video.
