COM200 WEEK ONE PAPER TRAINING Welcome to your first paper training, COM200 students! A
four fter you're done with the video, please take the Week 1 paper preparation quiz. This assignment will test your knowledge of the basic principles and barriers to of effective or competent communication and the idea of “noise,” as outlined in Bevan and Sole
. You will demonstrate that you understand these principles and how one can overcome the barriers as they arise
various forms of noise that can disrupt message transmission and/or reception
. use them to discuss the principles
You must use and insight cite the
textbook
sources to do well on this assignment. T
o begin, watch the youtube video. T
The he instructions give you some hints about what's expected of you by listing the following principles-- taking responsibility, sharing meaning, acknowledging multiple views, respecting yourself and others, and the importance of practice. These principles are also explained in detail in the week 1 guidance. So take advantage of that training
resource
!
a few of these themes You need to explain
at least th
e two principles you choose, in your own words, drawing on the knowledge you have gained from reading Bevan and Sole
. The best papers will demonstrate how their chosen principles are illustrated in the example of miscommunication that they choose
the animated video
. F
For the second third part of this task, share an example of an exchange where misunderstanding occurred
demonstrate how the principles are followed or not followed in th
e exchange
. P
It can be an instance of miscommunication from your life or a hypothetical exchange. You will later use this as one of
your examples for the final paper, so be sure to choose a situation that allows you to think through some themes covered in this class in this week. It can a text exchange, a phone conversation, an email, or a face-to-face interaction. Just be sure you explain a specific exchange and not a general scenario. rovide specific details and connect your observations to the principles addressed in Bevan and Sole.
Perhaps you could discuss how a text message led to miscommunication because one party was not clear about exactly what they wanted. Here's an example. Amara-- "Pick me up that chocolate I like." Darius-- "Where and what?" Amara-- "The one I always buy." Darius-- "What store and what?" Amara-- "The kind in the gold bag with the blue and red wrapper, Lindt or something." "How can that help me? You know I'm busy." Amara-- "Forget it. You could have figured it out. I buy it all the time." Darius-- "Well, you'll have to buy it again for yourself. You didn't tell me anything." Making links back to the principles, did this couple have shared meaning about the chocolate? Did both parties take responsibility to ensure that they understood each other? What led to miscommunication here? You will be required to explain exactly what the barrier was. Remember, a barrier is something that
stands in the way of message transmission and shared meaning. In the above scenario, is the problem semantic noise, as she's not being clear about what she wants? Did they argue earlier in the day and are still mad about it, leading to some psychological noise? Be sure not to just identify the barrier, but explain
it using Bevan and Sole. Next, you will explain the idea of noise, as outlined in Bevan and Sole, and point
to at least one form of noise you saw in the exchange in the video. Be sure to both explain what noise is and then list details about exactly how the concept was illustrated in the video.
F
inally, you will need to explain how the barrier noise could have been was overcome. Remember, Bevan
and Sole discuss semantic, physical, psychological, and physiological noise. If possible, explain both what the characters did and what they could have done to overcome the noise
you addressed
. For
instance, maybe Amara could have called him instead so that she could better explain what she wanted through giving him more verbal confirming or disconfirming messages, and nonverbal cues, including timbre, pitch, or tempo. Maybe the lack of this information was a barrier to conveying her meaning. If she
called, perhaps her tone of voice, vocalics, would have calmed him, and he wouldn't have been distracted by the psychological noise that was making him frustrated with her. In fact, perhaps missing information about her tone was the barrier. In this scenario we just discussed, it seemed that both people felt disrespected. If they'd used more of what Bevan and Sole called confirming messages, it could have set up a different tone. If they'd spoken to each other on the phone, perhaps they would have asked more questions, as that's more of a cultural tradition for both of them for phone conversations. Then perhaps they could have gotten to the shared meaning of her wanting Lindt Lindor truffles that they sell at the nearby grocery store. When you do your analysis, try to make as many connections to the course themes as possible, like we did with this text exchange. Please note that you will be required to submit a draft of your paper to the writing center by day four. Before submitting your final draft, be sure to use the grading rubric to assure that you've met all of the requirements. If you still have questions about how to approach this, please contact your instructor. Good luck. When you complete the assignment, be sure to go through the grading rubric carefully and ensure you have covered all required elements. Here is the rubric and to retrieve it simply click “grading rubric” in the instructions prompt. Please note that many of the grading rubrics clearly state that you must formal
ly cite Bevan and Sole, with APA citations.
W
hen you have completed the final draft of your paper, assess yourself honestly and make adjustments to
your work based on this self-assessment. Remember, your instructors will be looking for evidence that you a) have done the reading, b)
understand the concepts covered in the reading, and c) can apply your knowledge of the two of the principles listed and noise to an actual communicative
exchange. You will not be able to earn many points if you do not use
, cite, and meaningfully engage with Bevan. Good luck and feel free to reach out to your instructor with additional questions.
