Assignments
Interview Report (3 pages)
Do an interview on any topic relevant to interpersonal communication. Develop your
interview strategies by researching the topic using both the textbook and at least 5
additional resources. Report on your interview plan and process. The goal is to develop
your own strategies of questioning and listening and to learn about interpersonal
communication strategies or assumptions in use. There are several interview exercises in the
textbook – feel free to modify any of these or design your own interview topic.
Interplay Chapter Exercises (1-2 pages)
Read the assigned chapter and choose one of the two options listed on the syllabus. The
goal is to give careful attention to the reading and to reflect on your own practices in light
of the concepts you are learning.
Research project and presentation
As part of a small group, develop a project inspired by our readings about interpersonal
communication and aimed at improving the communication habits/skills/ideas of a specified
group. Prepare a 4-page report and a 25-minute presentation on a topic we have discussed
– friendship or conflict, for example – or one that is not addressed in our texts – for
example, the impact of YouTube on impression management expectations. The project
must involve research updating our knowledge of the topic – a minimum of 5 scholarly
sources and 3 popular sources that you must connect to the concepts from the Interplay
text. The goal is to learn more about a topic of interest and to think carefully about how to
make the ideas you learn useful to a particular audience.
