You need to write a paper, demonstrating that you can apply concepts learned in the course: You need to write a paper, demonstrating that you can apply concepts learned in the course: a) pick a life situation (real or hypothetical), movie/video, song, team, corporation, etc., b) choose concepts from the course, usually three to seven, and apply or appropriate them with the situation, defining and explaining them in your paper through the application, and c) articulate some implications or provide some recommendations in regard to communication in human relationships. The words “apply” and “appropriate” refer to “weaving” your terms into your narrative. Your paper should also have an introduction and conclusion. An overall question for your paper should be as follows: What does all this say about communication in human relationships? Your goal is to demonstrate to me that you can interpret a situation through the concepts/lens of communication in human relationships [this includes a) and b) above] before moving beyond the interpretation to figure out the meanings/consequences for people and relationships a) pick a life situation (real or hypothetical), movie/video, song, team, corporation, etc., b) choose concepts from the course, usually three to seven, and apply or appropriate them with the situation, defining and explaining them in your paper through the application, and c) articulate some implications or provide some recommendations in regard to communication in human relationships.

Sample Format for the Paper Introduction (less than a page) This area must define the problem and/or questions and preview the study Body I. Describe the communication phenomenon/situation (such as the movie you watched — one page) II. Apply/Appropriate the concepts from the course with the communication phenomenon/situation (define and explain terms from the course and talk about those terms in relationship to what is happening in the communication situation — five pages or so). III. Implications and/or Recommendations for Communication in Human Relationships (move beyond the analysis to what it means for human relationships — two pages or so) Conclusion (less than a page) Make sure the problem is solved and/or the questions are answered this should be integrated with the sections above
