Nonverbal Behavior in Interpersonal Relations,7thEdition9Alternative Paper Assignments and ProjectsNonverbal Communication JournalSince one of the main purposes of this course is to improve your understanding of nonverbalcommunication, I am asking you to keep a journal of your weekly nonverbal communication sothat you can think about how (hopefully) you are improving your understanding of nonverbalcommunication. Beginning with Week Two, please write in your journaltwice per week. Foreach journal entry:Describe your nonverbal communication during an interaction you participate in with anotherperson (probably in a paragraph).Tell me whether you view your nonverbal communication as positive or negative and explainwhy you view it that way.If it was positive communication, tell me what you understandyoudid to help make it good;if it was a negative communication, please explain what you understandyoucould have doneto make it better. (Positive or negative are of equal value; your analysis is significant).Lastly, I want you to analyze your interaction using concepts discussed in class and thetextbook.Try to base your analysis on what we are studying that week. Because some of the entries in yourjournal may be private and you may not wish to share them with the whole class, I will be theonly one to read your journal entries. However, if you would like to share a journal entry, youmay do so during class at any time. You may also feel the need to alter people’s names forreasons of anonymity, which is fine with me.Your updated journal will be due on the day of each test prior to the start of the test. If you havekept up with your journal, having your journal ready on test days should be no problem at all.To receive full credit for your journal entry, it should be thoughtful, articulate, thorough, anddemonstrate an understanding of the material in the textbook and a command of the terms anddefinitions you are studying. Entries should be varied in their scope; do not write each entry on asingle nonverbal communication event or focus too narrowly on a single nonverbal;communication concept. Over the course of the semester (or quarter), I should clearly see youintegrating new concepts into your journal explanation and analysis. When directly referring toconcepts from the course textbook or research articles, please make sure that you correctly citethe information using APA Style.The following is the basic format for each journal entry:Journal EntryDate:Time:Explanation of Dyad:Location:

Sample Syllabi10Nonverbal Communication Description:Nonverbal Communication Analysis:Annotated Bibliography with PresentationSubmit an annotated bibliography using APA style with at least 5 to 10 sources and annotationsabout a specific area of nonverbal communication. If you have problems looking for information,I recommend asking a content area research librarian for help in our campus’ Library. Youshould clear your topic with me and start looking for research by the middle of the semester.Your sources should be scholarly in origin, so websites and popular press books and periodicalsare not appropriate. Your sources should come from materials either owned by the library oravailable to the library (e.g., electronic databases, web libraries, etc.). Any aspect of nonverbalcommunication is appropriate, but you should get your topic approved prior to searching forresearch.For guidelines for writing annotated bibliographies, consider the following resources:• http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_annotatedbib.html• http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/specific-types-of-writing/annotated-bibliographyAverage annotations should be approximately ½ of a standard page of written text (singlespaced).You may complete this assignment individually or as a pair. However, for each person added theassignment doubles. For two students, you need 10-20 sources. For three students, you need 15-30 sources. You can have no more than three students in a group.Bibliography PresentationAt the end of the semester, you will present your annotated bibliography through a PowerPointpresentation. Your PowerPoint presentation should follow general norms for PowerPointpresentations and not an electronic version of your annotations.
