Description
Click on the Session 2 Discussion link and create a new thread to respond to the discussion prompt. After posting your initial response, please comment on classmates’ responses. Respond by making constructive responses or by raising other questions that will promote further discussion and learning by all of us.
It is best practice to post early and continually participate throughout the session. You will be graded not only for your posting, but your participation in this discussion. Your initial post is due by Wednesday at 11:59 P.M. (MST) of the session in which the discussion is assigned. A minimum of two (2) additional response posts are due by Sunday at 11:59 P.M. (MST). These are minimum requirements. Be sure to follow any additional guidelines posted by the instructor for the course in regards to discussions.
Review the rubric available in Due Dates and Grades for specific grading criteria.
Discussion Prompt: Communication
Sometimes effective communication can be the hardest thing we do. Learning to correctly convey what we are thinking takes effort and practice. When topics of conversations may be difficult, employing clear communication can be challenging.
Using specific examples from the readings this week, Scripture, and personal experiences, complete and answer the following:
- List different methods of communication you use when handling difficult conversations.
- What aspects are easy for you, and what aspects are difficult?
- Explain how communication needs may change when trying to bridge the gender gap.
- What are the biggest hurdles you find when relating to the opposite sex?
- Share skills you would like to improve so you can continue to grow in the area of communication.
Respond to any further questions your instructor may have, and respond to at least two of your classmates with specific insight and understanding you have into their experiences. Please also share thoughts and suggestions you have learned that have helped you.
Remember this course is Interpersonal Relationships, and we want to use our discussions to practice and grow what we are learning. Learning how to share helpful suggestions in an encouraging manner is an essential skill we all need.
