BACKGROUND:
The first section of our text book covers basic concepts of communication. These topics are grouped as a foundation which provides us a framework for additional learning. Your individual project is designed for you to demonstrate your understanding of ONE of these topics - nonverbal communication.
ASSIGNMENT:
One way to demonstrate understanding of a concept is to create an evaluation tool for the concept. In other words, you will be responsible for creating a test, and the answer key, which is designed to demonstrate your understanding of nonverbal communication. As always, remember your purpose. You are attempting to show that you understand and can apply the concepts of the nonverbal chapter.
Requirements
- Create a test consisting of 25 multiple choice and 5 short answer questions.
- Your test multiple choice items should contain language of your own creation and should not come from the textbook. In other words, show your understanding by creating your own work.
- Your test items should include no more than 10 items related to definitions. The remaining items should be application (example) and synthesis (comparison) questions.
- Your multiple choice items should include examples that demonstrate your understanding of the material.
- Your short answer questions should demonstrate your understanding of the material and develop your thoughts.
- Your answer key must be complete, providing answers for both the multiple choice and short answer questions.
