• With the likelihood for perceptual errors so great, it's easy to see how a communicator can leap to the wrong conclusions and make inaccurate assumptions.
• The skill of perception checking provides us with a tool to help us understand others accurately instead of assuming that our first interpretation is correct.

 A complete perception check has three parts:

1. A description of other person's SPECIFIC behavior.
2. Two possible, different interpretations of the behavior.
3. A request for feedback or clarification about how to interpret the behavior.

Scenario

You talked to your Instructor about reconsidering the grade you received on a recent paper. The teacher said that she would reevaluate the paper but she has NOT responded to you during the past three weeks. The most recent posting of the grades still shows the original grade you received for this  assignment. You're wondering if the teacher has forgotten about your paper. You want to talk to the teacher about this.

What would you say to your instructor?

• In your response make sure to use all 3 parts of a complete perception check
• Write it out like a script of what you would SAY (using a complete perception check)
