Below are some ideas to get you thinking about this term paper. If you wish to pursue your own ideas, be sure to consult with me prior to starting your work.

Paper Option #1 - Self and Others: Select two readings from the chapters and articles we’ve explored and examine how the insights you gain from these readings can be applied to understanding yourself as an interpersonal communicator.

Part One: Explain the communication concepts developed in the readings and discussions;

Part Two: Describe and assess how the insights from these readings apply to you as an interpersonal communicator; and

Part Three: Analyze your close personal and voluntary relationship with another and consider how the key insights can be applied to the way that you relate interpersonally. Use concrete examples from one or more of your personal relationships to describe how you relate and evaluate the effectiveness of your relationship. Make sure you are focusing on the relationship and its dynamics instead of on individual communication behaviours.
