Homework: Module Guidelines

Overview

In this homework, you will identify and interpret nonverbal communication cues.

In Module One, you learned about different communication styles and approaches, and you learned how to identify the best way to communicate based on the audience. In your Module Two discussion, you considered one officer's choice of communication style and approach, and weighed in on why you thought his communication style was appropriate or not. In this homework, you will begin to identify and analyze various elements of communication in a given scenario for Project One.

Prompt

Every day we observe nonverbal cues others display. Sometimes those cues are intentional on the part of the individual. Sometimes they are unconscious indicators of their true feelings. As a criminal justice professional, it is important to try and interpret these cues as accurately as possible using all of the information available in a given situation. While these interpretations are just that, our individual interpretations and not a fact, they are an important part of communicating with others.

For this homework, first review the Project One scenario PDF. Then, review the list of nonverbal communication cues below as well as your textbook for nonverbal behaviors and their meanings.
