Paper For Above instruction

The discussion assignment for this course requires students to actively participate in the online forum by sharing unique insights on non-verbal communication concepts related to the weekly chapters. This exercise emphasizes linking theoretical concepts to real-world examples, enhancing understanding through practical application. Each student must find or create an original post—such as a photo, short video, brief written piece, or song—that illustrates a specific non-verbal communication concept discussed in the week's readings.

To ensure diversity and originality, no two posts can be identical. Students are expected to analyze their chosen object or media according to the weekly requirements, demonstrating critical understanding of the concept. Additionally, each post should include one key takeaway from the week's assigned article and one from the videos provided, emphasizing the integration of multimedia and reading materials with the theoretical framework. It is essential to cite or reference specific statements, theories, or ideas from the course materials to support analysis.

The activity aims to foster active engagement, critical thinking, and the practical application of non-verbal communication theories. Posting occurs through the Canvas discussion forum, and students should refer to the grading rubric provided to meet the assessment criteria. To maximize learning, students should focus on meaningful connections between course materials and real-world instances of non-verbal communication, promoting a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
