First Class

I really like the way the course is constructed, the reason being I had just dropped a class due to the fact I felt it was unfair the way it was outlined. The previous proffessor gave little turn-around for in depth research papers and also stated that we were not going to give speeches at all which I thought was the most important part of this class. I really like how the proffessor uses psychology in order to realte to communitcation because it really helps identify why we do the things that we do when speaking. The story that Santo told about the man on the train that lost his wife really touched me because it is true you never know what someone is going through just by looking at them. It really made me take more a look at myself and the role I play when I am communication with someone and making the wrong assumptions at times. I feel this class will definatly change the way I view communication.
