The forth day class

Although the weather was bad, the street was slippery after snow storm, but we still had to go to class. we had spent 4 hours on our group project, all we are cohesiveness, and we have the same purpose is that we want to try our best to present our film and we want to get the best grade. In the lunch time, we went to cafeteria where located opposite of the 7 train. So far that day, we finished the filming part, but we need to edit it in following weekday. When we went back to class after the lunch, we discussed the relationship, grow overtime and die overtime..... because i have the similar relationship...well, it's enough, that's one of my self-disclosure.
Moreover, we learned Mark Knapp and his approach about relationship, which has different stage. From his lecture, i recalled that i have 4, 5 best friend in my country, we only meet each other 1,2 time since i moved to US. But, we still keep in touch, we never forget each other. I really need to thank that we are living in the age of technology, so i can keep contact with my friend, no matter how far it is.

The fourth day class

The fourth day class, the professor gave us enough time to discuss our group project. Our group is ready to talk about ethos, logos, pathos, which is an useful topice for us to study and review. Everyone who is in our group is hard working. We have different tasks to do, and everyone researched and prepared. Finally, through our discussion we decided to use three speeches in our video. I like our group's memeber, and I believe we will have a good work at the end.
After that, we came back at 2pm, the professor taught us what interpersonal is. Also, I have learn whether a person lies. The professor told us that everyone has a baseline. After class, i recalled my relationship with my family, friends and so on.......

Well it was the 4th day of class and it was very interesting. We had about 4 hours of group project work. My group went to the library and did research on our project for a half the time. Furthermore in class we learned about Interpersonal Communication and how it builds relationships. I learned how relationships either grow overtime or they die overtime. I learned about Mark Knapp and his study of relationships.

the fourth day of communication

Today was very simple, my group and I went to the school library to start working on the group assignment that we were given. So far all is well, my only dilemma is that I'm not so good with filming so I'm going to have to be a learner instead of a teacher.Everything else is going very smooth basically all of us finished our pieces that we are going to say on the video.Probably by next class we will be able to video tape. All the other groups seem to have the ball rolling on there projects too, I can't wait to see the outcome. Other than our project that we spent most of the time on we started talking more about interpersonal communication. He basically started off about people's baselines,and that is how a person normally acts or reacts to something. When that baseline chances something is wrong for example a bad liar, baselines are not visible that person may act totally different than there baseline. A good liar you may not see that he/she is steering away from the baseline because they don't make it noticeable,they are conscious of it. I also learned a little about Mark Knapp a relationship researcher and how relationships develop. First it is self disclosure, then experiment, then intimacy, lastly bonding. This is how relationships either grow,stay stagnate or die.

the fourth day class

Today professor gave us 4 hours to prepare our group project. So my group members went to the computer lab to find out the famous speech about how to show the ethos, pathos, and logos. Our leader gave different task for each one, so that we can just focus on our part. Also we share ideas to each other and everyone is very conscientious. So today we almost finish the reasch part and we plan to make the film next week. I think we can do well in this group project.
After we discuss the group project, professor continue to talk about the interpersonal community. I think it look very easy, but it is also hard to handle. Relationship are built through communication. Relationships fail because people blame each other rather than looking at their beahvior patterns. We can't change people, but we can change behavior. We also talk about the baseline. So we should observe ownbehaviors as well as those of our partners, self-disclose appropriately, give effective feedback.

Reflection on the Fourth Day of Class

After the class, I think about the relationship with my family and friends. Compare four years ago when I lived in China to now, I am fill with a thousand regrets. Some relationships we built for a long time seem starting to die over time. What is the problem with that? Is it the time or the region that we separated?  ... ... I think it is communication that I did not take certain time to connect with them. I have ever thought when my busy schedule slows down, I will call them back to make it up, but the funny part is that I often forgot as I was available; I remembered as I was busy. Now, I think I should treasure up my relationship because each relationship is not easily come by. Accounting to the study of Mark Knapp, building an intimacy relationship people should go through multiple steps to approach it. It took me more than 10 years to share our views and feeling, so I should keep in mind to rebuild my relationship as soon as possible.

Week 4

Today we got to work with our groups until 2 Pm, which was great we got a lot done. We putted our ideas together and then went out and film. My group film a lot of different things, that I wouldn't write about it because I want the class to know, when they see the video. Overall I feel very happy. We did a lot and our group everyone is share ideas and we are working very good as a group. Jinlong was shy to speak, but went he did wow he had excellent ideas. The best thing was that when he spoke and told us what he thought/ plan. His ideas were so good that we did what he said. Steve and Jason are great with the filming, editing and they have wonderful ideas. Raquel is there trying to help us and she is good too. I am leader but I there working hard too like all my other classmates. I am the type of person that likes to work hard and put time and love to what I am doing.

I also had lunch with my group and we had time to meet each other more. We all spoke more and got to know each other more like friends not like classmates. Which I think is great, we never know and maybe in the future we end up working together. I love my group, everyone is great and special. What I most like about my group is that everyone is there willing to help and work hard. They are all hard working students just like me, the best thing is that we are working as a group. We are all doing everything as a group, which is great because we are all giving ideas and doing equal amount of work. As a group making our ideas stronger, we even worked a little during lunch. We really didn't loose any time, I think we used the time very well.

4th Day Class.

IS IT Funny when somebody split on the floor? I don't think so, but others have different feedback. That was my case this morning. I split on the floor at supermarket. When I stepped on my feel, I saw a person who was laughing. That time I wanted to say stupid to him, but I said "Hi." and he stopped laughing.
I Worked in group in the class. We made plan how to interview some people. I enjoyed working with them because we can share our opinions and we respected what my others said. At 2 pm we came to the class. Also, Prop Trapani gave some examples how the relationship works.

4th class

today, i was later cause the snow. and before the regular class started. professor let us to do our goup project.  after 2 PM we came back to the classroom. today, the topic really interested me a lot was the baseline part. we seeing our friends by looking their baseline. and he also said a good liar act like the samething as they baseline are. it made me think alot. when i look at my friends i look at their baseline. and i was asking myself  did i missing anything. after that baseline thing, i feel  uncomfortable because i might missing lots of things before. therefore, from day on, i will try to find what is my baseline in other people's mind. That is the part that interest me alot.

4th Week of Group Work

During the 4th week we got the chance to work on our video projects. I find this extremely helpful as it saves us time from creating meeting schedules which can be very troublesome. During this time I found my group to be very productive, as they are all hard workers who want to get a good grade and are definitely putting the effort for it. I liked the way every member contributed and gave their ideas as this was the grease on our gears and helped us move on fast and efficiently.
