I wanted to make a couple notes that I made in class today about the final exam.
Note: If you want to turn a hard copy, it needs to be turned in by Thursday, Dec. 10th!!!! If you send it electronically, it needs to be submitted NO LATER than Thursday, Dec. 17th at 3pm!!!!!!! I will send an email confirming that I received it. I will not accept any late papers, so make sure that you get it in early to be sure that I receive it!!!!!
1. It is a "take-home" exam essay.
2. It should be 3-7 pages in length and 3 is pretty short for what you are expected to do.
3. Make sure that you cite pages from the text with in- text citations. If you are confused or unsure about this, check out OWL Purdue. You can type in APA format in any search engine and go to the OWL for any and all information about APA format. DO NOT FORGET A WORKS CITED PAGE!!!! (Hint: The only text that should be listed is the textbook)
4. Make sure that your analysis is thorough with specific examples and make sure you apply all 8 concepts in your paper!!!
5. This paper is an analysis over the whole semester, not just the final project!!!
The final report should:
1.Identify the Style of leadership (laissez faire, authoritarian, democratic)
2.Include the features of your group (cohesion, size, power structure) be specific.
3.Identify the kinds of group communication and use specific examples (task, procedural, and climate, egocentric)
4.Describe the decision making methods (consensus, compromise, voting etc.)
5.Include cultural influences on decision making (individualism, equality, assertiveness etc.)
6.Identify limitations and strengths of the group (conformity, time) (resources)
7.Identify and analyze the types of conflict you and your group faced and how your group dealt with these situations (constructive, disruptive)
70 points
50- content (did you follow the criteria, were you thorough and specific and use support from the text)
10- organization: APA format (reference page: text) at least 3 pages!!!
10- engagement, details, application

Attention students
I have two very important announcements regarding speeches.
1. Make sure that you are ready on the day you are expected to give your speech!!! I should not have to remind you of this and those of you who are not ready are at the mercy of the class time as far as being able to give your speech at all. I cannot guarantee that late speeches will even be able to be given resulting in a zero for the assignment.
2. We are all adults here. I expect that you will all show eachother and myself respect during your presentations. I do not want any of the following to come up in your speech in any way or else your grade will likely result in a zero for the speech.
- swearing or foul language of any kind
- pictures depicting genitals in the name of science or otherwise
- any reference, inference or suggestion of illegal action on your part or the parts of individuals in the class. I expect any mention of illegal action to be cited and supported by scholarly evidence if necessary to your speech.
- racially or gender based innappropriateness especially in your language
If you have any questions, see me prior to your speech!!!
If you have any materials that are the least bit graphic, please let me know ahead of time and the class must be warned!!!!!!!
Keep in mind...
1. You have the right to a safe classroom environment, You have the responsibility to contribute to the safety of the classroom.
2. You have the right to be heard, You have the responsibility to speak with reason and credibility.
3. You have the right to be respected for your views, You have the responsibility to show respect for others.

Group 4 and 5, Can I have your attention??
Okay, I have amended what I told the 1:30- 2:45 class of com 114. However, the 3:00- 4:15 class should follow along here as it is what we discussed today in class.
On Nov. 24th, I would like group four to answer the following questions pertaining to chapter 10. Type the question and your collective answers with all participants names attached and be prepared to turn them in. Also, I will lead a discussion with the questions and I expect you to discuss your answers in class.
Group 5, the same applies to you concerning chapter 11.
The rest of the class will still post in the discussion forum as if it were a typical learning module. Note: this is still going under the heading of learning module, I am just switching up the format. I want to see how this differs from the other format.
Group 4- Chapter 10 questions:
1. What are some of the potential limitations and strengths of a group and why are they important to recognize?
2. How do constitutive and regulative rules apply to groups? What are examples that you have come to recognize within your own group over the semester?
3. How is power distributed in a group typically? How is this similar or different from your group?
4. What are the four types of group communication? How do they differ? How are they alike?
Group 5- Chapter 11 questions:
1. Which type of task group is your group? why? When might it be another type? (give examples and reasons as to why)
2. What are the positives and negatives of the three leadership styles? Which identifies your group leadership style? why?
3. What is the best method for decision making within your group? why? What is the least effective way to make a decision within your group? why?

Reminders!!
Just wanted to make a few notes about the speeches!
1. Make sure that you dress appropriately: casual dress. Slacks and button up shirts are preferred. Dress as if you were going to an interview for a job in a professional atmosphere.
2. Bring your proposal and completed outline. (two copies of outline- one for you and one for me)
3. You should be able to get all pertinent information on 1-2 notecards if you choose to use them. Anymore is probably too many.
4. Don't forget your powerpoint!! Test it out before class and have a back up plan such as a flashdrive and alternate email address that you send it to.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice... Make sure you are within time. I will cut you off if you go over 6 min.!!!
