Application Paper Description: Write a paper that analyzes a communication situation using a concept covered in this course. This paper combines theory and practice, and should take the form of an essay. Take any concept/s that we have covered in class this term, and use it to break down a “communication situation” from your real life experience. This can be from work or your personal life. For example if you noticed an instance of miscommunication at work and want to write about what went wrong or right. Try to see if a concept from class helps you understand why the tuition happened as it did.
This can be a good or bad situation from your perspective. Perhaps you witnessed a friend’s emotional break-up with their significant other, or maybe you worked at a restaurant that was struggling to turn a profit until a new owner took over. Describe what happened and how a concept or multiple concepts might show the incident in a more revealing way.
