Assignment Team Project: Class and Team Self-Assessment Class Session Your team should choose some communication topic on which you would like to conduct a 75minute class session. Possible topics include business-media relations, negotiation and conflict resolution, appraisal interviewing, handling dificult situations such as firing an employee, corporate crisis communication, intercultural communication, and gender differences in communication styles. Once you have chosen a topic (we will devote some class time to this process on Feb. 25), you should decide how you want to approach it in class. Choose and distribute readings, if appropriate, and devise classroom activities such as role plays, discussion, presentations. cases, or outside visitors. The TAs and I will be available for consultation, but you will be responsible for preparing the class session. After you have conducted the class, your team will write a single memo to me analyzing your team's process in coordinating your class and product (the class itself). In discussing your process, consider how your team decided on the topic and elements of your class. How did you make the decision? How did you divide up the relevant tasks? What changes in your team process would have made this team task easier? In discussing your product, explain your team's goals for the class, then analyze how well the class you conducted achieved those goals. Did your classmates react to your materials and instructions as you expected? Did parts of the class take more or less time than you had allocated? What did you learn from this experience?
