In a post below, respond to the following prompt, which assesses Student Learning Outcomes 1 and 2 and Module Learning Objectives 1,2, and 3. Then, you must respond to two of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses. You are not required to post more than once, but feel free to respond to other posts and engage with your classmates.
Your [first] post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your response to another student is due on
[day of week] by [time] CST.
Your response should be at least two paragraphs long. This includes responses to other student's posts. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.
Prompt
Identify an intercultural interpersonal encounter in which you did not communicate as competently as you would have liked. Describe how understanding intercultural communication and the six dialectics of intercultural communication would have helped you in this situation.
This prompt is assessing [learning objective #1,#2 (SLO #1)]
Respond
After submitting your response to the prompt, respond to at least two other classmates by discussing how intercultural communication affects interpersonal relationships described in the initial responses.
This response is assessing [learning objective #3 (SLO #2)]
Details:
A forum for
discussion promotes peer-to-peer and student-instructor
interaction. Questions should be thought provoking and encourage detailed analysis of module topics. Include a rubric.
If
you do not want students to see other responses before they post, set
type to "Q and A forum." For this type, you must create a post first for students to
respond.
Subscription: Set to Auto.
Due dates: You cannot set due dates for forums, so be sure
to tell students when to post above. These dates will not appear on the Moodle calendar.
Ratings: will place the forum in the gradebook. You can set a maximum grade. Restricting ratings to a date range only affects when you can grade, and not when the activity is available to students.
Activity completion: You can select completion criteria and an expected completed date.
