The expectation of this assignment is that it will be 14 pages in length and double-spaced. The first page explains what you hope to learn or gain from the class/ textbook throughout the semester. The next 12 pages are for the 12 chapters our textbook is made of. Within each chapter, you must pull out ONE concept and explain your takeaways, what was learned, and how you plan to apply it to your life—one page per chapter. Finally, the last page is just an overview of what you learned or got out of the class throughout the semester. Each of the 12 pages needs to be titled with the Chapter Number and Title. There is NO need for any research or sources; it is just what is taught throughout the text. The textbook that must be used for this assignment is called LOOKING OUT LOOKING IN, and it was written by Ronald B. Adler. In case you are unable to find the textbook, the 12 chapters are:
Chapter 1: A First Look at Interpersonal Communication
Chapter 2: Interpersonal Communication and Social Media
