Q Journal Suggestions You are to keep a journal throughout Units 1-6 of this course. Journal entries should document observations of interpersonal communication interactions throughout each week. You will post a minimum of two journal entries per week. Each entry should provide an analysis of your communication. Each journal entry should answer one of the questions below (you will answer two questions each week). Entries should identify a relationship to a course concept or term and finally summarize how the interaction could be improved. Remember, to document your observations, relate to course concepts and indicate ways to maintain or improve. You should clearly label each entry and post them in one word document or use the text entry feature in Canvas. If you submit two different posts, it may appear that your first post disappeared but your instructor will be able to see each submission. Each entry should be approximately 150-200 words.

There are words that make me feel irritated. Accusatory terms make me feel defensive. These words affect me because of the meanings/feelings that they create when I hear them. For example, the principles of verbal messages is that they; are packaged, meanings are in the person; are connotative and denotative, vary in abstraction, vary in politeness, messages are onymous or anonymous, messages can deceive, messages can confirm and disconfirm and can vary in sensitivity (DeVito, 2016).
