Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Introduction: Communication Change Challenge (CCC) Part 8 Part 8 is where you will evaluate the impact of the project as it relates to interpersonal communication and the course objectives (COs). It is important here that you clearly demonstrate your understanding of many of the course concepts through application to your course project.
Instructions Remember that your patterns for communicating interpersonally have been developed over many years. Therefore, you should be neither surprised nor discouraged to find that changing your interpersonal communication behavior takes time. In order for you to take this project to its fullest potential, you may need to continue to modify, implement, and reinforce these new behaviors for far longer than the duration of the project. It is possible, however, to modify the way you communicate, and because the payoff is improvement to our communication and relationship outcomes, changing interpersonal communication is worth the effort. You have now implemented your target behaviors for about two weeks, write a final evaluation addressing the following:
8A. Topic Selection Reflection What was the course material that suggests that this particular communication behavior was an appropriate target for change?
8B. Implementation Analysis: Satisfaction Consider the implementation of your new behaviors in Part 7, and address the following:
8C. Implementation Analysis: Dissatisfaction Consider the implementation of your new behaviors in Part 7, and address the following:
