Application Paper Assignment
Instructions
Course Learning Outcome:
Apply perception-checking as a tool for developing empathy
Requirements:
One of our course objectives is to apply interpersonal communication skills in an actual interaction outside of our class time. I want to make sure that you will have the opportunity to apply perception checking with an individual other than the person involved in your journal/journal synthesis assignment and who is not a member of this class. The interaction may be face-to-face or mediated (using electronic device).
Your paper should:
1. Define perception-checking with a connotative (personal understanding) and a denotative (lecture or Adler textbook) definition. Cite your reference properly immediately after the denotative definition and at the end of your paper.
2. Describe the circumstance in which perception-checking was used (who, what, where, when).
3. Provide an example of how you used perception-checking, employing direct quotation from your interaction.
4. Describe the perceived effect of your use of perception-checking (what happened as a result).
5. Analyze the reason you believe perception-checking resulted in the effect you noticed.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
