  3. COM 310 Week 1 DQ 1 • Please study the syllabus to familiarize yourself with the objectives we will be covering in this course. What are yourexpectations of this class? Do you have any preconceived notions when you hear the term "Communication Theory"?

  4. COM 310 Week 1 DQ 2 • Your text discusses the concept of individual "fields of experience". How does a person's field of experience influence a communication event? Can you think of a communication experience or relationship you have had that was significantly influenced by differing fields of experience? (Remember, this doesn't necessarily refer to a "field of experience" as in work experience!)

  5. COM 310 Week 1 DQ 3 • (I realize this is the last day of Week 1, but I wanted to post this anyway, just to highlight another theory from the Week 1 reading. It is perfectly fine for this discussion to carry into the first few days of Week 2.)Chapter 8 of your text discusses the Expectancy Violations Theory. One major premise of this theory is that people have expectations about the behaviors (both verbal and nonverbal) of others. Can you provide an example from your own life that relates to the Expectancy Violations Theory? Does understanding this theory help you make sense of that communication situation?

  6. COM 310 Week 1 Individual Assignment Communication Introduction Worksheet • Complete the University of Phoenix Material “Communication Introduction Worksheet” located in Week One of the COM310 ecampus page. Instructions and details of the assignment are included.

  7. COM 310 Week 2 DQ 1 • Chapter 9 of your text discusses the Uncertainty Reduction Theory which is the only communication theory devoted to initial interactions. There are seven axioms of URT. Please choose one axiom and discuss how you have experienced this axiom of URT in a past communication exchange. Do you think your knowledge of the URT will influence your future initial interactions?

  8. COM 310 Week 2 DQ 2 • Chapter 10 of your text discusses the Social Penetration Theory which involves self-disclosure. What are the consequences of poorly planned or inappropriate self-disclosure? Can you think of examples from your own life where self-disclosure caused a problem? Conversely, what are the benefits of self-disclosure?

  9. COM 310 Week 2 DQ 3 • Chapter 13 of your text discusses the Communication Privacy Management Theory, which is a practical theory designed to explain the everyday issue of whether or not to tell someone something. Many of our interactions (personal, school, work) in today's world occur in an online environment. How does the Communication Privacy Management Theory apply to online relationships? Is there more or less disclosure in online relationships?

  10. COM 310 Week 2 DQ 4 • Chapter 11 of your text discusses the Social Exchange Theory which is based on the notion that people review and weigh their relationships in terms of costs and rewards. Does applying this theory to your current or past relationships help you understand those relationships? (These can be personal relationships or work-related relationships.) Explain your answer.

  12. COM 310 Week 3 DQ 1 • Chapter 14 of your text discusses the concept of Groupthink. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with having a high level of cohesiveness among members of a group. Have you ever been in a group where Groupthink was an issue? If so, what could have been done to avoid Groupthink? If not, what has been done that has allowed you to avoid Groupthink in a group situation?

  13. COM 310 Week 3 DQ 2 • Chapter 15 of your text discusses the Adaptive Structuration Theory. This theory has three main components: Agency and reflexivity, duality of structure, and social integration. Please choose one of these elements of the Adaptive Structuration Theory and discuss your experiences with that element. Do you think the Adaptive Structuration Theory is useful in providing an understanding of how structures that are created in groups influence communication and decisions?

  14. COM 310 Week 3 DQ 3 • Chapter 17 discusses the Organizational Information Theory and the associated concept of "equivocality". Recall an organization in which you were or are a member (workplace, sports team, volunteer organization, community group, etc.). Can you remember an incident when you or the organization received ambiguous information? If so, what "rules" did you or the organization use in dealing with this equivocality?

  15. COM 310 Week 3 DQ 4 • Chapter 16 of your text discusses the Organizational Culture Theory. In the introduction to the chapter there is a story about Fran Callahan and her job with Jewelry Plus. How do you think employees like Fran Callahan can successfully ease into a new organizational culture? Based on the information you read about the Organizational Culture Theory, what advice would you give Fran as she begins her "new" job with Jewelry Plus? Have you ever been in a position like the one Fran finds herself in now? (And I don't mean as a jewelry salesperson!) Please use the information that describes the Organizational Culture Theory to help strengthen your example.

  16. COM 310 Week 3 Individual Assignment Assessing Your Organization’s Values • Write a 900- to 1,200-word paper in which you analyze the values of the organization for which you work.

Please be detailed and describe all the action steps needed to complete the project with assignment of team members for each action item as well as some deadlines.

(Try to reference your text here to strengthen your opinion.)

  20. COM 310 Week 4 DQ 3 • Chapter 24 of your text discusses the Spiral of Silence Theory (SST) which rests on public opinion. One of the assertions of the SST is that people "seek out the media to confirm or disconfirm their observations and then interpret their own observations through the media" (p.414). Considering that the Internet has become a powerful media outlet, what kind of influence do you think the Internet has on public opinion?

  25.
