Please study the syllabus to familiarize yourself with the objectives we will be covering in this course. What are your expectations of this class? Do you have any preconceived notions when you hear the term "Communication Theory"?
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?
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?
