For this assignment you will craft a micro-essay.* In it, you will consider various interpersonal communication skills that you want your current or future romantic partner to engage in.

Write a 350-500 word micro-essay* in which you discuss each of the behaviors and explain their importance to successful interpersonal communication. Make sure you cite the specific skills (in name and page number from your textbook) and really explore (consider examples) the rationale for the inclusion of this skill.

REMINDER: Adhere to the 350-500 word count. Falling outside of that incurs a penalty.

Please use these three skills:

– effective listener
– emotional intelligence
– be sensitive to non-verbal messages
