Application Assignments are typewritten reports (3-4 pages of text, double spaced) that demonstrate your ability to identify, apply, and critique identified theoretical and/or pragmatic concepts/skills from the class using nomenclature intrinsic to the field of communication studies. The concept for this assignment will be Perception Checking. You must therefore first describe the concept in your own words then apply it, via examples, to your personal life by briefly explaining how you have used Perception Checking in certain interpersonal situations and render a brief report of your findings. This is NOT a research paper and therefore requires no reference/bibliography page; moreover, though it must be typed and grammatically correct, you are to write the assignment as you would a journal entry (e.g., using first person language as opposed to the linguistic neutrality typically espoused by social scientific researchers).

JOURNAL ENTRY; use any examples. I am a freshman in college.
