Introduction to Human Communication Studies with Dr. Wang

This Research Guide has been designed to assist you in doing library research for the paper assigned in your class. It includes links to research tools that will help you find background information; newspaper, magazine and journal articles; and books.

Your assignment is to write an analysis paper about "interpersonal relationship" and how this is enacted in conversation. Use at least five concepts from the textbook and/or from the class discussions in your analysis. This assignment gives you an opportunity to examine various aspects of communication in greater depth.

Requirements:

• Observe a conversation between you and a friend
• Use at least 5 communication concepts to analyze what the conversation does to help/maintain/hurt your relationship
• Use academic sources to back up your “impressions”.
