Interpersonal Thoughts: March 2013
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 11, 2013. It has been four years since I posted anything to this blog. Part of the reason is that I only teach Interpersonal every other year and I didn't teach it the last iteration. This year's edition is being brought to you courtesy of Franzika Macur. She's an actual communication scholar. I'm more of a rhetorical generalist and media producer masquerading as an interpersonal scholar on occasion. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Interpersonal Thoughts: Could We Watch our Language?
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/11/could-we-watch-our-language.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. Could We Watch our Language? I've been watching a large number of "fail" videos and Vine videos. (6 second videos, mostly humorous). Some of the videos have been funny, really funny. This one has some funny bits:. In an effort to derive humor from incongruity the vulgarities are frequently uttered by toddlers and tots in car seats, children who shouldn't have an idea of the meaning of these words, much less have thought through the connotations of their utterance. I wish we'd d...

Interpersonal Thoughts: Toxic Dissension I
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/10/toxic-dissension-i.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. This has been a rough couple of weeks – from just before fall break to this Friday of Halloween. The temperature of the student body has been running from hot to severely over-heated. There’s been lots of talk about not returning, about the school not being worth the investment, about how bad things are. What we’re seeing, in my opinion, is a bad case of “Group Think,” in which a negative attitude is multiplying among group members. It is natural. Perhaps we should offer t...

Interpersonal Thoughts: I'm Sick
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-sick.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. I'm sick today - again. I have a nasty cold. The worst part is the sneezing. Maybe. Maybe it's the drippie nose. Maybe it's the stuffed up head. In terms of Interpersonal Communication, sickness keeps me from being any sort of communicator. When I am sick I want to be left alone. I don't treat others properly. I tend to forget commitments. In other words,. I HATE BEING SICK! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Merry Christmas Jose Padilla (by the General's Inner Frenchman).

Interpersonal Thoughts: Back to Class?
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-class.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. We're coming back to class after this strange Spring Break. My Interpersonal Relationships have been rather few and shallow this week. I've spent most of the time working on catching up (wasn't entirely successful on that either). I'm looking forward to being back with people and away from my computer screen.

Interpersonal Thoughts: October 2009
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Case presentation for Film studies. Bethany College should develop in the Communication Studies program a web film and video production emphasis. Observation 1 – No other Kansas college has a film and video production program. Sterling has minor video production, primarily radio production. Kansas has a large film production unit – which offers very limited opportunity for the undergraduate. No school has a production emphasis devoted to production for the internet. Equipment ...

Interpersonal Thoughts: Gone - But Certainly Not Forgotten
http://interpersonalthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/03/gone-but-certainly-not-forgotten.html
Saturday, March 21, 2009. Gone - But Certainly Not Forgotten. Gone - But Certainly Not Forgotten. It's the first full day of Spring Break. I haven't seen a student all day. (I haven't graded a paper either, but that's another issue. I also haven't finished Sunday's Sermon - yet another issue.). But just because the students are gone doesn't mean they aren't still making their presence felt. Voice-mail (I haven't checked). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
