Unit II Article Review

Locate an article in the CSU Online Library on the subject of nonverbal communication, and perform an article review. The purpose of an article review is to let other readers know what the work is about so that they may decide whether they want to read the work. Other readers probably have not read the article, so the review should not only describe the work but also evaluate it.

Include each of the following within your article review:

• An introduction to the article
• The key points from the article
• A summary of the article’s conclusion
• An evaluation of the article including:
  • Why is this article important? o Should others read it? o Was the article well written (organized, easy to understand, etc.)?
  • What is your perspective and opinion on the article?

Your completed article review should follow APA style and be a minimum of three full pages in length (not including the title and references pages).

Unit V Reflection Paper

For this activity, you are asked to prepare a reflection paper. Reflect on the concepts you have learned during your readings. What do you understand completely? What did not quite make sense? The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on the material you have read and to expand on it. If you are unclear about a concept, either review it in the textbook or ask your professor. Can you apply what you have learned to your career? How?

This is not a summary. A reflection paper is an opportunity for you to express your thoughts about the material you are studying by writing about it. Reflection writing is a great way to study because it gives you a chance to process what you have learned and increases your ability to remember it.

Use these guidelines as you reflect on the course material:

• What are your thoughts about the main topics?
• Why are these topics or concepts important?
• How do they apply to your career or future career?
• Can you apply them to your personal life? How?

Review the textbook reading on applying the skill of reading body language. Prepare a three-page reflection paper on occasions in your life that having the ability to read body language could have improved your ability to communicate.
