Oh My! You're Too Close!

Week #4- February 6th, 2014: Attended

I really enjoyed this weeks' guest speaker Dr. Hill. His lecture on personal space, how it is interpreted by different cultures, and how it effects certain situations was not only informative, but also captivating. The videos displayed at the start of class were a creative way to introduce the subject of his lecture. The section over the different hand signals that one shouldn't use was very interesting. By having studied abroad in Italy in spring 2013, I knew about a few of those, but others were new to my knowledge. I feel that this would make a great lecture for an interpersonal communication class also. Some of the concepts learned today would be fun to use to manipulate others in an evil genius type of way. I also meet up with my team for the first time this week. It seems like everyone is quite nice. Being a communication major and creative studies minor, I've had the chance to focus on the study of group dynamics, so I am looking forward to see what role each person on our team will play. 

O.L.M. Reflection

I think that I would have to hire someone to patent an idea for me because they seem like a lot of work to do and very expensive.
