Feb 21 Prioritizing questions, using library resources, beginning to interview

A. We have a core list of questions for our interviews. Be sure to prioritize this list now and re-post it. My two questions cannot be at the beginning.
B. 1. Work in the new groups. Find three people you have not worked with. The group must be culturally and gender mixed. Each member create a post "Library Research Assistance" for their own part of the task and all other group elements prepared today. By the end of today, we want to have facilitated research of any topics enabling you to better research about countries and cultures of your interviewees, including reporting of the process and interview content. Remember to cite your sources!

Objective: Select examples from the web-resources found and relate how they can be used and what they can deliver. In case of "Citation Styles" you may want to pick two and introduce them explaining their purpose, and where they are required and expected.

Each member of the group needs to study and prepare one aspect of the topic. Assign who will do what. Post the information on each others blogs: each member will link to each post from other group members that pertain to this task. That means that we could access any member's blog and find there all group elements in the new student post "Library Research Assistance- group #____; topic: ___" .
Start: 17:30
Finish 19:30, then review presentation by all groups

PS You may wonder why we would include "Course Guides" here. The list of courses taught may link to our topic, though, as in the example of CMST 212, where the syllabus offers access to topics and resources not only in interpersonal communication, but also intercultural communication. A topic that might interest you... so check all other courses and see what might connect to Global Communications. I would not suggest looking in Electrical Engineering or Biology. But Mass Communications, Speech, Sociology, Foreign Languages, English, and many others, may contain useful information.
