A few years back I worked as a laborer for the local 563 laborers’ union. I worked mainly in the cities, installing gas to residential and would work closely with an operator named Dave. Dave was an older man who had worked in the union for a long time. He was a rude man with a drinking problem and would eventually be fired for drinking on the job. But, on this particular day he was not drinking. He was however in one of his moods, in which he would say completely inpatriate and vulgar things. I’d like to give a trigger or maybe vulgarity warning for what he said. As I’m digging a hole that is 4 ft by 4ft by 6 ft deep with a shovel by myself, Dave sits in his backhoe calling me a P*ssy and attacking my manhood, saying I’m lazy and good for nothing because he had plans that night and we had to continue working late that day. I got so angry that I threw the shovel at his backhoe and screamed you dig the damned hole then and walked away. I used challenging as a response to Dave aggressive conflict, and I should have used avoidance or told someone about his behavior. I didn’t because I felt that Dave had been there longer and would look at with favor over me. Overall I’m glad that chapter of my life is over.
Pert 2 Course Project – Final Submissions
For your final course project, you will be submitting two files:
An updated course project paper that reflects improvements made in response to the instructor feedback you received.
A PowerPoint version of your course project.
UPDATE YOUR PAPER
In the previous module, you turned in a rough draft to your instructor of your written paper. Look over the comments your instructor made and make the necessary changes to the paper. Make sure if you need major revisions you take the proper time to complete your paper. It will take less time if you only have a few minor revisions.
DEVELOP A POWERPOINT
The second file you will be turning in is a PowerPoint. At some point in your career, you may need to create a report and then present that information to colleagues — most likely in a PowerPoint Presentation. That is what you will be doing for this part of the project.
Your PowerPoint should include the following types of slides, for a total of 7 or more slides.
Title Slide
A content slide for each communication element
Definition of element
How the element was shown in the movie
Conclusion Slide
References Slide
When you are creating your PowerPoint, keep these things in mind:
Make sure your content is well organized and flows logically.
Use the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint to reduce the amount of text that appears on the slides. (The Speaker Notes will contain the text that guides what you would say while presenting the slides.)
Add pictures to the PowerPoint to demonstrate your creativity and visual communication skills.
Use proper grammar and spelling.
Cite each definition with proper APA citation style.
When developing a PowerPoint slideshow, it’s important to be mindful of how you layout your content. The slides should present key points, arranged logically, without extraneous information contributing to a cluttered look. Using the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint is a great way to include relevant details without overloading the slides.
