Week 1

Hello!

This is my second time taking an online class, I was previously enrolled in COMM 155 with Professor Coopman. I am Business major with a concentration in Human Resource Management. My minor is in Communication Studies. I really have enjoyed all the communication classes I have taken here at San Jose State.

Some of my interest include going to concerts, skateboarding, watching movies, babysitting, and trying new desserts. I am a sucker for anything sweet.
My two nephews mean the world to me. One is four years old and the other one is just a newborn, he is going to be three months this June.

A concept that resonated with me was haptics. Haptics falls under the category of kinesic behavior which involves touches. In my culture, whenever we see a relative, friend, or new acquaintance we usually greet that person with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. This is just a specific way my culture shows respect to another person. I know in other cultures some contact such as a kiss on the cheek may not even be allowed.

I'm looking forward to reading everyone's blog :)

Rock N Roll, you'll be experiencing a somewhat different class this summer than COMM 155, which was much more structured. I'll be interested in your feedback on this new version of my approach to online learning.
