You are a member of a communication team working for the ACT Government that is tasked with changing Canberra’s image as a boring city to visit, study and live in.
The city of Canberra has a long held reputation as a city that is dull and sterile. The ACT Government is currently changing this with slow but steady efforts to turn Canberra into a ‘Cool Little Capital’ through a range of initiatives.
For this assignment, you will take on the role of a member of the communication team promoting and informing publics about the ‘Cool Little Capital’.
You will be placed in one group for Weeks 3 – 6; and then you will join a different group from Weeks 7 – 12 for comparative data.
You will be given weekly scenarios in your tutorials that allow you to apply the concepts in the previous lectures to the ‘Cool Little Capital’ case study.
You will attempt to apply and/or observe the communication skills or concepts you learn about over the semester while working in your groups on the case study. Each skill may not be applicable every week (for example, you may not have any group-think in your group in the week you are provided with information on group-think).
At the end of each tutorial, you will spend a few minutes writing dot points about any observations YOU made regarding YOU in the context of your group. These notes will form the basis of a report on your observations of communication within your group.
Please note: you will not be assessed on your in-class group work. However, your group work will inform your final assignment.
You cannot use names of students in your Report. You can refer to students as X and Y or 1 and 2.
You cannot critique another student in your report. Any information you include must be a constructive and informed observation of your understanding of group communication.
Each claim you make in your Report you must be supported by evidence from your group work and linked to relevant communication theories from your readings. You may also make observations based on a comparison of your first and second groups.
Your Group Communication Reflection Report will:
• Begin with a rich definition and outline of group communication and its role and importance in professional life
• Identify and explain key concepts in group communication that you will apply to your analysis of your own groups in class using reputable sources
• Demonstrate these concepts by drawing on examples of your own group contribution to your group or groups
• Make comparisons in group communication between your first and second groups if this enhances your discussion
• Provide a critical (but constructive) analysis of the effectiveness of the group communication in your group or groups
• Outline your own group communication strengths and areas for improvement based on your analysis
This assignment must be informed by theory. You are required to have at least 6 ACADEMIC REFERENCES for this assignment. You may draw on the available relevant readings but are also encouraged to independently seek strong ACADEMIC (not pop website) sources.
NB Wikipedia is not an appropriate academic source although it can be a useful starting point to help you to find relevant research. Staff at UC library can help you to access relevant material, or you can ask your tutor.
