1. Communication Process Mapping
- Think of a real communication event from the past week (a conversation, text, email). Identify the SENDER and RECEIVER.
- What MESSAGE was sent, and through which CHANNEL?
- Describe any NOISE that may have interfered with the message. Was it physical, psychological, or semantic noise?
- What FEEDBACK did the receiver provide? Did it confirm the message was understood as intended?
- Which communication model (linear, interactional, or transactional) best describes your example — and why?
