Dear Jace and Kelli,
I am thrilled to know that you are taking this class in Interpersonal Relationship.

Below is a brief outline for week one. If you have any questions or concerns please call me at (919)732-8888 ext. 4049.
EXPLAIN THE PRINCIPLES AND MISCONCEPTIONS IN EFFECTIVE INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
The first class will be introduced from Kathy Sole’s book Making Connections. Much of our material will come from this text. You can purchase this book from any book store. Many people think if they talk to one another that is communication. On one hand it is communication but not effective communication. Effective Interpersonal communication requires effective listening, empathetic listening, and being able to get your personal feelings out of the way. According to Kathy Sole, in order for you to be an effective communicator you must first learn how to decode and encode effectively. An encoder is a sender of the message that is transmitted to the other person. The sender must encode the message properly so the receiver can fully explain the message. The receiver of the message must then decode message and hopefully decode it properly so the message would be fully understandable (Sole, 2011).
