Module 3 discussion
Negative Messages
Think of a time when you had to write a negative letter, or
when you received one – but not a letter having legal implications, such as terminating
employment or threatening disciplinary action. Such a letter should not be
discussed in this open forum.
What made the letter effective? What lessened its
effectiveness? To what extent did it achieve the goal of conveying unpleasant
news, while maintaining the recipient’s goodwill? Be sure to mention, and
prioritize, all of the factors relevant to your analysis.
As before, you should support your analysis using the module
sources, identifying each source with an in-text citation. There’s no need to
place the full reference at the bottom of your posting if the reference appears
in the module; otherwise, it’s required.
Your analysis should be complete, concise, and logical. You
should use proper English; avoid slang, jargon, and Webspeak.
Please comment on your classmates’ postings using the
criteria above. Your comments should be concise, logical, positive, and
relevant to the discussion.
Discussion 3 Expectations
Respond to the topic in an informed, rigorous and
professional manner. Your response should demonstrate an application of the
concepts related to negative communication as well as a reflection of your
personal experience.
Discussion General Expectations
In each discussion forum, students are expected to respond
to the topic by providing an informed, rigorous, and professional post. These
should be around 100-150 words. In addition, students are required to respond
at least 3 times to your classmates’ posts in a similarly informed, rigorous
and professional manner.
