For this week, be sure to have completed the following assignments:
- Have completed your communication accommodation theory write-up, to your individual Google Docs. This should be completed before boarding the train that morning, as I will be using the train itself to grade these posts.
- Have completed the readings for face negotiation theory (the assigned readings for this week).
- Get some sleep, so that you can enjoy the trip. =)
