Dialogue in Uncivil Times
Special Extra Credit Opportunity
Overview
The CMM 100 instructional staff is pleased to announce a
special program-wide opportunity for extra credit in
the course, one that focuses on dialogue, a primary component
of the course.
On Friday October 19 from 5:00-6:30 pm in Sears Recital Hall,
two members of the Ohio Congress, Hon. Peggy
Lehner and Hon. Fred Strahorn; two academic experts in
communication, Dr. Mary Stuckey of Penn State
University and Dr. Andrew Ledbetter of Texas Christian
University; and the director of exploratory research
from the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, Ms. Valerie Lemmie
will meet to explore the importance of civil
dialogue in today’s highly polarized political environment.
Former governor of Ohio, Robert Taft, and the chair
of the Communication Department, Dr. Joseph Valenzano will
moderate the conversation.
Our textbook, Principles of Oral Communication, defines
civility as “the genuine and reciprocal expression of
respect for ourselves and other people through our actions and
statements.” Two major themes of CMM 100
are that dialogue with others is a key path to fostering mutual
understanding in the face of different views, and
that successful dialogue is not possible without a foundation of
civil interaction. Participants in dialogue gain
an opportunity to develop a richer, clearer, and more accurate
understanding of each other’s views without
the expectations of holding to their initial positions or reaching
agreement with each other. As such, it can
function as a key process for fostering learning and goodwill.
This event promises a quality exploration of this
theme from diverse vantage points and an opportunity to
consider dialogue as an alternative in navigating the
polarization of today’s world.
Task
To receive extra credit, students will need to complete the
following task. After attending the event, students
must write a short reflection in which they answer the following
questions:
1. What specific views did participants express during the
conversation that impacted your thinking
about dialogue in the face of incivility today? How did those
views affect your thinking?
2. How successfully did the participants foster civility among
themselves? In what behaviors did they
engage that promoted civility? Which behaviors detracted from
it?
3. On what points did participants differ in their views? How
did they express their different views? How
did their expression of these differences among them affect the
quality of dialogue?
4. How well did the participants listen to each other? Describe
a particular moment in the interaction in
which you observed effective listening.
5. What did you learn from this conversation about your own
interactions with others in today’s often
polarized environment? What lessons will you take with you
from the talk into your own
conversations with others?
Your reflection must be no less than 750 words. Students
should type their reflection papers and submit an
electronic copy on Isidore to the “Extra Credit Dialogue
Reflection” Assignment link. Some instructors also
might ask students to submit a hard copy of the reflection in
class.
Extra Credit Bonus
If students complete the reflection assignment, then at their
instructor’s discretion, they will receive a bonus
equaling 2% of the final course grade. This bonus will be
applied at the end of the semester when final grades
are submitted. For students with a high number of absences,
this bonus is effectively an opportunity to
compensate for one absence that has resulted in a penalty to the
grade.

Dialogue in Uncivil Times Special Extra Credit Opportunity .docx

  • 1. Dialogue in Uncivil Times Special Extra Credit Opportunity Overview The CMM 100 instructional staff is pleased to announce a special program-wide opportunity for extra credit in the course, one that focuses on dialogue, a primary component of the course. On Friday October 19 from 5:00-6:30 pm in Sears Recital Hall, two members of the Ohio Congress, Hon. Peggy Lehner and Hon. Fred Strahorn; two academic experts in communication, Dr. Mary Stuckey of Penn State University and Dr. Andrew Ledbetter of Texas Christian University; and the director of exploratory research from the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, Ms. Valerie Lemmie will meet to explore the importance of civil dialogue in today’s highly polarized political environment. Former governor of Ohio, Robert Taft, and the chair of the Communication Department, Dr. Joseph Valenzano will moderate the conversation. Our textbook, Principles of Oral Communication, defines civility as “the genuine and reciprocal expression of respect for ourselves and other people through our actions and statements.” Two major themes of CMM 100 are that dialogue with others is a key path to fostering mutual understanding in the face of different views, and that successful dialogue is not possible without a foundation of civil interaction. Participants in dialogue gain an opportunity to develop a richer, clearer, and more accurate
  • 2. understanding of each other’s views without the expectations of holding to their initial positions or reaching agreement with each other. As such, it can function as a key process for fostering learning and goodwill. This event promises a quality exploration of this theme from diverse vantage points and an opportunity to consider dialogue as an alternative in navigating the polarization of today’s world. Task To receive extra credit, students will need to complete the following task. After attending the event, students must write a short reflection in which they answer the following questions: 1. What specific views did participants express during the conversation that impacted your thinking about dialogue in the face of incivility today? How did those views affect your thinking? 2. How successfully did the participants foster civility among themselves? In what behaviors did they engage that promoted civility? Which behaviors detracted from it? 3. On what points did participants differ in their views? How did they express their different views? How did their expression of these differences among them affect the quality of dialogue? 4. How well did the participants listen to each other? Describe a particular moment in the interaction in which you observed effective listening. 5. What did you learn from this conversation about your own
  • 3. interactions with others in today’s often polarized environment? What lessons will you take with you from the talk into your own conversations with others? Your reflection must be no less than 750 words. Students should type their reflection papers and submit an electronic copy on Isidore to the “Extra Credit Dialogue Reflection” Assignment link. Some instructors also might ask students to submit a hard copy of the reflection in class. Extra Credit Bonus If students complete the reflection assignment, then at their instructor’s discretion, they will receive a bonus equaling 2% of the final course grade. This bonus will be applied at the end of the semester when final grades are submitted. For students with a high number of absences, this bonus is effectively an opportunity to compensate for one absence that has resulted in a penalty to the grade.
