I'm going to pass that statement around at work. Our company bullshitter is flaring up again (he's kind of like herpes) and it will be well received by many.

I just wish they had everything in a format that was easier to print up so it's readable.

No cat has eight tails. One cat has one more tail than no cat. So there exists a cat with nine tails

One of our assignments was to make a speech advocating something controversial, so we got speeches on: chemtrails, fake moon landing, terrorism can be good, children should be spanked, and I did no free will. It was a hilarious week of school for me.

I think interpersonal comm should be a paper writing class. My interpersonal class was so easy, I didn't learn as much as I wanted, but a lot of the info is really good. To be fair, I did take it as an online class, and I learn best in a classroom setting.

Been doing it for 25 years. Yikes.

We do papers for the interpersonal part. Watch a movie and then apply some of the theories. I also have them watch Survivor and they post online--communication analysis of what was happening, what they could do better, what they did well, that kind of stuff.
