I like this part of the semester, at least the content of the course. Most of this focuses on interpersonal relationships that students can relate to easily. And now we looking at nonverbal communication which I think most of us are facinated with.
Besides some individual problems cropping up there are also group dynamics that are coming to a head. Of course, this is to be expected. Put a small group together in a room, with different abilities and liabilities, some pressure to do well and the mix can become potent. There are both direct and some indirect things I can do, and there are some things that I should let the group figure out. I'm relatively confident that we will weather this.
