Question
1 of 1
Read all of the directions for Part I and Part II carefully before you start your work.
Note: The groups referred to in this course are task groups where group communication roles are played to increase the
effectiveness of the communication in the groups. This is not the same as a group of people who are doing their jobs
and their workplace roles are their job titles. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions about this.
Part I.
Watch the following videoclip from a past episode of the prime time television show “Big Bang Theory.”
The clip shows part of an episode that focuses on a group of people who are group members in a specific group
communication situation. Take notes while you watch the show so that you can notice and recall who played group
communication Task-related Roles, group communication Maintenance Roles, and any group communication Negative
Roles. Your notes in Part I should be integrated into your answers to the assignment questions in Part II.
It is important for your answers to show evidence of your understanding of key concepts in this lesson, based on key
concepts in lesson 4. You do not have to focus on identifying and explaining only good examples of group
communication roles. You can also show evidence of your learning by identifying and explaining group members who
are not doing a good job of playing a specific group communication role.
Note: This assignment is not referring to communication that occurs because of people’s personalities or job skills.
Please refer to Chapter 14.2 in your online textbook for specific group communication roles.
Part II.
Read the following five questions. Write the answers to the questions, review your work, and submit your answers.
Integrate the key concepts and key terms from this lesson into your answers.
The answer to each question should be approximately 6 to 10 sentences in length. You should write your responses in
complete sentences free of spelling and grammatical errors. Please type your answers in a Word document and then
