Case Study Situation:

You realize that you forgot to submit your part of a major group assignment on time. Your group members were depending on you. It didn't affect the final project, but you are worried that they will give you a poor evaluation, but you really need to do well on this project to pass the course. What should you do to handle this in a professional way?

Please answer all of the following questions about the situation:

1) Whats your communication goal in this situation? (in other words, what do you hope to gain by communicating?)

2) What would you say (word-for-word) and how would you say it (how/where you'd approach the person, including non-verbals) to achieve that goal? Hint: Oftentimes it helps to acknowledge your intention, or mention that you understand the other persons intention/position (if applicable). You must answer this question using DIRECT QUOTES of the exact words you would say and where you'd say it, the body language you'd use--like you are writing a movie script.

3) How do you *expect* or *hope* your message will be received? (how do you predict the receiver of your message will respond?) If the tables were turned, how would you want someone to confront you?

4) Whats at risk if the communication goes wrong? How might it affect the relationship/environment moving forward?

5) Specifically, how does what you learned in the chapter and/or supplements help you with this situation? In your answer, please cite at least one source from the current chapter or module supplements in APA format.
