- Review the four types of listening styles in the textbook
- Reflect on your own listening style/styles.
- Describe a time at work, at school, or in your personal life when your listening style proved effective, or ineffective. How could you have altered your style for that situation to change the outcome?
- Write a two- to three-page descriptive essay, not counting the title page and the references page, that defines each of the listening styles and addresses the questions above.
- While including cited terms and concepts is important, the bulk of this essay should relate to your own experience.
The four styles are empathic listening, polite listening, critical listening, and active listening
