Great Response Equals Great Questions

As I've mentioned in previous posts, my organizational communication analysis class is working with two nonprofits this semester. We are conducting communication audits in both of these organizations, which will hopefully help them better serve the community and help students better understand how to do such analyses. Representatives from both organizations came to my class on Thursday to talk a little bit about themselves, how they came to their organization, what their organization does, and how people communicate in their organization. The class period was supposed to introduce students to the organizations and help with any final focusing the students (in groups of 4 or 5) needed to do. I was incredibly please with what each person shared, and I could not have been happier with the questions that my students had. I had told them that their group needed to have pertinent questions that would help them better understand what they needed to do. The students were great, and their thoughtful questions made me proud.
