While working on these assignments, it’s encouraged to think creatively and draw upon insights from the weekly readings. Additionally, you must incorporate details beyond the text, such as personal experiences or external sources. Responses that demonstrate depth and creativity in addressing the questions will earn the full 20 points, while partial or superficial responses will receive 10 points. Failure to engage with the questions or to show effort will result in a score of zero. Each assignment presents unique questions related to the text’s concepts, requiring APA citations to support your arguments. Furthermore, each response must be at least 150 words long. Answer the following questions:

1. How does the consideration of messages, senders, and receivers impact your personal communication experiences?  Provide examples to illustrate the importance of taking these factors into account in communication contexts. 

2.  How does narrowcasting apply to your personal media consumption habits? What is the relevance to strategic planning in a social media and communications context? 

3.  Define computer-mediated communication and elaborate on how it manifests in your day-to-day experiences. After completing the readings, reflect on how your understanding of this concept may have evolved or been reinforced.
