When sitting in a large lecture class with little discussion, people consciously and unconsciously find many ways to express their attitudes in the environment. Perhaps the most obvious of these are people who use the size of the environment to embrace distractions, unconsciously signaling their lack of concern for the subject of the lecture and perhaps even the idea of being a concerned student in general. These are students who surreptitiously text message with friends, do homework from other classes, or even do the reading for the class itself, using the lecture more as a glorified study hall than a place to focus and learn. Such students often sit at the back of the room to avoid attention. They may put their feet up on the seats to create a wall around themselves. Of course, even focused students will sometimes surround themselves with books and coats on the seats flanking them, to reduce the chance someone will sit near them. Unless a lecture hall is very crowded, it requires additional social confidence to ask someone to move.
The opposite end of the spectrum of focus and attention are the students who sit up at the front of the lecture hall, indicating their...
Their open posture, as well as their smiling face and rapt gaze suggest approval and engagement. On the other hand, some students who disagree with the professor will sit with their arms folded, frowning, and feet planted in front of them. Students who do not understand what is being said may have a quizzical expression on their faces. They may also look around from time to time, to see if they are the only ones who are having difficulty understanding the professor.
It is also possible to spot unconscious and conscious social behavior, even in the silence of the classroom. Students may sit very close to one another, even share a book. Having a very open posture towards the person beside the other individual, looking into his or her eyes every so often, hair flipping, even running one’s finger over the page of a book are all suggestive of wanting greater closeness or intimacy. Some couples may hold hands, but a couple does not necessarily need to communicate through kissing or obvious displays of affection that they are much more than friends.…
In other words, people are more interested in reading the tone, pitch of speaker's voice and pace of the words. This is very common when a group of people are sitting and having a conversation over a specific topic of interest or when discussing a social issue. Therefore, it can be well stated that language or words is not necessarily required when communicating with one another. Nonverbal communication is measured
NIn spite of touch being very significant as a communication means, very little is known on why and when touch takes place and what can be deduced when it takes place in opposite-gender or same-gender interactions. Studies focusing on this topic concerning gender and touch have had a focus on touch occurrences that are observed, those that are reported, the beliefs people hold on touch meanings, the perceptions of observers
The students were animated and worked diligently; at times, it was necessary to tone down the volume of voice. The 45 minutes went by quickly. THOUGHTS This more flexible and nontraditional method of teaching worked in most cases. However, there were times, depending on the students, when someone asked for help and could not find anyone free or asked for help and was helped to quickly and did not truly understand

Educational Situations Name four practices that commonly require written administrative procedures. Memorandums that include school policy changes or important information for the staff are commonly distributed in writing so that the information is accurately conveyed and properly received and documented. Many staff communications to the administration, such as requests for new classroom supplies or for personal leaves of absence, are also communicated in writing.
