Essay: Write a 3-part assertive statement to a friend who keeps making plans with you and then cancelling at the last minute. Student Answer: I've really wanted to finally hang out, but the cancelling last minute is starting to get irritating. Could we please make a schedule for the days you're sure you have free, so neither of us have last minute ordeals that require us to bail out on the other suddenly? |

Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons. Student Answer: You should choose to communicate assertively either way, so that the others are aware of your feelings and opinions on a situation (politely). And so hopefully you'll feel better about expressing how you feel rather than ignore the overall situation and let yourself get stepped on. |
