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 don’t really appreciate that you keep cancelling plans last minute. You tell me you can have plans with me all the way up to the last second and then you tell me you can’t go. I would really appreciate if you could tell me at lease a few hours in advance if you won’t be able to go with me. |

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: I think you should still communicate assertively because you can at least say you were being nice and respectful if that person later tells you it was because of the way you asked. You should still ask in a respectful manner because that is how you will be talking to future bosses or employees. |
