I have to write a paper on what I learned or thought that I would learn in interpersonal communication. What are some good ideas? I have to write 4-5 pages
If you talked about any theories you agreed with, talk about those.
Overall, I think interpersonal communication class teaches us about how people communicate, why they communicate that way, and how we can respond to people's communication patterns better.

From Gardner's multiple intelligences:
Interpersonal Intelligence
ability to relate and understand others. These learners try to see things from other people's point of view in order to understand how they think and feel. They often have an uncanny ability to sense feelings, intentions and motivations. They are great organizers, although they sometimes resort to manipulation. Generally they try to maintain peace in group settings and encourage co-operation.They use both verbal (e.g. speaking) and non-verbal language (e.g. eye contact, body language) to open communication channels with others.
Their skills include:
seeing things from other perspectives (dual-perspective), listening, using empathy, understanding other people's moods and feelings, counseling, co-operating with groups, noticing people's moods, motivations and intentions, communicating both verbally and non-verbally, building trust, peaceful conflict resolution, establishing positive relations with other people.
