Understanding concepts established in class

Our goals in this class have been relatively simple. We have attempted to identify a number of different methods of communication that we use daily. Most of us don't take the time to break these separate means of communication into their central components, including body language, sound recognition, learning styles, and etcetera, in order to recombine them into their functional whole. The tasks were fairly simple; we played a name game in which each member of the class was introduced to all other classmates. We also began communicating through the use of nonverbal gestures in order to decipher a secret code. Our communication exercises have since culminated on an activity meant to confuse our minds. We were told to write messages in alphabetical code, which was simply ingenious since any of the 26 letters of the english alphabet are allowed to substitute for one another. Upon constructing sentences using this code, there were infinite possibilities for each sentences true (hidden) meaning. Words containing three letters or more became increasingly difficult in succession, due to the endless number of possible combinations for letter substitutions.
