In marco’s english class, marco’s professor asked the class to get into small groups to brainstorm topics for their final papers. after they talked about the papers, they also decided to exchange phone numbers to find time outside of class to study together for the upcoming exam. they texted each other that evening to set up a time to study. what type(s) of communication did marco and his classmates engage in?

Face to face, mediated,  small group.

Explanation:

Marco and his classmates engaged in face to face communication (they personally exchanged phone numbers), mediated (they spoke through the phone as well) and small group (because they were a few members). Those three types of communication occured during Marco's final papers preparation.

Face-to-face interaction: mutual influence of individuals’ direct physical presence. Being in the same place at the same time whilst interacting. In this case, during classes or outside classes.

Mediated communication: communication carried out by the use of communication technology. Through a phone, in this case.

Small group communication: interactions among three or more people who are connected through a common purpose. In this case, preparing the final paper for that class.
