Descriptions:
This course is designed to introduce students to Communication Studies as an academic
discipline by facilitating understanding of the basic concepts, vocabulary, theories,
and processes relevant to the study of communication. An equally important goal of
this course is the development of non-written (i.e., oral) communication skills through
an introduction to public speaking. This course includes in-class group and individual
speaking activities covering a variety of human communication techniques, formats,
and contexts. This class will examine the critical role communication plays in our
everyday lives.
