215 N. Grand St. This course is designed to give students an introduction to the components of interpersonal communication and then to provide them with basic communication theory needed for upper division courses in the field of speech communication.
Interpersonal communication is central to the study of human communication.
Recognize and describe the situations in which you intend to communicate, choosing skills appropriate to the situation. Develop a wide range of communication skills that reach beyond the ways you already communicate. Evaluate the effectiveness of your communication to determine what, if anything, you might do differently in other similar situations. Therefore, you need to be disciplined enough to set aside time on a weekly basis to work on the course materials. You need not present excuses for your absences.
