Interpersonal Communication

Catalog description

What are the different challenges of communicating one-on-one as well as within large groups? What does our non-verbal language — our styles and body language — really express to the outside world? Students will develop an intrapersonal perspective to critically evaluate their interpersonal communications and relationships, as well as the various issues surrounding human interaction. An emphasis will be placed on the functions of human communication, the development of the "self," conversation dynamics and skills, relationship development, conflict management strategies, and other subjects.
