Understanding Human Interaction Through Dramatic Literature

Catalog description

Students will study dramatic literature with a special emphasis on analyzing the interpersonal communication among characters in written texts and engaging in presentations, performances, and role playing. Students will apply their insights to real life situations. They will also present their analyses to an audience and/or perform scenes from plays. The course will enable students to gain important insights into their own patterns of communication and develop effective strategies for presenting information to audiences and engaging in interpersonal communication. Each student is responsible for their own communication in the classroom. This course is open to all RIT students; an interpreter will not be provided.
