V, | Course Justification: |
An understanding of intepersonal communication is basic to the study of human communication. Communication educators have in recent years broadened traditional communication studies to investigate the dynamics of he interpersonal context. They have examined the individual's ability to relate to her/himself and to form relationships with others. The art of relating effectively to others requires three things: (1) a knowledge of principles; (2) the application of those principles in practice; (3) criticism of he effectiveness of the application. This course proposes to meet these three goals. The introductory interpersonal course, Interpersonal Communication, Com 212, offers the student basic concepts of the interpersonal process, and this advanced course provides further understanding and application through a variety of experiences. |
