    Description
    This course provides students with an understanding of how to enhance communication through exploring the dynamics of interpersonal communication that influence everyday interactions such as nonverbal cues, language, perception, culture, listening, self-concept, emotions, and personal well-being. Students will learn about common problems in relational communication and strategies for effective conflict management. This course will provide students with an understanding of the rhetoric involved in interpersonal communication, the psychological basis, and the social significance of communication, including how communication operates in various situations (friendship, family, intimate, and workplace relationships). Throughout the course, students are expected to speak their own words, not recite words written by others. This course includes faculty-supervised, faculty-evaluated oral presentations in the presence of others (physically or virtually).
