    Description
    This course provides students with the foundational knowledge and practice of speechmaking in a democratic society, while simultaneously emphasizing theory and research about communication in a variety of small group contexts. Additionally, the instruction and assessment centers on the efficacy of communication processes such as problem solving, conflict management, decision making, roles in groups, group development and leadership. This course is intended for students pursuing a Communication Studies degree or any discipline requiring effective communication in group settings. Throughout the course, students are expected to speak their own words, not words written by others. This course includes faculty-supervision and faculty evaluated oral presentations in the presence of others. (Formerly COMMST 140)
