    Description
    Students will explore theoretical models and research conclusions about communication in groups. Students will participate in small-group discussions applying theory and research in the areas of problem solving, conflict resolution, group roles, leadership styles, interest-based negotiating, group-meeting protocols, organizational communication, and cultural diversity. Students will examine how groups fit into organizational, cultural, and societal structures, as well as how those structures shape the framework for the behavior of the individual and the group. Students will be expected to explain contemporary and historical theories and describe scholarly research in their essays and presentations.
