SP 102 - Introduction to Human Communication

(3.00 cr.)

Effective communication is a critical skill affecting most, if not all, areas of our personal and professional lives. In this first-year, Messina course, the principles surrounding human communication are addressed, connecting them to basic processes of speech, language, and hearing. Students invest time and energy exploring the impact of perception, difference, and language on human communication, both inside and out of the classroom. Communication specific to gender, culture, and personal relationships is examined, culminating in an evaluation of ourselves and an exploration of others.
