Overview of class

The second course moves beyond the introduction offered in Communication Studies 101-1 through additional skills training and expanded research and analytic assignments. This section will focus on developing research, analysis, and writing skills through hands-on experience building upon the focus area of Professor Bruce Lambert in the area of communication skills training. We will focus on 5-10 commonly used interpersonal communication skills (e.g., empathic listening, giving criticism, persuasion, difficult conversations, etc.). For each, we will develop a theoretical and conceptual foundation and a set of practical tips. Then we will practice these skills in role plays with professional actors.
