Introduction to Communication Studies
Welcome!
You may be wondering, “Why am I required to take a communications course?” Perhaps you are interested in a career that will require you to speak publicly, but that may not be the case!
As a student of communication, you will learn that there is much more to the field than public speaking. In fact, even if your future career won’t require you to speak publicly, you can be sure employers are looking for future employees and leaders who possess strong communication skills.
The Fundamentals of Oral Communication Course is designed to help you establish communication competence in a variety of contexts, like nonverbal communication, perception, and listening, as well as interpersonal, group, intercultural, and mediated communication. Developing these skills is essential to not only your career but to your relationships, your sense of self, your ability to interact with people from other cultures, and more!
As you read through the text, be sure you watch all included videos, as the following assignments and quizzes are developed to assess your understanding and application of all materials.
