Course Information

Description

Communication is essential to our everyday lives, yet we often don’t consider the complexity involved in understanding and being understood by others. In this course we will explore how language allows us to exchange ideas and the dynamics of human conversation. Topics covered in the course will include the psychology of verbal and non-verbal communication, how children learn to be conversational partners, leadership and influence, and research on communication disorders.
