DESCRIPTION
This course surveys the study of communication including: the classical origins of the discipline; the value and impact of symbols; the role of communication in human behaviour. This course provides students with exposure to basic theories and concepts in the field of communication, and as such is a foundation course for the Communication and Media major. The main thrust of the first half course is historical and theoretical, with more practical applications in the second half. Students should be prepared to examine key concepts in a critical manner. They will also be encouraged to relate theory to real world practice, using practical tasks and their own personal experiences of communication.
