DESCRIPTION
The course Introduction to communication science is specifically designed for students who have no background in communication science. The course offers students a broad introduction to communication science by introducing a wide variety of theories that can be perceived as 'the classics', and by providing students with an integrative perspective on the field. After completion, students should under-stand the theories, know the research that supports it, see useful applications in society and in their personal lives, and be aware of the theory?s possible flaws and limitations.
