SP 218 - Interpersonal Communication
This course is designed to develop students effective practices in intra- and interpersonal communication in a variety of face-to-face settings. The goal is to understand oneself, others, and the role of communication in achieving and maintaining satisfying relationships. Knowledge and skill building are used to foster improvement, with special attention to self-concept, listening, emotions, intimacy, and verbal and non-verbal communication. Students learn to manage stress and conflict and to use assertive/supportive rather than aggressive/defensive messages as tools for improving relationships and for conducting more productive incidental relationships. Students are urged to take Listening and Critical Thinking (SP 105) before taking Interpersonal Communication. May be offered through Distance Learning.
