There is nothing as practical as a good theory. The expanding field of communication has developed a number of theories that explain, predict, and recreate communication impacts. Some of these theories apply to their specific fields, while others have broader application across communication disciplines. Students in this course examine and apply a variety of communication theories within health, small group, organizational, public speaking, interpersonal, intercultural, traditional, and nontraditional contexts. This class assists students in creating, assessing, and choosing effective communication strategies suitable for a variety of contexts.
