HD 341 - Communication for Empowerment

3 Unit(s)
This class will empower students to make connections with other people. Four areas of communication will be addressed: active listening for meaning; fluent, concise and organized writing; active, appropriate, and engaging group facilitation and leadership; and articulate, organized verbal communication and presentation of self. In addition, students will develop and strengthen their ability to think critically, integrating the subjective and objective, in all the areas of communication. They will examine the impact of their values and biases on communication across cultural, racial, class and gender lines.
