Social scientific theory in human communication. Logic of scientific communication theories in interpersonal, small group, organizational, intercultural, and mediated communication.
Class Description:
COMM 3401 is an introduction to theory in communication studies. There are small sections of 3401, but students take 3401 as a large lecture course (120-180 students). In its large format, 3401 is lecture-based. 3401 covers scientific theories that focus on interpersonal communication. The communication theories we will discuss throughout the semester involve complex ideas that you have to explain, apply, critique and integrate in 3401 assignments and in future communication courses. What makes this course challenging is that it moves at a rapid pace: We will cover one theory per class session. You will learn some of the basic concepts from each theory by doing the reading; lecture will include extension and further exploration of theoretical ideas.

Social scientific theory in human communication. Logic of scientific communication theories in interpersonal, small group, organizational, intercultural, and mediated communication.
Class Description:
COMM 3401 is an introduction to theory in communication studies. There are small sections of 3401, but students take 3401 as a large lecture course (120-180 students). In its large format, 3401 is lecture-based. 3401 covers scientific theories that focus on interpersonal communication. The communication theories we will discuss throughout the semester involve complex ideas that you have to explain, apply, critique and integrate in 3401 assignments and in future communication courses. What makes this course challenging is that it moves at a rapid pace: We will cover one theory per class session. You will learn some of the basic concepts from each theory by doing the reading; lecture will include extension and further exploration of theoretical ideas.
