Document Summary

What will we study in communication 110: survey a number of subjects in the field of communication studies. Identify different levels at which communication takes place, discuss the organization of communication as an academic discipline: look at the work of several influential communication theorists, read about the history of communication, speculate about future trends. In short, we will sample widely from the various ideas, themes, and traditions out of which the discipline of communication is composed: communication 110. Powerpoint presentation; and what to do in order to get your main ideas across in an argument. Communication has different definitions depending on the sort of research you are doing, but as a general statement, we can think of communication as a process by which information is transferred between two or more agents. Models are not 100% correct but they try to capture the spirit of communication. No one model will be complete but that doesn"t mean they are not helpful.
