Introduction: prof. benjamin woo, email via culearn, office hours: rb 4219 tues. and fri. , 1:00-2:30pm. What separates us from animals, we cannot communicate with animas in a reliable. We express emotions through body language communication, no words needed. Clothing has messages on them (logos, choose what clothes based on what message you want to communicate to the world) Being silent is also a way of communicating (person not replying to text when you know they read it, what are they saying?) Instinct for communication is essential, rely on relationships with other people. Communication is hard/challenging, always a gap between my mind vs. yours, this moment, past and future etc How we talk about how we talk . Metadiscourse: reflexive communication about communication (monitor and correct communication with others, do you understand ) Communication theory: how are large groups of people communicating, how can we do it better, larger scale than metadiscourse.
