CM-115 Communication Seminar 1 (4 credits)
Communication Seminar I focuses on the separate communication modes of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and information technological literacy as methods of making meaning. As students explore ideas from print and online resources, personal experience, and active learning situations, they recognize the impact on meaning of language elements such as audience, context, focus, purpose, and structure. Individually and in small and large group activities, students expand their understanding of complex topics and critical thinking skills. Students develop an awareness of self-management strategies such as time management, study skills, vocabulary acquisition, and independent research, and learn to employ self assessment and feedback to evaluate their progress in this course and across the curriculum.
Prerequisite(s): Open to AAS students only.
