Communication (COMX)

In this course you will learn to merge the basics of effective public speaking with visual technology, allowing you to make effective and professional quality presentations. You will intensively practice speaking in front of an audience. In addition, you will study the standards of professional presentation for different audiences. These skills will not only be useful in larger, formal public speaking settings, but also for small group and interpersonal communications, and for constructing, analyzing and criticizing claims, arguments and rhetorical techniques more generally.

COMX 240 is an on-line course that explores various forms of social media and helps students identify both the positive and negative aspects of using these media. Students will build a plan for developing a useful, safe online footprint.
