COMM-G201, Communication Theory
What I learned
This class was entirely discussion based rather than assignment based. In this course I learned about many communication theories. The discussion environment allowed me to not only understand these theories, but also helped with analyzing a communication issue and applying different theories. Overall, this course helped me to create an open mind and to think outside of the box to find creative solutions.
