Communication Arts I develops the writing and speaking processes that will empower you as students, as professionals in your careers, and as citizens in your communities. The course includes writing four essays that are revised through multiple drafts and carefully edited before submission. At least three oral presentations are made in the course of the semester.

Course Description:
Communication scholars and researchers have increasingly emphasized the importance of four key elements in communication instruction: first-hand experience, addressing real audiences, reflective assessment, and community building within the classroom, the university, and the world. The individual and group assignments in Communication Arts will help you develop responsibility for your own learning and personal integrity in both the classroom and the community. As engaged citizens, your writing and speaking can and should make a difference.
