Details about this class

Welcome to Communication 7!

This will be a very collaborative course, with lots of group work and communication practice. We will be using an Open Educational Resource which you will be able to print at the PCC Library. You do not need to purchase anything for this class. 

This course presents oral communication as a process that involves determination of purpose, selection and adjustment of strategies, comprehension checks, and integration of prior with new knowledge to address the purpose. We will cover listening comprehension, note-taking, and discussion of academic topics at the advanced level. The course includes public speaking, such as prepared speeches on academic topics with written outlines and use of outside sources. We will review English consonants and vowels, word endings, intonation, phrasing, linking, reductions and stress patterns.
