Course Title:
Introduction to Communication Studies
Course Number:
L_AABACIW102
Course Description:
The field of Communication Studies is interdisciplinary, which means that several different scientific approaches and methods are employed together, sometimes supporting and sometimes contradicting each other. As a result, many different theories of human communication have been developed, focusing on the language used in communication messages, communicators' psychological preoccupations, or societal effects of mediated communication. Several theories will be introduced and discussed with a focus on what the theories' advantages and limitations are, and on how the theories can be used to conduct communication research. Explanatory lectures will alternate with seminars, with a focus to both facilitating conceptual understanding and preparing for the exam.
