Effective Writing and Communication
One cannot not communicate.

Effective Communication
Skills
is a hands-on, practical class that will help students develop their writing,
reading, presentation and critical/creative thinking skills. In this
course, we will study concepts and theories relevant to literature search skills
and how to use information technology, write papers using APA style, create
power point presentations and deliver compelling oral reports. In addition to preparing for their final
projects to be completed in May, students will create a class portfolio which
will include a personal statement, resume, and final project plan.
I believe
that true learning only occurs when everyone is involved and interested in the
material presented. Our class will
consist of a combination of lectures, discussions, group activities, projects,
and presentations. Through constructive
feedback, we will all have the opportunity to teach and help each other. I encourage you to use this course to explore
and broaden your world view. Please,
challenge yourself and explore issues that matter to you. Winter 2012 Schedule Sample Results & Discussion Sections from last year's seniors -Sample 1 -Sample 2
