COMM 501 - Life-Span Communication

Institution:

University of Arizona

Subject:

Description:

Description: This is an advanced course aimed at providing a broad overview of the ways in which communication affects, and is affected by, the aging process from birth to death. We will read research articles relating to life-span communication. During the course I wish to convey as much about research methods and how to read technical prose as much as communication and the life-span. The exams will test students understanding of the articles (in terms of their methodological and statistical content and their information about life-span communication) as well as lecture material. In class we will be discussing the articles, clarifying problems etc. Graduate-level requirements include additional in-depth papers, research, readings, exams, etc. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: GERO 501. May be convened with: COMM 401. Usually offered: Fall, Spring.
