Session Cycle: Spring Semester Yearly Cycle: Annual Much of what we do in life, we do in groups. Thus, the purpose of this course is to (a) give students a better understanding of the communicative practices that make a small group successful, and (b) provide students with the tools to diagnose and rectify potential obstacles to good group work. We will accomplish these objectives by surveying theory and research in key areas of small group communication including cohesiveness, interpersonal issues, conflict, power, conformity and deviance, social influence, group roles and processes, group structures, leadership, and decision-making skills. In addition, students will have the opportunity to apply such theory and research by interacting. in a small group environment and then analyzing what their group did right and what their group did wrong. The prerequsites for this course is COM203 and sophomore standing. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Division Communication Department Course Attributes: Communication Concentration, Communication Minor, Liberal Arts Elective
