  This course introduces written and oral communication principles and strategies for professional and academic purposes.

  Students begin by choosing an idea (academic concept) that motivates their work from their own field of study. 

  Students will lead a discussion on their idea in small groups. Based on their idea, students will write a 500-600 word, analysis of an art or design concept .

  As part of the learning process, students analyze presentations to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, as well as practice organizing and presenting information clearly to a non-expert audience. 

  Students work individually, in pairs, and in small groups throughout this course to develop their speaking and writing skills. Moreover, students give and receive constructive feedback on their work and revise it accordingly.
