This document outlines the structure and requirements for a communication skills course. It includes 15 weekly topics that will be covered, including listening, self-disclosure, anger management, assertiveness, conflict resolution, gender differences, and talking with children and teens. Students will complete three in-class presentations in small groups, choosing from topics like family and professional life, to be evaluated for 45 points total. There will also be a midterm exam worth 55 points and final presentations reviewing material from weeks 9 and 13. The goal is to provide drama activities and discussions to help students improve their communication skills.
