In this course we deal with different aspects of communication - both
in a theoretical and a practical way. It provides an introduction to communication
theory and presents different forms of communications such as presentation
and moderation. Aims of the course are to develop written and oral communication
skills and to establish a better understanding of interpersonal and group
skills.
This course is organised in a seminar and a practical. In the seminar
we choose a more theoretical approach to the issues while in the practical
we want to train your personal skills. Continuous and active participation
is expected.
The course will take place as a block after the semester. The final decision
on date and time will be made by all participants at a a preliminary meeting
on 30.04.02.
