Synopsis

This  unit  presents  an introduction to the theory  and  practice  of
Communication,   with   particular   application   to   academic   and
professional  settings. Students study the processes of  research  and
scholarship,  and  of tailoring communication for specific  audiences.
Students  develop  an understanding of barriers to communication,  and
strategies  which  can  be used to overcome  these  barriers.  At  the
direction of their Faculties students will also undertake study  in  a
selection  of areas such as thinking skills, the dimensions of  verbal
and  nonverbal  communication, and the dynamics of  interpersonal  and
group  communication.  Students also  gain  the  written,  verbal  and
personal  transferable skills essential to their  role  in  a  rapidly
changing  environment. Students enrolling in 90501, Communication  and
Scholarship, may not take 90503, Communication: Key Concepts.
