Course Description: “Introduction to Communications offers a survey of everyday as well as formal communication principles and contexts. Topics include the history of communication as an academic discipline, communication as identity and relationship construction, nonverbal communication and listening, communication media and technology, and communication in a variety of interpersonal, familial, group, and workplace settings”

My Description: This course teaches you how communications are used in everyday life while also going back and looking at a little bit of the history of communications. It goes very in depth with how we go through life not even realizing when and how we’re communicating. 

Project: The project I am choosing is the “Lone Wolf Project”. This project was a public speech on how you could better yourself academically. You had to go up and present your speech for 5 minutes and then you were done. I think I learned a lot from this project. It was my first ever real speech and I learned how to stay relaxed and calm while having an audience stare at you. I also learned about good public speaking techniques. Always keep good eye contact, do not rush, take deep breaths in between sentences, and make sure you are projecting your words well.
