COMM 4110H - The Dark Side of Interpersonal Relationships

3 hours

Prerequisites: COMM 2050 with a grade of “C-” or better.
This class explores the dark underbelly of interpersonal communication through discussion of communicative acts that are generally defined as dysfunction or problematic. Theories of communication that help us understand the occurrence of these acts, research, and personal reflection help students integrate new knowledge with past experience. Upon completion of this course, students will be more skilled at evaluating dark side concepts, as well as applying abstract theoretical concepts to everyday life.
