As an introductory university-level course that surveys the broad field of communication, it covers traditional approaches and new developments, samples theory and research, and devotes attention to effective communication skills and strategies. As a course that caters for students with little or no prior background in the area, it provides a sound foundation in the general principles of this liberal rhetorical art that will serve as the basis for more advanced and specialised study of human discourse.
