SPC-143: Small Group Communication

Course Description

Group Communication examines small group theory and process from a communication perspective with an emphasis on collaborative decision-making, ethical dialogue, and civic engagement. Students explore leadership, goal setting, group roles, conflict management, consensus-building, and the stages of group development as they relate to effective and inclusive participation. The course highlights the role of communication in shaping group outcomes, fostering cohesion, and navigating difference. Through structured group activities, problem-solving exercises, research presentations, and reflective analysis, students practice facilitation, deliberation, and critical thinking in small group contexts. Students actively participate in groups to apply communication theory to real-world collaborative and civic situations.
