Introduction to College Communication COMM 1161

On Campus

Our Introduction to College Communication course helps you develop the reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills you need for success in college-level courses, in the workplace, and in civic engagement. This college communication course requires you to engage in communication in a way that promotes academic integrity and improves your reading comprehension. Get the skills you need to identify and evaluate types of evidence, respond analytically to arguments using basic critical thinking strategies, and apply standard documentation style. Learn to plan and draft a variety of concise, coherent, and well-organized writing assignments that demonstrate an understanding of audience and purpose and then, with an emphasis on revision, practice the editing skills you need to improve your compositions.
