CMS 190 - Nonverbal Communication

An introduction to the fascinating study of nonverbal communication. Researchers tell us that the majority of social meaning is communicated nonverbally. Facial expression, body movement, eye contact and other nonverbal channels significantly affect the creation of meaning among people. In addition, many of these channels are key to understanding cultural variations during communication. Students will explore nonverbal elements in their daily lives and examine ways to reduce miscommunication in a variety of settings.
