COMM164

The scientific community is a key source of knowledge. Much of that knowledge remains segregated from the common stock of knowledge held by members of the public. Course examines the socio-cultural communicative factors that enhance and inhibit the communication of science to the public, and the consequences of both effective and ineffective communication.

Open to Communication and Interdisciplinary Studies majors only; Open to all students during the Summer Session, except freshmen.
