CMM 110-A

Official CD: Introduction to Communications offers a survey of everyday as well as formal communication principles and contexts. Topics include the history of communication as an academic discipline, communication as identity and relationship construction, nonverbal communication and listening, communication media and technology, and communication in a variety of interpersonal, familial, group, and workplace settings.

Personal CD: This course was an exploration of communication principles and their role in shaping how we connect with others and interpret the world around us. Beyond theory, we engaged in hands-on projects like writing articles and creating multimedia content that strengthened our connections with the Biddeford community and our own families. Using technical tools such as H5Ns, DaVinci Resolve, and Lumix G5s, we learned to communicate effectively across various platforms and mediums. The class emphasized understanding nonverbal cues, active listening, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships, equipping us to navigate diverse social and professional contexts. Ultimately, this course was about developing the skills to read, understand, and interact meaningfully with the people and communities around us.
