The course has provided you with a grounding in key aspects of Communication Theories and their functions and are concerned with the systematic description and explanation of a particular phenomenon.

Throughout the semester, we discussed how theories help us to make sense of the world around us. Some theories are “grand” (think ideologies), while others are more narrow (consider particular economic or scientific theories –like the theory of relativity).

But regardless of their scope, all theories shape how we make judgments about reality, relationships, circumstances, and decisions in our lives. More importantly, this course exposed you to theories of communication, both large and small, with the intention of better equipping you to make sense of the communicative aspects of your world. The overarching goal of this course was to think about and analyze communication in a systematic way (i.e., in a logical way!).
