CIT 304 — Communicating in the Helping Profession

Communications and Information Technology

3 Credits

This course builds a bridge from students’ general education to the work they do in the “helping professions,” which are in the fields of education and occupational therapy. With the aim of preparing students for both professional life and graduate work, this writing-intensive course introduces disciplinary strategies for investigating provocative issues and for communicating to others about them. In this way, the course offers students time to learn and to practice more advanced skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening; in using appropriate software support in presentations; and in mastering information literacy in fields of human service that students intend to enter as graduates. The course emphasizes fundamental principles of communication with time-on-task and real world, discipline-specific models for communication tasks.
