This course is for instructors who have little/no experience in teaching the introductory course in communication theory. It is aimed at helping teachers prepare or reinvigorate their theory class. As the field of communication continues to expand, communication theory has (fast) become an integral part of (communication) curricula across the country. This "Intro" course attracts a demographic that has changed considerably over the years, a demographic necessitating innovative and creative pedagogy and discussions about our field's multi- and interdisciplinarity.
