As ISUComm continues to grow, our goal is an ambitious one. You should encounter more communication in many of your courses, not just your ISUComm Foundation Course. Not only will you be practicing communication more, but you’ll be hearing more about the hows and whys of effective communication. You should encounter much of the same terminology as well. As you take courses in your major, expect to run into some of the communication terms presented in this guide. Even if you don’t, use these terms as a way to analyze the communication situations and perform the communication tasks that you’ll be using in your career. Communication learning never ends. To be a responsible citizen in a democracy like ours requires our best communication skills. Build on what you learn here to contribute to the activities that strengthen our society.
