Details about this class
Welcome to Level 6 Communication!
The theme of our class is academic communication. That means that we will talk about the world around us and how it connects to our own lives. We will practice listening, speaking, and presentation skills that help us to communicate both at school and at work. Our goal is to understand and be understood most of the time.
You do not need to buy a textbook; all materials will be provided for you in class.
We will have a fun time talking about interesting things. If you have questions, please ask me: timothy.krause@pcc.edu
I hope to study with you this term!
