Communication

This course is split in to two modules pertaining to communications: writing skills and focuses on the regulatory context for interpersonal skills transactions. The goal of the first module is to provide some of the tools that students need to continue improving their own writing. Students will focus on writing skills, including grammar elements and spelling, and will practice editing, organizing, and summarizing scientific documents, as well as becoming familiar with different types of internal and external business communications.
In the second module, the students will enhance their interpersonal communication skills by developing active listening and interviewing skills. Understanding organizational dynamics and conflict strategies will assist students in developing skills in the use of collaborative and problem-solving approaches in negotiation. Problem-solving techniques will also be examined.
