Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to outline the main topics of nonverbal communication and students will be acquitanted with common methods. The course will also outline an overview of empirically derived facts about non-verbal means of communication. Research methods will be supplied by specific examples and the students will be encouraged to explore their own point of view in this field. Nonverbal communication will be held in more broadly sense than taking the traditional concept of "body language". All nonverbal cues used in communication (in mediated as well as non-mediated interaction) will be included.
