COM109 The Power of Language4 credit(s)
This course serves as an anchor for the First Year Experience by welcoming you into the Saint Mary’s University community and providing an opportunity for the development of academic skills in the area of communication. Inquiry into use of language will allow you to develop the academic habits and ways of thinking to take forward into any Interdisciplinary Minor of your choice. This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well-Being by developing academic skills and attitudes necessary to think critically about intellectual flexibility, identity development, community engagement, social responsibility, and the search for meaning. Topics include: identity, transition, university culture, diversity, interpersonal relations, and intellectual and moral development. This course introduces students to an awareness of the role of language in human life, to a consideration of how language has been and is used for both good and for evil, and to the distinctive way that images, as well as word, communicate with us.
