Description

The course targets a range of communication skills required of planners in practice and is designed to enhance student expertise in the oral, written, graphic and digital presentation of planning information. Students are introduced to theories of communication as a foundation for their work. The course canvasses issues of professional writing, seminar presentation techniques, effective graphic displays, and communication of information through different media. The course is designed to encourage independent research skills as well as the team-based planning and cooperation necessary for major presentations. The major outcome is a series of multi-faceted student presentations on topics of contemporary planning interest. The course builds on acquired knowledge as the first in a series of three major courses in integrated learning and skills development.
