Description

This course teaches and uses the study of intrapersonal and interpersonal communication skills to research and present family stories: yours and others. Using Fisher's argument that we are a "story people", we will find and use family stories to analyze and justify personal values and ethics, and in doing so, develop a physical, social and mental plan of personal well-being. Students will create a presentation of the combined themes and narratives that are discovered from their stories.
