Communication 410: Persuasion -- is a senior level class taken by many Communication Majors and by some other students at Malone University. The class is primarily focused upon learning theories, history and research about the persuasive process.
Students apply their learning within a service - learning project with a Community Partner, an organization like yours, learning about persuasion in the real world.
The objectives of the class are:
1. to develop an awareness of the elements of persuasive processes.
2. to understand current and historical thinking about persuasion.
3. to integrate theories of persuasion with personal experiences of persuasion.
4. to develop criteria for evaluating particular persuasive messages.
5. to initiate strategies for creating successful and ethical persuasive messages.
6. to develop standards for ethical persuasion.
7. to develop a community of learning within our classroom by treating each other with respect and kindness. This includes listening attentively, questioning thoroughly, thinking rigorously, responding carefully, and speaking kindly.
Hopefully these objectives will translate into resources and solutions for you.
