AIR 352Leading People and Effective Communication II

3 credits · Air Force · Penn State

This course will provide students the opportunity to utilize their communication skills as they begin more of a leadership role within an organization. The goal is for students to have a more in-depth understanding of how to effectively lead people and provide them with the tools to use throughout their leadership roles. Additionally, students will enhance their writing and briefing skills. Many of the students will be uncomfortable with public speaking, and this semester is designed to increase exposure to briefing while increasing confidence. The course continues into advanced skills and ethics training that will prepare them for becoming an officer and/or a supervisor. The communication and public speaking requirements of the course are a culmination of five previous semesters of learning communication and speech theories and practical application. Initial communication and speech requirements start in AIR 151 and go through AIR 351 , the immediate prerequisite for AIR 351 . A student cannot enroll into AIR 352 without the successful completion of AIR 151 , AIR 152 , AIR 251 , AIR 252 , and AIR 351 which all establish the initial foundation for communication and speech theory and application.
