The London Project will be one of the two UNH courses that UNH students participating in the UNH London Program will be required to take. This course will guide students through the research, writing/producing, and presentation of a project that explores one very narrow slice of London. The goal is to allow each student to gain insight and understanding of a subject that intrigues him/her and to present findings in a form that is appropriate for the subject and the talents of the author. Those forms could range from an academic research paper, a piece of creative writing, a multimedia slide show, a video, a podcast, or perhaps a Power Point presentation. By asking students to become fluent in one London issue, this course complements the other UNH course, Introduction to British Culture, which covers a range of British customs, challenges, and cultural elements.

Designed to provide both a theoretical and practical introduction to interpersonal communication and group dynamics, this course explores the unique process, purposes, problems and possibilities of communication. Emphasis is placed on participation and awareness of communication behaviors, both in interpersonal settings and in small groups, as portrayed in the generic roles of member, leader, and process observer. The course challenges students to analyze the complex nature of relationships by applying the concepts of collaboration, cohesiveness, group decision-making, conflict resolution, the function of teams, and the role of facilitation. COM 460 students are guided in developing basic interpersonal, intercultural, and group communication skills that they can apply to personal and professional encounters in everyday life.

In contemporary communication, visual information has become the predominant means to convey messages and information. Students will explore and analyze the different ways images can be used to communicate information, concepts, and narratives, as well as to support persuasive arguments in oral presentations. Students will apply what they have learned to two major projects, each designed to communicate a central message to a defined audience. An introduction to copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons is included.
