- SPAN302 Advanced Conversation. Practice of advanced oral communication strategies such as registering complaints, responding to opinions and managing discussion. Specifically we will explore concepts of creativity. What is it? Where do we see it manifested? How do we nurture it in ourselves? Course activities and discussions led by class participants focus on figures in the visual arts, theatre, dance and music that have demonstrated intense creativity. A final project on how creativity operates in participants' own lives is required.
