Welcome!
This guide's purposes are to: help you learn more about intercultural communication while using information, provide resources for doing research in the core classes in the COM 378 course, help you save time and energy, and successfully complete your assignments.
Each discipline or field of study has different values about types of information and procedures for research, so the resources here may be different from those you might have used in other courses in fields like Anthropology or Political Science.
