No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1973–74 (before that, 1971–72 used the number for Communications 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The course focuses upon a variety of communication systems including man-man, man-machine and machine-machine systems. Various models of communication systems will be examined paying particular attention to the assumptions and situational factors upon which the models are based. Using a’systems approach such concepts as redundancy, entropy, feedback, openness-closedness, equi-finality, nonsummativity, homeostasis and stability, etc., will be examined.
As printed in the 1972–73 to 1973–74 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
