The Deal

How do you tell if someone is lying? How can we make sure our own body language comes across the way we’d like it to? These and other questions are covered in this online course, which looks at the countless non-verbal forms of communication people consciously and unconsciously enact throughout the day. Each of the dozen modules takes around three to four hours to finish, and students have three months to complete the entire course. Progress is assessed by multiple-choice questions and assignments, and a certificate of achievement is issued if a score of over 75% is attained.
