Description |
Intermediate
Journalism |
Continuation
of News Gathering and Reporting. The course includes writing of feature
stories and more in-depth news stories, such as investigative reporting
and editorial writing. Students are given more time to write and more
feedback from the instructor in developing stories. (Prerequisite: COM
115 or consent of instructor) |
| Editing COM 316 (3 cr.) |
Students
learn that editing is part science, part art and part diplomacy.
Science means mastering language skills - spelling, grammar, punctuation,
usage and style - and using them to ensure that copy is clear, accurate
and consistent. Art means making the writing tight and effective
through word choice and economy. Diplomacy means knowing when to
change copy and when to leave well enough alone. Students learn
how editors play the roles of gatekeeper and quality control agent.
Those not interested in editing as a career will learn valuable skills
to improve their writing. |
| Web
Design I COM 342 (4 cr.) |
A
practical experience in the essentials of web design. An exploration of
the client-producer relationship will be established. Students will be

should also enroll in the Web Design Practicum while taking this course.) |
