The newsletter will primarily present written content, but may incorporate mixed media elements as suitable for the “digital age.” Every student will produce writing each week and work both individually and collegially toward completing an established number of publishable written articles. This course will also include visiting speakers who practice in the field. Credits: 3

  • CO2069 Communication Media Independent Study

    This independent study is intended for students who wish to go further in media areas that the Communication Department covers but has limited course offerings. Typically this involves experiential learning with regular engagement with an on-campus or local newsroom or radio station. In addition, it is possible for a student to participate in an Independent Study with a placement near his/her home during summer break. It is required that there be an on-sight supervisor that provides tasks and feedback for the student. (It is advised to find a placement that has experience with internships.) This supervisor may or may be the instructor for the Independent Study; however, the instructor must maintain contact with the supervisor and student. In addition, the instructor creates an appropriate syllabus and provides regular assessment including a final grade. Independent Studies must be approved by the department chair with information provided to the Registrar. Areas that a student may engage with include management, promotions, and production as well as technical assistance. The majority of the independent study consists of active participation and fulfilling responsibilities of the assigned supervisor, but may also include maintaining a journal of the experience and a concluding reflective essay. There may be additional academic elements such as assigned readings, research, and presentations. Credits: 3

  • CO3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar

    Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Credits: 3

    Prereq: EN1021  Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 And FY1011  Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or FY1001  Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or FY1101  Lecture Min Credits: 2.00

  • CO3086 The Philosophy of Communication

    Both philosophy and communication are concerned with questions about how we create meaning together in a world that can seem beyond our grasp. Recognizing this overlap between philosophy and communication, this course examines the core questions, concepts, and problems of communication in philosophical terms. When we no longer take communication for granted, we are left with perplexing questions that Western philosophy has explored for over 2500 years (for example, how exactly does one brain transmit an idea to another brain?). Through historical and contemporary/postmodern perspectives, we will study a series of philosophical metaphors, theories, and schools of thought that will help us understand the complexities of human communication. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Credits: 3
