The goal of this course is to assist you in making the transition from life as a student of communications to life as a communications professional. Over the course of the semester, students will work with other members of the class to 1) interview professionals from a variety of communications fields; 2) assess professionally produced advertisements, brochures, websites, and e-portfolios; 3) master the use of software and hardware used by communications professionals; and 4) complete a series of projects based on professional models. Collaborating with a team, students will design and produce an advertisement, a brochure, and a website for outside clients. At the completion of each project students will submit an assessment evaluating the process, the product, the team, and their own performance. For their final projects, students will design and produce an e-portfolio for prospective employers showcasing their accomplishments in this and other courses.
