JMC 2033 is a journalism class within the Gaylord College of Mass Communication that focuses on writing for the mass media. To enroll for this specific course, students must pass the prior class, JMC 1013: Intro to Mass Communication, as well as the Language Skills Test. JMC 2033 is a class that teaches students how to write for different aspects of media such as news broadcasting, public relations, print broadcasting, and advertising.
Split up into two different class settings, JMC 2033 is a class comprised of a lecture section and a two-hour lab section. These two settings provide students with a well-rounded opportunity to listen and learn in the lecture, and then apply what they learned during the lab section of the class. Lectures are the primary source of conceptual information, where specific language and writing skills are taught by Professor Kathryn Jenson White to the students.
The lab section is the outlet in which student practices information learned during the lecture, as well as experience hands on learning. Paper writing, blogging, revising, and editing are all activities that are practiced and refined through out the course of the lab.
The specific goals and concepts of JMC 2033 are found within the class syllabus: to improve students writing, understand the specific conventions of writing for mass media/multimedia outlets, understand the core values of different professions, build media literacy, practice various types of media writing, to develop professional skills, and begin to define specific interests.
