Taught in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, JMC 2033, provides knowledge to students eager to indulge in the writing for mass media. This course allows students to better their writing skills and become successful communicators.
The prerequisite for JMC 2033 is Introduction to Mass Communication (JMC 1013), which analyzes the background information of mass media. Through understanding media’s past, students now begin to understand its future as they progress into JMC 2033, a course requiring both a lecture and a lab building experience for writers in the 21st century.
The lecture 2033-010 is taught under the guidance of Professor Kathryn Jenson White. Students are required to attend two fifty minutes classes per week. In this time, Professor Jenson White discusses the best quality of writing a student must acquire to turn journalism into a profession. Through constant repetition, JMC 2033 focuses on turning excellent writing techniques into a habit through a series of daily quizzes, which are given to improve the comprehension of grammar and editing skills.
The lab portion of JMC 2033 is offered at a variety of times by numerous professors. By attending a two hour class twice a week, students will acquire a great amount of learning in not only journalism, but also advertising, public relations, broadcast journalism, and film or novel writing. As the lab instructor becomes students' editors, spoon-feeding is tossed out the window, paving the way for encouragement and guidance within the classroom and allowing students to think for themselves.
