We will be conducting several simulations throughout the semester. You are expected to participate in at least one during the semester. We will be simulating different media environments, sometimes a newsroom at a newspaper, sometimes a newsroom at a TV station, sometimes an ad agency. The simulations are designed to give you a better understanding of how the different industries function. More specific information about the simulations will come during the semester.
Deadlines are crucial.
You need to hand your work in on time. Late assignments, when not excused, will receive a complete grade deduction for every day late. You will be viewing, discussing, and participating in material that can not be repeated. You will have some of the current events quizzes and simulations without notice. Your papers need to be typed, double-spaced.
