A midterm and final exam will be given. Exam questions will be based on readings, class discussion, and suggestions you include with your talking points assignments. A semester project done in small groups will be required. Groups are to select one EC classification based on the SMCR matrix of possible EC types that is provided. Each group is to develop a detailed descriptive paper or case study detailing how aspects of the strategic environmental communication model are used.
Topics are to be researched at length.
As a class, we will develop a set of standard interview questions for your use. Standardized questions should lend some continuity to the semester projects. These criteria will be equally weighted. Individual contributions to the group's paper and presentation should be clearly indicated. Part of an individual' s semester project grade will be based on how other group members grade their performance.
