COMS 463 course

The websites were created as part of Communications Studies 463: Advanced Professional and Technical Communication, a class of 27 students. Visit the link to the course website to learn more.

In the course, students learned communication concepts applied to their assignments constructed in Wordpress Blogs and Google Sites.  They filled their blogs and sites with information based on interviews of service-learning participants and by reviewing and publishing past students' service-learning assignments formally donated to us for that purpose.  At the end of the course they gathered the best pieces of their blog and website assignments to construct team websites.
