JMC 2033 is a required course for Journalism majors that must be passed in order to remain in the Journalism College. Students will enroll in a lab and a lecture. The grading for this course is divided 50/50 between the lab instructor and the lecture instructor.
Attendance for this course is mandatory, and it is taken very seriously. Once a student has exceeded four absences, they will automatically fail the course. Also, if a student arrives more than ten minutes late to the lab or lecture, they will be automatically counted absent. Student attendance in this course is taken very seriously, so to make sure that they do not fall behind.
Late work is tolerated for excused absences only. If a student misses a lab and an assignment was due, they will have until the beginning of the next lab period to turn in the assignment with out penalty. The consequence for not handing in late work on time is one letter grade per school day that the assignment is not handed in.
Academic Dishonesty is another issue taken very seriously in JMC 2033. Any type of Academic Dishonesty, whether it be cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, or fraud, can result in failure from the course. Students may also receive disciplinary action from the University with the possibility of expulsion.
Required textbooks for this course are as follows: AP Stylebook, Writing for the Mass Media (Stovall), New Directions in Diversity (Padgett).
This course is designed to teach students how to write in a journalistic sense, and students are encouraged to take it as a fun learning experience!
