Teaching Philosophy
The teaching style will be cordial, professional, and collegial. Students are expected to
engage in seminar style dialogue for most of our sessions. Collaboration and individual
work will co-exist in an environment of discovery and intellectual discourse as it relates
to communication and media technologies locally and internationally. In addition,
students will be expected to demonstrate the ability to discuss, facilitate, and document
critical assessments of researched material according to existing publication standards.
Teaching Methods
The course integrates, but is not limited to, lectures, discussions, assigned readings, and
individual presentations. Students are expected to enhance class discussion and
participation with audio-visuals, text assignments, library and Internet research, and peer
evaluations. Online work will also form part of the teaching approach of this course.
Grading: Papers will be evaluated according to the extent to which they reflect thorough
research, clarity of thought, and adherence to the principles of effective writing. Papers
should be prepared according to the guidelines of the APA Manual. Points will be
deducted from papers that are not formatted according to the APA standards.
3 of 6
Presentations will be graded based on your ability to correctly summarize and clearly
explain the article, as well as on basic principles of public speaking. Presentations should
be 15 minutes in length.
Responses: Each week you should write brief (150-250 words) responses to two of your
classmates’ comments which are submitted to the Discussion Board in Blackboard.
Responses to all the papers are due two days after the paper’s submission deadline. Late
responses will not be accepted.
Final Project:
Conduct a content analysis of 3 major communication media technologies. Gather the
data and analyze what distinguishes each from the other. You should write your paper to
include a theoretical background, a review of literature on the area of study, your
methodology, which should include how you coded the data, how you arrived at the
categories for each data. You should include some graphical representation to account for
the cumulative values of the categories. The methodology should also include over what
period of time the data was gathered and how the sample was selected. You should have
an analysis, and conclusions you have drawn from the result of your enquiry. Such a
paper would not be less than 12 pages or more than 15 pages, and should conform to
APA style.
Students will present a summary of their final paper to the class in a formal public
presentation. Students should prepare 5- 7 minutes in a public speech that highlights the
most important aspects of the paper, and the researcher’s most important findings.
Students should also be prepared to answer questions about their research. Minimum and
maximum time limits will be enforced.
Grading: Presentations will be evaluated according to the extent to which they adhere to
the principles of effective public speaking (e.g., eye contact with the audience, substance/
relevance of content presented, supporting material, and engaging the audience).
In addition, students are expected to attend classes regularly, and to participate in the
class discussions. Students should come to class having read the material assigned
for that day, and should be prepared to discuss it. It is the student’s responsibility to
keep up to date on assignments and readings.

Lynn University Academic Honesty Policy
Integrity and honesty are essential to Lynn University’s mission and community
standards. As an academic community, honor, integrity and truthfulness are
essential to the pursuit of knowledge and to establishment of mutual respect and
trust among faculty, staff and students. Personal and professional integrity are also
essential to our mission to educate students to become responsible and ethical
citizens within a global community. Violations of the academic honesty policy
undermine the fundamental values and standards of our community, and therefore,
faculty, staff and students must accept their responsibility to uphold and abide by
the highest standards of integrity and honesty.
Definitions
Violations of the Academic Honesty Policy include, but are not limited to the
following:
1. Cheating: Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials,
information, or study aids in any academic exercise. Infringing on the academic
rights of others, such as defacement or theft of library material.
5 of 6
2. Fabrication: The intentional and unauthorized invention or falsification of any
information or citation in an academic exercise.
3. Plagiarism: Intentionally or unintentionally representing the words or ideas of
another as one’s own in any academic exercise.
4. Facilitation: Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to
commit an act of academic dishonesty, including unauthorized collaboration on
academic assignments.
Americans with Disabilities Act
If you require special accommodations under ADA, please let me know. I will make every
effort to meet them within the course. Since my ability to make such provisions depends on
knowing what these needs are, I encourage students with special needs to meet with me to
discuss how we might best work together.
NOTE: Students are particularly encouraged to form and participate in informal study groups for
the purpose of reviewing and discussing course materials.

In addition, students will be expected to demonstrate the ability to discuss, facilitate, and document critical assessments of researched material according to existing publication standards. Teaching Methods The course integrates, but is not limited to, lectures, discussions, assigned readings, and individual presentations. Students are expected to enhance class discussion and participation with audio-visuals, text assignments, library and Internet research, and peer evaluations. Online work will also form part of the teaching approach of this course. Grading: Papers will be evaluated according to the extent to which they reflect thorough research, clarity of thought, and adherence to the principles of effective writing. Papers should be prepared according to the guidelines of the APA Manual. Points will be deducted from papers that are not formatted according to the APA standards. 3 of 6
  • 4. Presentations will be graded based on your ability to correctly summarize and clearly explain the article, as well as on basic principles of public speaking. Presentations should be 15 minutes in length. Responses: Each week you should write brief (150-250 words) responses to two of your classmates’ comments which are submitted to the Discussion Board in Blackboard. Responses to all the papers are due two days after the paper’s submission deadline. Late responses will not be accepted. Final Project: Conduct a content analysis of 3 major communication media technologies. Gather the data and analyze what distinguishes each from the other. You should write your paper to include a theoretical background, a review of literature on the area of study, your methodology, which should include how you coded the data, how you arrived at the categories for each data. You should include some graphical representation to account for the cumulative values of the categories. The methodology should also include over what period of time the data was gathered and how the sample was selected. You should have an analysis, and conclusions you have drawn from the result of your enquiry. Such a paper would not be less than 12 pages or more than 15 pages, and should conform to APA style. Students will present a summary of their final paper to the class in a formal public presentation. Students should prepare 5- 7 minutes in a public speech that highlights the most important aspects of the paper, and the researcher’s most important findings. Students should also be prepared to answer questions about their research. Minimum and maximum time limits will be enforced. Grading: Presentations will be evaluated according to the extent to which they adhere to the principles of effective public speaking (e.g., eye contact with the audience, substance/ relevance of content presented, supporting material, and engaging the audience). In addition, students are expected to attend classes regularly, and to participate in the class discussions. Students should come to class having read the material assigned for that day, and should be prepared to discuss it. It is the student’s responsibility to keep up to date on assignments and readings.
