The class is comprised of roughly 165 students.
The course is divided into two sections: lecture and lab. The work assigned in lecture is worth 50% of your grade and the other 50% comes from lab assignments.
Lectures are held in room 1140.
The lectures are taught by Kathryn White and the lab sections are taught by lab instructors. Spring Spring 2010 lecture classed are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 until 11:20 am. There are multiple lab sections that students can choose from.
There are four books required for the class: "Writing for the Mass Media" by Stovall, "Media Writer's Handbook" by Arnold, "The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual", and "New Directions in Diversity" by Padgett. Other materials will be posted online, as needed.
To be admitted into the Gaylord College of Journalism, students must earn at least a C in the course.
The course stresses punctuality and accuracy. A student entering the classroom ten minutes late will be counted absent. Factual errors on assignments result in automatic deduction of points.
The class emphasizes the need for writing in all forms of media and seeks to hone the skills
of those entering the fields of journalism, broadcasting, writing, advertising and other professions
that create media.
The class utilizes various forms of media to give a greater understanding of the impact of
writing and how it affects and shapes the world.
