comm3010 research & reporting (3 credits) |
|---|
Prerequisites: COMM1020
The ability to independently research and report on a topic becomes increasingly important at the higher levels of study in a university program. By individually locating, evaluating, and summarizing secondary research sources, and organizing their data, students analyze research in relation to a problem they are solving, draft a proposal, write a final report, and present their research to their peers. Lectures and assignments guide students as they develop their final report.
