Fall 21: Cross-Genre Copyediting--Part grammar lab and part editing workshop, this course offers a deep dive into developing effective prose style for different areas of writing, including reports, articles, essays and advertising copy. Students get instruction in grammar, usage, and copyediting for accuracy and style--beyond the AP Style Guide and across multiple genres. The course provides a comprehensive look at changes in usage over time and equips students with the skills they need to use various style guides or create their own. Writers and editors in any area of concentration across the university will gain an understanding of how closely their reputations are linked to clean copy. Podcasting--The purpose of this course is to help students create highly produced, long form, episodic, narrative audio journalism that they will try to distribute to a podcast "network" or independently. It will also prepare students to work in a podcast unit for a journalistic enterprise. This is NOT intended for students to create a talk/rant/opinion podcast. Nor is it a course to create a podcast to promote a product/organization/business, (although if that is their intent professionally, they will learn valuable storytelling, technical and marketing/distribution skills in this course).
