Team Project: Team-Led Class and Team Self-Analysis (PDF)

The class sessions designated "Team-led classes" on the calendar will focus on communication topics chosen by teams of students and will be organized by members of the teams. Early in the term, the class will divide up into teams. Each team will be responsible for a 75-minute segment of a class. Every team will choose a topic, distribute readings (if appropriate), and plan classroom activities. Such activities could include role plays, discussion, presentations, cases, or outside visitors (if feasible). Some of the topics teams might choose include business-media relations, negotiation and conflict resolution, electronic communication, corporate crisis communication, intercultural communication, and gender issues in communication. After its class session, each team will submit a two to three page analysis of the team's process and its product (the class itself).
 
Individual Project: Presentation and Executive Summary (PDF)

The individual project for the course culminates in a long (15-20 minute) presentation and an accompanying one-page executive summary. Students may choose their topics in conjunction with a project for another class, the 50K contest, a job-related task, or thesis. If possible, it should be a project involving an external organization so that the real audience will be non-academic. Whether or not the project has a true external audience, however, the presenter will assume a "real-world" audience for both the presentation and the document. The oral presentation and written document should serve a real need for your assumed audience.
