These four objectives apply to communication courses: 1. Critical Thinking Skills - to include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information 2. Communication Skills - to include effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written and visual communicationi 3. Teamwork - to include the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal 4.

LATE WORK POLICY: I provide more than enough time for you to be successful in the completion of our assignments. I do understand that sometimes “life happens” however full participation and completion of assignments is still expected. When circumstances lead to work completed late the following policy will apply: Late work will receive a penalty of 10 points per day for three days. Work turned in more than 3 days late will not be accepted and will receive a grade of “0”.
