COMM 317 -- final exam -- first part

In class tonight (Tuesday), I gave out copies of the first part of the final exam as I said I would. For those who failed to attend class, I have posted the final to the message board linked to my faculty page at http://www.sci.edu/classes/ellertsen/facultypage.html ...

Part 1 of the final is due in class Tuesday, April 24, and I will give you five short-answer questions in which you identify a term and tell its significance to journalism, mass communications or your future career. The final and all late class work are must be turned in Tuesday, April 24. There will be no exceptions to this requirement.

About Me

Springfield (Ill.), United States
I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
