The Last Class: Bad Grammar Isn't Sexy

Well folks, it's been quite a semester. We've worked hard, done a lot of writing, and shared many laughs. All that's left is the final exam and getting those jobs Professor Eisman promised. 

Today in class we discussed what will be on the final, got our t-shirts, and filled out teacher evaluations. 

NOTE: Remember to check your Black Board to make sure your grades are in order.

As outlined the final will have four parts:

Part One: (60%)

Three writing pieces in different formats we covered this semester.

1. A web article (including text and maybe other stuff)

2. A broadcast report (timed)

3. A press release or PSA (Eisman will decide which at later date, but before the exam)

Part Two: (5%)

-Five news questions (the news could be from any number of days before the exam) 

Part Three: (15%)

-Grammar, Style and Math

-It will be about 15 questions

Part Four: (20%) 

-Two essay questions on any of the following topics:

-Media Law

-Public Service Announcements

-Media Ethics

-Public Communications and Strategy 

Other notes on the exam: 

-To study review the text, past writing assignments, and the online journalist math test.

-We will not be able to use the text book or an AP Stylebook during the exam.

-We will be using the computers in the classroom. 

As a final note, we took a class picture with our new t-shirts.... "Bad grammar isn't sexy." 

See you all Thursday.
