Five courses are involved in a set of related proposals involving a request for the creation of a new departmental designation—CMST—for Communications Studies. Three of these may be presented at the March 8, 2011 Curriculum Committee meeting:
Introduction to Oral Communication (proposed as CMST 101):
- CMST 101 Creation Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 101 Outcomes Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 101 Syllabus Proposed 3-3-11 docx
Interpersonal Communication (proposed as CMST 210):
- CMST 210 Creation Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 210 Outcomes Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 210 Syllabus Proposed 3-3-11
Public Speaking (proposed as CMST 220):
- CMST 220 Creation Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 220 Outcomes Proposed 3-3-11
- CMST 220 Syllabus Proposed 3-3-11
Wayne has indicated that:
- CMST 101 will be a new course, and will be a combination of public speaking and interpersonal communication.
- CMST 130 [Information Literacy and Critical Thinking] will be a new course and we are proposing this as a gateway course, eventually required for all students. It should have a HT designation as well.
- CMST 210 is an enhanced version of SPCH 105, moving it to a 200 level course.
- CMST 220 is an enhanced version of SPCH 120 as well and both courses would also carry both communications and humanities theory designations.
- SPCH 105 and SPCH 120 would no longer exist.
- HMTS 201 (Oral Interpretation of Literature: Storytelling) is proposed for revision to CMST 201.
