Thurs., Mar. 11
The instructor reminded students to go to the Comm Club on Mar.22. Do not come to class at 2 p.m. on this date. The Comm Club presentation is the instruction for the class for that day. The topic is how to find a job in communications.
Next we went to the computer lab in 403 to work on the outline for the copywriting assignment. Students obtained the assignment from their email and each student selected a formula for their sales letter. Next they wrote their outline for their particular type of business. They provided a copy to the instructor before leaving for the day and for their spring break.
Next class:
Read Ch. 8. Instructor will be emailing exam for Ch's 5 & 8.
