Spring 2006 Online Courses

The COMM department is offering several online courses during Spring Semester 2005. Some courses, such as COMM 111, will involve a hybrid of online and face-to-face instruction.  The courses are administered through Continuing Education, so their costs are NOT part of the regular fee schedule.  For more information, see the course descriptions below and check out the following website: umonline.umt.edu. The following courses will be offered:

 

COMM 110 – Introduction to Interpersonal Communication (Christian Yoshimura,       cyoshimura@msn.com)

COMM 111—Public Speaking (Phyllis Bo Yuen Ngai, phyllis.ngai@mso.umt.edu)

COMM 322—Public Relations Writing (Christina Yoshimura)

COMM 412—Communicaton and Conflict (Christina Yoshimura)

 

Once registered for an online class, be sure to:

·         Log into the course website by doing the following:

o        Visit umonline.umt.edu (without the www; it doesn't work that way).

o        Click on two consecutive "log in" screens.

o        Your username is your last name and the last four digits of your student i.d..

o        Your password is your six-digit birth date (example: 090576).

o        Click on the link(s) to your course(s).

·         Obtain the syllabus early and get a jump start on the readings.

·         Attend the required orientation at the beginning of the semester (see details in the online course schedule and in Cyberbear).

Email your instructor with any questions.

  

New Course Offerings

Professor Phyllis Ngai will offer COMM 295 – International and Development Communication: This course introduces students to the concepts of International and Development Communication.  International Communication deals with information exchange across national borders while Development Communication focuses on assessing the role of communication in social change, improving living conditions, and enhancing life prospects mainly in developing countries.  The units of analysis include groups, organizations, and nation states.  The course will survey communication issues related to globalization, cultural and linguistic imperialism, informatization, the media, communication and instructional technologies, transnational advertising, the Internet, global migration, multicultural/transnational organizations, modernization and postmodernism, and participatory development.  Through case studies, students will apply key concepts in analysis and problem solving.  In addition, the course aims to engage students in online collaborative projects with students located in developing countries. 

 

Professor Alexa Dare will offer COMM 395 – Communication and Popular Culture:

In this special-topics course, we will use various landmark theories and perspectives to analyze popular culture, with a particular emphasis on the importance of communication in the production and consumption of culture. We will examine various artifacts of popular culture including music, movies, texts, advertisements, clothing, and other relevant artifacts.  In the course of this exploration, we will study the development of culture by applying different theories or ‘lenses’ to these artifacts. We will take a critical perspective in which you will be challenged to examine your own conceptions and consumption of popular culture.  The goal of this course is to combine relevant theories with your own observations and interests in order to develop a careful, critical and useful analysis of popular culture.

Students should note that the Wintersession courses are NOT part of the Spring Semester as far as credit limits and tuition are concerned; they will be paid for on a course-by-course tuition structure, just like summer courses.
