Hi Suzanne and Jana

Ok, I added my Spring, 2008 syllabus under ‘history,’ our brainstorming list under ‘course content’ and i added a page called ‘reading library’ where we can post pdfs, links, etc. specifically to options for class reading. I don’t know why:), but i felt like a separate page worked for that instead of under course content, but we can switch it later on  if it doesn’t seem logical . . .

I ‘ll keep adding as we prep for next week.

Talk soon, c

Adding Content

Hi Jana and Suzanne –

Pardon my hiatus from being on here – I have been traveling a bit and took a vacation last week:) lovely! But, the year will be upon us before we know it:)

So, I’ve added a copy of my old syllabus (needs much work but) and the list I generated from our early discussions about potential ‘unique’ topics for 3068.

I will get both the Baruch offical course description and start on the class philosophy this week.

I will also try to add some readings that may (or may not) be of interest.

Ok, talk soon, c

On Our Way

As of right now all three of us are administrators and can therefore edit, post and upload as well as many other activities on this blog. This post is actually a test to see if the email notification is working so if you are now reading this it is because every time one of us writes a post on the blog we will receive an email letting us know that something is up…

I also wanted to say that we have put the Katherine Miller book on order at the Book store and are willing to let the students get the 4th edition and Caryn and I will be supplementing the first chapter with the Eisenberg chapter, more details on that later.

In comparison…

I have been browsing the web to see what other universities are doing for the the Managerial Communication course. Yet what I have found is that most of the other schools teach the course as a business communication skills course, with presentations and business writing assignments. These other syllabi are actually very similar to our Executive Communication course, COM3102.

I have linked to the MIT Managerial Communication course on the History of COM3068 Page. It seems that we have a very different view…

WELCOME

Welcome to the Managerial Communication faculty development blog. In this online area we will work towards three main objectives. The first is to develop the content of the COM3068 course: Managerial Communication. The second is to create a teaching and learning space for all faculties interested and or teaching the Com3068 courses. The third is to have a creative workspace where faculty can explore and experiment with different areas of pedagogy and content for the com3068 course.
Hopefully it will be a place where non-judgmental feedback and resources are readily available and helpful for full time or adjunct faculty. Please join in the discussion and explore the different pages and categories…
