The official guide to courses from the Big Three: COSC, TESU, & Excelsior

[jsh1138]

Provider: Thomas Edison
Course: Communications 100: Communication Theory
Instructor: Robert Dew
Course content: There's a textbook and that's about it
Final exam format: You have to write a 2000 word paper and do a power point
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: The paper is about the course content, the power point is about the paper
Time taken on course: 12 weeks
Familiarity with subject before course: This was one of my last classes for my communications BA
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: this is a 12 week course with 15 assignments. You have to do the final paper/power point and you have to do a podcast. Other than that it's very easy with the rest of the assignments being class discussions or 500 word papers.
1-10 Difficulty level: 1. You could probably pass this course without opening the textbook. It's an intro level course and not complicated at all.
