address a number of the values and competencies, with special emphasis on: demonstrate an understanding of the history and role of professionals and institutions in shaping communications; demonstrate an understanding of professional ethical principles and work ethically in pursuit of truth, accuracy, fairness and diversity; think critically, creatively and independently; write correctly and clearly in forms and styles appropriate for the communications professions, audiences and purposes they serve. Grading and Assignments Course Structure and Preparation This course will be taught by combining brief lectures, case studies, current events and class discussion. I will present lecture material that gives an overview of each area. We will then apply these lectures in the second half of the class by discussing real-world and current event examples of a variety of investor relations situations when appropriate. Group discussion of these cases and events are the heart of the class. Each student is expected to have read assigned readings and be ready to discuss them critically come class time. NOTE: Class attendance is essential. It will be impossible to get an "A" in this course without active and thoughtful participation in the discussion of the readings, events and cases, and additional research. Professionalism of Work I expect all of your work to be correctly edited and professionally presented. Written assignments must be typed using professional guidelines, single-spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. Print your assignment and turn in a hard copy to me. Please maintain a copy of each assignment until final grades have been reported at the end of the semester. Late assignments will lose 10% for every day that they are late. Assignments are late if they are not turned in at 9:30am on class days when assignments are due.
