Rolling out 5050

Rather than just print up all the usual electives guides, send out all the usual emails, pass out all the usual memos to all the usual suspects, we thought we might try something a little bit different this year.

With Fall '08 registration just around the corner, we are pleased to roll out 5050 - a blog that will bring together information about that very special capstone course required for all Villanova Communication students: COM 5050 Senior Project. Not only will you find current information about who is teaching and what the topics will be, you will also have access to information regarding past semesters.

Besides links to information-as-usual, you will find the instructors of Senior Project explaining their topics, possible projects you might pursue, a sense of what happens in the first two weeks of class, and what it takes to succeed in 5050.

As this blog will be changing with each term, you are encouraged to use the RSS feed (by clicking the orange RSS icon above in the location window of your browser) to keep in touch.

To quote Monty Python: "And now for something completely different...!"
