JRN 400: Survey Is Here!

What I need you to do is to cut-and-paste the following survey from here to a Word document, fill it out and then email it to me at omars@msu.edu.
Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for working with me on this. A reminder: the survey will be due by 9 a.m. Thursday, May 17. Off we go:

******
This class is the capstone course in the School of Journalism. That means this course is designed to put everything you've learned during your degree program to use. We strongly recommend students complete at least one journalism skills elective BEFORE enrolling in JRN 400. If you have not taken classes beyond JRN 300 in your degree program, you are at a disadvantage in this course.

We also want to allow you to explore your passion — whether it's writing, design, photography, digital media, video or something else. In many ways, we'll operate like a newsroom, with everyone having an assigned role. You will work collaboratively with other members of a team.

To do that, we need to know more about you, your skills and your passions. Please take some time to complete the following survey. If you have any questions about JRN 400 or our expectations, please don't hesitate to see the instructor.

Thanks!
