Communications Department


When the topic of the communication department came up as a topic for my blog I felt that I would have a tough time writing about it. But, what I realized is that communication studies is the only area where I really showed interest. When I came to college I had no clue what to do in terms of choosing a major and minor, but the my communications teachers throughout my GE classes really cleared my mind. I had two very good teachers for Comm 20 and Comm 40.  Those two teachers were able to really influence me into making communications my major. I learned a lot about the department and how it works as well as the professors and their methods of teaching. I am really happy with my decision now; I feel that the teachers who I have had have been really flexible in terms of meeting with them and interacting.  Something that I have noticed also is that my professors really take interest in knowing me as a person rather then as a student. We talk about issues in our world as well as communicating in daily life. I feel like I might not be able to build as positive of relationships in other departments and that is why I’m very content with my decision to choose the communications department as my major.

  1. I completely agree with you DJ. That is one reason I love communication studies. I have had some amazing professors, even at the community college level back home in San Diego. I still talk to two of them and meet up with them when I go home for breaks. Being in communication studies you get to have real discussions with your teachers and form a relationship.

  2. I agree with you! I feel like the professors in the Comm. department are very helpful and effective in their teaching. I believe it's partly due to the fact that they are very understanding of people because of their backgrounds in communication. A lot of my professors take time to develop relationships with the students in order to communicate the course work effectively and really help each individual student do their best.

  4. I agree with what you're saying. I posted the same point of view on my blog. I've had some great experiences with professors here in communication studies. And I believe the semester is going to be even better!
