Course Material

The Course Material series includes syllabi, handouts, lecture notes, readings, and grades for Communication 250 and 500, Honors Program 251, and ILS 755. Also included are coursepacks for Honors 251. Communication 250 (originally 500) was a required course for communication majors focusing on how critical thinking and information synthesis are impacted by technology and new media, and was taught jointly by the University Library and Department of Communication. Honors 251 was developed and taught as an honors sophomore seminar in LS&A. The series also documents collaboration between the University Library and School of Information to create an undergraduate course, which resulted in the formation of Honors 251.
