    Called creative nonfiction and "literature on deadline," this course takes off where beat reporting and "everyday journalism" ends. You will use the techniques and principles of journalism--objectivity, accuracy, research, interviewing-- and combine them with creative writing techniques--first-person writing, subjective reporting, reconstructing dialogue--to create stories that immerse you and the reader deep into your subject. What you will write is true, but the prose will flow like a short story.

    This project-based capstone is the culmination of a Communications major's interest and expertise. Whether it is a research project or an event planning or a series of responsibilities that are career-oriented, students will meld their prior courses to form a working experience. Some projects will be completed in one semester; some will require more, and students will accumulate approximately 150 hours in preparation and study to complete the assignment. In-class course work is limited, incorporating weekly timesheets and journals of one's progress. Because the number of capstone projects vary, so, too, will final products of capstone experiences vary by student and by areas of interest. The Cm404 Communications Capstone can also be used by Liberal Arts, Visual Arts and Humanities students as a Capstone for a supervised senior project as determined in consultation among the student, advisor and Communications faculty.
