Winter term

I am really looking forward to this term, to teaching “Information Gathering,” a new class for me. It’s essentially a course in investigative journalism. The course description:

The information used to develop communications materials comes from many sources. Students research and evaluate information from print and electronic records, databases, and interviews. They examine issues relating to how information is gathered, stored, retrieved, and disseminated. Students enhance their creative and critical thinking skills through finding and evaluating information.

Right down my alley!

I am grateful for the opportunities University Canada West has given me.

Sounds like a class I took in Library School :)

This is a required course our B.A. in Business Communications program- and an elective in a number of other programs. I imagine this class would help students pursuing just about any degree.

It is likely that this class will be my final skate around the rink. I am jazzed to be doing something new.

You’ll be great. Such important skills to learn, especially in our age of dis-information.

I really enjoyed the professor’s first class of the semester. The material was presented in a clear and engaging way. I’m excited to see what else we will learn this term. It was a great introduction to the subject matter. Thank you for a wonderful start!
