Here is the syllabus for Interactive and e-Communication as taught by Rob Graham in Fall 2009.

This fall, Cathy Edelstein began offering some new courses, specifically for international graduate students. Those classes will be offered again this spring, and students can register directly online through Emerson's regular "Banner" registration system. The courses are open to ALL INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENTS, both first year and second year students.

Cathy Edelstein say:
"Feedback from students presently taking these courses has been very positive. The support offered and communication skills covered in each session directly impact the success and overall experience of these students while at Emerson. Along with classroom instruction, we meet outside of class to attend cultural events and to socialize with each other."

The schedule for next semester is as follows:

CC610-01 CRN 20822 Conversational Communication for International Professions Tuesdays 9:00-11:45

CC611 Group Dynamics for International Professionals
01- CRN 20824 Mondays 9:00-11:45
02- CRN 20840 Thursdays 9:00-11:45

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Cathy at 617-824-8754 in the Communication Studies Department.

The workshop will be held from 2 - 3:00pm in the 6th Floor Conference Room at 216 Tremont. Pre-registration is required.

Spring registration is coming up! IMC students should be on the lookout for a registration email from the registrar next week.

IMC students may take the Global PR and Global Advertising electives (from the GMCA program) in the spring. These courses are ONLY offered in the spring. They "count" as "IMC electives." Students will not be able to register for them until after the GMCA students register. There is usually plenty of space available for IMC students.

Anyone taking the Global courses is advised to NOT take the "IMC equivalent" course. So if you take Global PR, it's recommended that you NOT take PR Management. Same thing with Advertising, Sales Promotion and Publicity Management. That's a recommendation, not an edict, though.

The summer session tends to be more flexible. Even if you haven't finished three of the prerequisite IMC classes, you can still register for electives in the summer. Summer classes are administered by Emerson's Professional Studies program and classes are also open to students who are not enrolled in Emerson's graduate programs.

The 2009/2010 Emerson Graduate Course Catalog is here. For additional registration information and advice on which courses to choose, be sure to visit the IMC blog archives.
