At the University of Kansas, I teach undergraduate courses – Media Writing for Audiences (JMC 304) and Writing for Business (BUS 305) – which equip students with critical skills in researching, gathering, and writing across both journalistic (e.g., news, features, and writing for broadcast) and strategic communication (e.g., press release, creative brief, memo, persuasive report, and business proposal) strands. I also have experience serving as an instructor and course coordinator for Information Exploration (Media Literacy- JMC 302), where I developed and facilitated lesson plans and teaching documents to deepen undergraduate students’ skills in seeking and assessing the credibility of information from various sources (e.g. including Google World News, Mintel, public record and scholarly databases).
- BUS 305: Writing for Business: This equips students with the ability to write professional memos, persuasive reports, and business proposals. I assisted two 25-student writing labs.
- JMC 302: Information Exploration (Media Literacy): This teaches students about various types of sources (e.g., government, business, and nonprofit) and how to evaluate their credibility. I also serve as course coordinator and instructor.
- JMC 304: Writing for Media: This focuses on developing students’ writing and editing skills for both news (e.g., news and feature writing) and strategic communication (e.g., press release, creative brief) contexts. I lectured to 150 students, and assist 20 student-writing labs).
