The case studies will give students the opportunity to engage critically in evaluating research design, methodology and ethical issues in particular areas of communication study, with an eye to developing a proposal for their own original theses (in CMNS 499).
Prerequisites: 60 credits of 100-level or higher coursework and CMNS 261, CMNS 262, and CMNS 360
