Knight Center Launches Online Courses
Trying to juggle job, internship and J-School program requirements this summer? Here’s a great way to pick up a 400- or 800- level journalism course on your own schedule.
The MSU Knight Center for Environmental Journalism is launching undergraduate and graduate online environmental reporting courses this summer.
JRN 412 and JRN 812 meet once in the classroom at the beginning of the summer. After that, these courses meet online for the next seven weeks.
Attend class at 2 a.m., from a fast-food joint, at home, at the library or while waiting for your pizza to bake. You won’t even get kicked out if you eat that pizza in class. Just don’t get any cheese on the keyboard.
But…it’s not fun and games or just answering questions between bites of pepperoni. These courses require a serious commitment to serious work. Here are their special challenges:
-
It’s up to you to keep up, stay on track and meet deadlines. When you cut a virtual class your education (and your grade) still suffers.
-
These courses are during the abbreviated summer session. That means that each week you are responsible for twice as much material as you are during a 15-week traditional course.
Interested? Sign up. Lifelong education students are welcome.
