Subject: Fall 2014-2015: JOUR 2310--Multiplatform Reporting & Writing (non-majors)

 Greetings All!!

I hope you are well.

JOUR 2310—Multiplatform Reporting & Writing (for non-majors) is typically a course students in University College take if they plan to apply for transfer into the School of Journalism.   Currently, two of the three sections that the J-School has scheduled for fall are in danger of being canceled due to low enrollment.  Before I cancel these two sections, I wanted to make sure that you still did not have a significant number of UC students needing to take J2310 in the fall.

To be eligible to take the course, the students must first pass an online grammar test (see attached instructions) or complete JOUR 1330—Precision Language.   Permission slips for J2310 for fall are obtained from Mrs. Sharon Nickels, Schoonover 232 (the "old" Baker Center/the "new" building at the corner of College and W. Union streets).  The Journalism School is on the second floor—top of the stairs to your right.

Currently, there is only one UC student registered for one of these two sections.  If her section is canceled, she will be allowed to register for one of the open sections of JOUR 2311—Multiplatform Reporting & Writing (for majors).

Usually, all sections of 2310 are full by this point in the registration process…so I'm trying figure out if the low enrollment is due to non-interest or a serious bottleneck in the process.

Please let me know if you have a huge demand for this course.  If not, I will be canceling these two sections on Wednesday.

Thanks and Happy Monday,

Eddith
