Three Exams (300 points)
This course is certified as a “Communication-Intensive
Course” and meets all of the requirements explained on the CxC
Web site: http://cxc.lsu.edu., including the following: Emphases on
formal and informal assignments in written communication and technological
communication, class time spent on communication, 40% of the final grade based
on communication projects, revisions after faculty feedback on 2 formal
projects (one for each emphasis), and a student/faculty ratio of 35:1. Because
it meets these requirements, students may count it toward “Distinguished
Communicator” certification on LSU transcripts.
