Course Description:   

Advanced Radio Broadcasting is an elective course.  Students interested in mastering the skills necessary for radio production and broadcasting should consider this course.  Throughout multiple levels and semesters, students will develop increasingly advanced skills in editing techniques, show creation, interviewing, script writing, content evaluation, promotions and additional skills necessary for maintaining a radio station.  The class involves weekly radio shows and production assignments.  Radio Broadcasting classes are taught under the supervision of Peggy Holecek.

Instructional Goals:

An increasing understanding and mastery of the principles of radio production are two of the main goals.  Equally important are skills in critical thinking, teamwork, decision making, ethics, inductive and deductive reasoning, error analysis, application of knowledge and acceptance of responsibility.

Expectations:

Students are expected to demonstrate initiative and responsibility.  Students are expected to be on time to class, treat each other with respect, and participate actively in group projects.  All assignments and shows are to be handed in on time following explained procedures.  Students are expected to demonstrate improvement in all aspects of broadcasting throughout the semester.

Grading Procedures:

Grades are based on individual projects, class participation and radio shows.  Projects and radio broadcasts demonstrate students understanding of material and competency in production techniques.
