Spring schedule agitates mass media students

 It is hard to believe it's already that time of year to enroll for the next semester. The course catalog is now available on the Washburn University website, and seniors enroll Nov. 4.

While looking at the course catalog online, mass media students who are planning to graduate in May of 2016 may experience slight panic when they see that the class Promotion Writing will be offered online in the spring. This class has not been offered in several years, and the mass media department has allowed students to take another upper division elective to fulfill the writing class requirement.

Several students have already taken a special topic elective titled Murder, Media, Mayhem: Crime Reporting that is taught by adjunct lecturer, Timothy  Hrenchir, who currently works for the Topeka Capital-Journal.

According to department lecturer, Regina Cassell, students who have taken a substitute for the course during the time it was not being offered will not be required to take the class. The substitute will still satisfy the requirement. This comes as a big sigh of relief for those who are expecting to graduate in either spring or summer 2016.

Be sure to keep a look at your email to ensure you don’t miss advising for the spring. Advanced registration opens Nov. 2. Make sure to check with your adviser to ensure your proper date to enroll, as it is based on class rank.

  1. I thought this was a great edit!!! However, I don't think there is supposed to be a comma after believe in the first sentence!

  2. It seems to have comma issues and is kind of choppy. Other than that, it has good content!

  3. Probably wouldn't start with "It's hard to believe..."

  5. Great edit! In the last paragraph I would take out "make sure" because earlier in the paragraph you say "be sure." Looks great though!

  7. There were a couple good edits made, but several big things are still being missed. The date still needs to be corrected along with the spelling of Regina Cassell's name. The second paragraph needs to be divided in half because of the length in comparison to the first and final sentences. There are a few unnecessary commas particularly in the last sentence. The headline is strong and doesn't need changing. Well done.

  8. Good job editing! Regina Cassell is spelled wrong and I think there are a few unnecessary commas in this article.

  9. Great edit and very straightforward. Just fix the spelling of Regina's name, delete some commas, and I would just start it off like "It's that time of year again to enroll for next semesters courses," otherwise good!

  11. It is hard to believe, that it's already that time of year to enroll for the next spring semester. I would omit next spring semester... it almost sounds like Spring 2017

  12. I wouldn't start with "it's hard to believe," but besides that, this is a great edit! Straight forward and to the point!

  13. The edits are nice. Changing "panic" to "agitates" makes the topic seem less severe, which isn't bad. Good job!

  17. Great edit! At the very beginning, perhaps "Senior can enroll..." is better?
