Spring schedule causes panic for mass media students (edit)

It may be to believe that it's already that time of year to enroll for the next spring semester. The course catalog is now available on the Washburn University website.

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. Senior registration begins on Monday, Nov. 2. Check with your advisor to ensure your proper date to enroll because it is based on class rank.

  4. I agree, the first paragraph should read, "It may be hard to believe..." Other than that I think it was a great edit!

  5. "It may be to believe." Sounds like we're missing a word here. I think the lede is good because it connects to students' emotions about how quickly the academic year is going by. You could easily spilt up the second paragraph to make it easier to read.

  6. The first sentence needs to be changed just maybe to that it's hard to believe? I don't think your need parenthesis around promotions writing or murder class and capitalize promotions writing. I only know this because Regina fixed my edit. =) Good job though!

  7. I would omit "It may be to believe..." and replace with a different lead. Otherwise, this is a good edit!

  10. Nice edits! One thing at the end, "Be sure to keep a lookout for an email" is probably better!
