COMMUNICATION SCIENCES & DISORDERS IN FILM & MEDIA
This course was offered one time as a “junior tutorial” for undergrads in the School of Communication. It was an exciting opportunity to bring together learners with diverse areas of focus (human communication and radio/tv/film) and discuss how folks with communication challenges are portrayed in the media we consume. There was substantial discussion as to the role communication professionals have in educating the public and the responsibility producers, directors, and actors have in portraying people as full beings and not outdated caricatures.
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
This course was taught several times at College of DuPage (CoD). Learners in the course were considering careers in the health field. Many were applying to one of CoD’s many health sciences programs, such as nursing, phlebotomy, physical therapy assisting, or speech language pathology assisting.
