Introductory Post

Hello COMM 105!

I am currently a senior at San Jose State University. I have spent 5 years at San Jose State and am ready to graduate in the fall! I am actually a sociology major, but I started college thinking I would be a business major. After one class in sociology, my views about the world changed, and I decided to take a different academic path. This is probably why I have spend 5 years here!
Communication studies is new to me, and I hope to learn a lot from this class. The only communication class I have taken in the past was my public speaking course. I learned a lot from that course, but we didn't really study the importance of communication in society as a whole. This is also my first experience with online classes so I have tons to learn about how this is all works. Although I have not taken a COMM course outside of public speaking, sociology has taught me the value of communication and how it interconnects societies around the globe. Hopefully some of my other studies will provide me with a better understanding of this course.
I guess I could tell you guys a few random things I like to do outside of school stuff. I'm actually a little stressed because I have never taken a summer course, and I can't keep myself away from camping or the lake. The problem with camping and the lake is there is no internet connection! Even though I love the lake, and boating, sometimes responsibility has to reign supreme :) I hope to get to know a little bit about you guys as well, and nice to meet you.

  2. Hello fellow sociologist!

    I am also new to the COMM department,as I am taking this class for elective units. I do think that our sociology background may come in handy for some analysis in this course. Spending less time outdoors is going to be a bit of a downer this summer, but at least we're almost graduating! :)

  3. To all our graduates, Congrats! I thought I was graduated, however I needed 4 more upper division units to get my degree, so here I am! Make sure you all meet with academic advising in plenty of time! I miss enjoying summer activities like camping and going to the lake...Oh, College! How I look forward to being done. This is a my first summer course too and a great class for my last one. I'm excited to share it with you!

    Like you, I enjoy camping and being on the water too-just love tubing! I have to admit though, smores are probably my most favorite part of the camping experience! Welcome to class!
