Hi there everyone and Happy Thursday!
My name is Mary and I am a junior Communication Studies major. I was a Business Marketing major until last Spring when I took COMM 40 and loved it and realized I wanted to major in Communication Studies instead. I have taken COMM 101C and 144F last semester. I have taken three online classes at San Jose State so far and am taking two this semester(both communication studies courses). I’ve found online classes have taught me to me diligent, disciplined, organized, and time management skills.
One of the online classes I took this past summer was COMM 41 which is Small Group Communication and I really enjoyed it. Even though a lot of people ask, “isn’t it hard working in groups on essays and such online, if you never meet?” My response has been, online classes aren’t for everyone, but for those that it is, like me, I feel as long as we have clear and effect communication with our group members and are persistent on deadlines and who does what, it works out great. So what I hope to gain from this class is how we apply communication studies theories to small group communication and how each person brings forth their own knowledge towards and group and when you put more than one head together, what the outcome is.
A little bit about me… I am a hardcore SF Giants fan, and have grown up around it my whole life. My favorite sport is baseball in general, and although most people find it to be one of the most boring sports around, I on the other hand, not only find it fascinating and intriguing, but inspiring especially since it is America’s past time. So one can imagine since this past year when the Giants won the World Series, that was the best Christmas gift any fan can want and wish for. I love being in the outdoors and love walking different places. Lake Tahoe is my favorite vacation spot, been going there every summer with my family since I was a little girl. I love people and love making others around me smile and laugh.
I look forward to getting to know everyone more throughout this semester.

cool! I definitely had the same epiphany when I took a comm course and I realized how much I loved it! I almost changed my major as well but my #1 love is still US history :)
ReplyDeleteglad to see another baseball fan! the World Series was awesome with the Giants this year. I am a huge Phillies fan though and I loved watching the series, it was a nail biter. sounds like now that we have Cliff Lee back, the 11-12 season will be good for the Phils ;)
good luck in the class!
