Appendix A4.9
School of Journalism Studies and
Graphic Communication
School of Journalism & Graphic Communication
Responses to Questions from Governor Rick Scott
A. The School of Journalism & Graphic Communication (SJGC) is comprised of
two divisions—Journalism and Graphic Communication. Both divisions are
accredited by their respective accrediting associations. Journalism is
accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass
Communications (ACEJMC) and Graphic Communication is accredited by the
Accrediting Council for Collegiate Graphic Communication (ACCGC).
It is appropriate to mention the Division of Journalism is scheduled for a reaccreditation site visit in February 2012. The division faculty is currently
involved in preparations for that visit. A self-study is near completion which
contains information from industry representatives about the preparation of the
program’s graduates.
The school, in addition, benefits from an advisory board which is comprised of
industry professionals who are familiar with students in the program and, of
course, with the needs of the industry.
Attachment A to this response identifies the members of the school’s Board of
Visitors.
Attachment B to this response identifies the professional competencies in the
journalism accrediting association’s guidelines.
B. The school’s faculty is thoughtful in its preparation of students. Indeed, the
school has recently completed a restructuring of its curriculum to enhance the
preparation of its students for the world of work.
In addition to the faculty’s constant monitoring of the curriculum, the school
regularly reviews objectives from key courses and assesses student
performances in these courses. The findings of these assessment efforts lead to
discussions that focus on strategies to enhance student performance. The
accrediting agency’s competences have been identified in the response to item
A.
C. Indeed, the school has writing proficiency and critical thinking competencies
evidenced in its annual assessments efforts. Copies of the 2010-11 reports
have been included in Attachment C.
Given the pedagogical focus of the school, an emphasis on writing proficiency
and critical thinking is required and is indeed evident. Syllabi reflecting this
emphasis have been provided in Attachment D.
E. The SJGC curriculum provides a strong emphasis on writing proficiency and
critical thinking into all its courses. As discussed previously, focusing
instruction on writing proficiency and critical thinking is central to the school’s
mission. This emphasis is reflected in the school’s mission, its courses and
again the accrediting agency’s guidelines.
The school’s annual assessment reports reflect on-going monitoring and
strategies to strengthen students’ writing and critical thinking ability.
F. The SJGC has named one of its faculty members as its coordinator of
internships and placement. The faculty member provides information on
internships and employment opportunities for students/graduates. Each year,
the faculty member identifies internships that SJGC students have
experienced. Students who take internship for credit are required to have a
supervisor provide a report on the intern’s performance. The faculty member
shares the results of such critiques with the rest of the faculty.
The faculty member also maintains a website that identifies opportunities for
internships and employment for students and alumni.
M. Each year, some 20 to 30 recruiters visit the school to interview students for
internships and employment opportunities. The school also holds an annual
career fair that features list of regular recruiters such as CNN, Gannett,
ESPN.
Q. The FAMU SJGC is nationally recognized for its outstanding graduates. Just
this year, CBS agreed to fund a visiting professorship in the name of Harold
Dow, to Support the school’s efforts to educate the next generation of
journalists. CBS, like other companies, knows journalism/communications
industry continues to have a need for qualified African Americans.
The FAMU SJGC has a reputation for providing that talent. During a recent
meeting of the school’s BOV, one board shared a story that identified Florida
A&M as the only school in the historically black college community worth
looking to for qualified graphic designers.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
There will be at least 10 homework assignments graded and each graded assignment will be
worth 10 points. Up to 20 bonus points will be included in the homework assignments.
In lieu of a mid-term exam, each student will be expected to write at least two stories and collect data for
an informational graphic, photo or breakout box related to each of the two stories that could be
considered for publication in The Famuan or Journey. Accuracy, spelling and grammar matter in
journalism. Five points will be deducted for each fact error or name misspelled, so please proof
your work.
The first story proposal for student media will be due in writing on Sept. 14 with at least 10 questions and
five sources that you plan to contact. Key components within a story proposal will be posted on
Blackboard and reviewed in class. If a similar story was written within the last school year then that does
not qualify. If you do not turn in a story proposal, five points will be deducted from your story package. A
summary of story proposals will be loaded on Blackboard for the class. The first 400-word story
package will be due on Sept. 28 (with phone numbers for sources at the end of the story) in class.
Any rewrites will be due on the following Wednesday. You are to email a copy to
thefamuaneic@gmail.com or the appropriate section editor after the professor has provided you
feedback.
Your first evergreen story must be related to a local event, research or topic outside of the School of
Journalism & Graphic Communication. You cannot pitch a story or write a story about classmates,
roommates and issues within the School of Journalism & Graphic Communication. Journalists must be
curious and often cover topics outside of their comfort zones.
The second evergreen story proposal will be due in writing on Oct. 12 with at least 10 questions and five
sources that you plan to contact. That 400-word story package will be due on Wednesday, Oct. 26,
including phone numbers for sources at the end of the story. Any rewrites will be due on the
following Wednesday. You are to email a copy to thefamuaneic@gmail.com or the appropriate
section editor after the professor has provided you feedback.
Each of the story-related assignments for student media is worth 25 points or a total of 50 points.
Failure to turn in a photo or information box, will result in 5 points being deducted from each
assignment for student media.
Students in this class will collaborate with the International Press Institute in Vienna, Austria to produce
stories about press restrictions, censorship and the daily practice of journalism in Africa. You will be
paired with another student and as a team you will research and produce an 800-1,000 word report on
the state of journalism/media in that country. You also will produce an information fact box that includes
the country’s population, a “domestic overview” or mini-summary of the economic/political situation in that
country and a “beyond borders” or mini-summary of key foreign relations. The 10 countries assigned to
this class are Angola, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Togo, Zambia and
Zimbabwe. The Africa journalism project package is worth 50 points. Failure to turn in an
information box, will result in 10 points being deducted from the Africa assignment.

FINAL EXAM
The final exam will be comprehensive and will cover all class materials, including lectures, the textbook
and AP style.
CLASS DISCUSSIONS
Each student is expected to participate in class. Please remember that your input during class discussion
is just as important and necessary as the comments of your fellow classmates. PLEASE ARRIVE TO
CLASS ON TIME having read the day’s assigned readings. When listening to lectures, please feel free to
ask clarifying questions and to offer constructive or illustrative comments. You are expected to be
constructive critical thinkers and present your best in all verbal and written activities.
THE BEST GRADES ARE GENERALLY ACHIEVED BY STUDENTS WHO:
1) Attend each class meeting;
2) Submit high quality, honest work ON TIME.
Adherence to the professor’s expectations presented in this syllabus will increase each student’s chance
of receiving the grade you desire. The syllabus will be reviewed during the first class meeting. Each
student also is expected to read the complete syllabus.
**Please turn off your cell phone, MP3 player and all other electronic devices prior to the start of
the class. Pop quizzes on current events and/or assigned reading materials will be given for the
entire class if a cell phone, MP3 player or other electronic device is used inappropriately in class.
Pop quizzes cannot be made up so you must be present to participate.
Dress Code
Students are required to dress appropriately for class. This means no baseball caps, hats, halter tops,
short shorts, belly buttons, underwear, excessive cleavage or other inappropriate attire during class.

Class Attendance and Absences
Attendance is very important. This course allows for three unexcused absences. Any absences beyond 3
absences must be excused by the Dean with written documentation. Based on university rules, a student
who accumulates more than two unexcused absences may automatically receive an “F” for the course. All
student illnesses and emergencies that may lead to an absence(s) should be reported to the instructor as
soon as possible with appropriate documentation based on university guidelines upon returning to class
following the absence(s).
Deadlines and Format of Written Homework Assignments
Journalists are expected to make deadlines. All assignments should be submitted in a typewritten
format and on time. No handwritten homework assignments will be accepted. Unless you have a
documented medical emergency or an excused absence approved by the dean, no late homework
assignments will be accepted. All assignments should include the following information in the
order listed below:
Your Name:
Course Title:
Date:
Homework #:
All assignments should be typed in double-spaced format using 12 point Arial type.
Students are urged to visit the professor during office hours to discuss questions and concerns they may
have about the class, assignments, etc. Telling the professor that you did not understand an assignment
at the time the assignment is due is unacceptable. Please review all assignments ahead of time to make
certain that you understand what the assignment is asking you do to. If you do not understand an
assignment, you are urged to ask questions prior to the due date of the assignment.
AVOID PLAGIARISM
All work from printed sources or interviews must be attributed. This is a basic requirement in journalism.
Plagiarism, or ‘the using of someone else’s work and pass it off as one’s own, without giving that work
proper credit or attribution.” This is includes material copied from someone’s paper(s) or form the Internet
(including quoted material lifted from someone else’s news stories) with attribution. A violation of that
requirement will be reported to the Dean’s office. Each assignment should be the work of the student
whose name appears on the completed task. Material copied from classmates will be considered
plagiarism. Plagiarism is the most serious academic offense that you can commit and can result
in a failing grade for course or expulsion. Penalties for plagiarizing and cheating activities at a
minimum will result in receiving a zero grade for the assignment. For more serious cases,
students may fail the course and/or be referred to the Academic Conduct Committee and our Dean
Page 5 of 12
for possible expulsion. All students will be required to sign and submit to the professor a copy of
the School of Journalism & Graphic Communication Honor Code.
GRADING
All written assignments including news stories/articles and homework assignments will be graded on how
well you follow the directions for the assigned task. Please avoid the following common writing errors:
-
Awkward, wordy phrases and sentences.
Misspelled words.
Factual errors.
Grammatical errors
Incorrect choice of homonym (words that have the same sound and sometime the same
spelling, but differ in meaning. Examples of homonyms include: their and there, here and
hear, stationary (unmoving) and stationery (writing paper), your (possessive of you) and
you’re (contraction for you are), assent (agreement) and ascent (a movement upward).
