Meets the following requirements: AD

In the process of acquiring a degree in Human Ecology, students complete internships and senior projects.  They may also participate in group studies, plays and art and design classes.  In most cases they are left with little tangible evidence of their often extraordinary efforts.  In addition, many are faced with presenting their ideas, or those of a group, but are given little training in effective communication.  Access to jobs and further education usually depends upon their ability to express themselves and demonstrate what they have accomplished or learned.  The intent of this course is to assist students in documenting their work and presenting themselves both graphically and verbally.  It includes (but is not limited to) preparation of portfolios, development of public speaking skills, documentary photography and effective use of visual aids.  Other areas which may be covered, depending upon individual needs, are model building, graphics, resume writing, reprographics and rendering.

Level: Intermediate/Advanced.  Prerequisites: Previous course work in Arts and Design and/or
completion of a senior project or internship which lends itself to visual documentation.  Offered every
two or three years. Class limit: 15.   *AD*
