COM2401-Discussion

Q1;

You are required to select a country to focus on throughout the semester, culminating in a research-based Executive Brief as the final class project.

The country should not be one you are intimately familiar with – by birth, or having lived there. The objective of the course is to learn about International Communications through a series of critical thinking challenges through research, reading, and a variety of learning exercises. Your professional development in this course will come from being challenged to learn something new.

Question – What country did you select to focus your work on this semester? Why did you select this country? What come to mind first when you think about this country?

Q2:
