The course was taught by Professor Patrick Parsons, who not only wrote one of our two text books, but also is the Head of the Telecommunications Department. It was a lecture based class, which I found a little tedious because I was already familiar with most of the material. Mr. Allison, my radio advisor in high school, gave me a very solid foundation in this area, which is a good thing. Every time Professor Parsons asked a question, even the obscure ones like who owns PaxTV, I always had my hand up, poised to answer the question.

For our final report, we had to choose one topic to write about from a list of nine. One option was to research a radio station and write a report on it. After meeting out of class with Professor Parsons, he allowed me to write a report on my former high school station, WWPH 107.9 FM. That year was the 25th anniversary of the station, and Professor Parsons agreed with me that it would be a nice service to the station to compile this report for them. He removed the ten page maximum for me, and that is a good thing because the report ended up being over 30 pages.

I took COMM 180 because I am interested in telecommunications and the course works towards my Telecommunications Minor. I am planning to continue with other courses in the Telecommunications Department, which couple as a nice addition to the Information Sciences and Technology Major and give me the background for the executive level job in the telecommunications field that I am looking for.

Class grade received: A
