Television News Producer and Director (and host) determines the direction of the station and keeps current with news and events that are of interest to viewers and then a host listens to guests on the show and needs to know something of the subjects discussed. A communications background is helpful. Technical video, video editing and camera skills are necessary, but may not be learned so much in a college classroom as on the job or through seminars. To be on air, acting, voice or improv classes can be helpful. Hours can be challenging because news can happen anytime of the day or night. Salary will vary based on the market you are in and your experience.

Surveys a range of comic texts from different media, the cultures that produced them, and various theories of comedy. Authors and directors studied may include Aristophanes, Shakespeare, MoliSre, Austen, and Chaplin. This is a second variation of the course. It includes a survey of a range of comic texts from different media, the cultures that produced them, and various theories of comedy. Authors studied include Twain, Wilde, Shakespeare, and Cervantes. Like other communications-intensive courses in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, it allows the student to produce a long writing assignment, in addition to several shorter pieces; it also offers substantial opportunities for oral expression, through student-led discussion, class reports, and class participation.

The user will be enabled to test his/her knowledge on modes of communication. The user will be enabled to test his/her knowledge of the titles of national newspapers.

This module introduces Direct Digital Synthesis with prepared code that transmits arbitrary input as an FM radio signal. The module then explains how to program the DDS hardware and concludes with a simple Frequency Shift Keying exercise.

Students fill in missing lines of code to create a Matlab simulation of a four-symbol frequency shift keying (FSK) transmitter. Students are encouraged to change the symbol period and observe the change in the transmitted signal's spectrum.

This module introduces frequency shift keying (FSK) and describes components of an FSK transmitter block-diagram.

This module introduces frequency shift keying (FSK) and describes components of an FSK transmitter block-diagram.

Students are to implement and optimize a frequency shift keying (FSK) digital transmitter and pseudo-noise (PN) sequence generator.

The interaction between law, policy, and technology as they relate to the evolving controversies over control of the Internet. Topics include: intellectual property and copyright control, privacy and government surveillance, and freedom of expression and content control.

This course considers the interaction between law, policy, and technology as they relate to the evolving controversies over control of the Internet. In addition, there will be an in-depth treatment of privacy and the notion of "transparency" -- regulations and technologies that govern the use of information, as well as access to information. Topics explored will include: Legal Background for Regulation of the Internet Fourth Amendment Law and Electronic Surveillance Profiling, Data Mining, and the U.S. PATRIOT Act Technologies for Anonymity and Transparency, The Policy-Aware Web

This textbook will teach students how to exploit IS in a technology-rich environment. It will emphasize why, no matter what their major, information and communications technologies (ICT) are, and increasingly will be, a critical element in their personal success and the success of their organizations.

Reversible and irreversible operations. Information in biological systems. Channel capacity. Maximum-entropy formalism. Thermodynamic equilibrium, temperature. The Second Law of Thermodynamics. Quantum computation.

15.616 is an introduction to business law which covers the fundamentals, including contracts, liability, regulation, employment, and corporations, with an in-depth treatment of the legal issues relating to breakthrough technologies, including the legal framework of R&D, the commercialization of new high-technology products in start-ups and mature companies, and the liability and regulatory implications of new products and innovative business models. There is extensive attention to national and international intellectual property protection and strategies. Examples are drawn from many industries, including information technology, communications, and life sciences.

Christy George reports that Jesse Jackson (African American political leader) came to Boston to support the strike by employees of New England Telephone. George's report includes footage of Jackson addressing the strikers at City Hall Plaza. George reports that management and employees cannot agree on who should pay for workers' health benefits. George interviews Peter Cronin (spokesman, New England Telephone). Cronin says that the union agreed to share health care costs in 1986. George reports that employees accuse management of staging a "take-back." George's report includes footage of Jan Pierce (Communication Workers of America) at the rally on City Hall Plaza. Pierce rips up a phone bill and urges the workers not to pay their bills until the strike is over. George notes that the union is asking customers to stall payment on their phone bills until the strike is over. George reports that national unions are backing the Nynex strikers. George's report includes footage of striking workers outside of the New England Telephone building. The strikers urge a woman not to pay her phone bill.

Required seminar for Management Science majors to develop the writing, speaking, teamwork, and interpersonal communication skills necessary for managers. Students learn communication principles, strategies, and methods through discussions, exercises, examples, and cases. Assignments include writing memos and business letters, and giving oral presentations in labs outside of class. A major project is the production of a team report and presentation on a topic of interest to a managerial audience.

Core subject for students majoring in management science. Surveys individual and social psychology and organization theory interpreted in the context of the managerial environment. Laboratory involves projects of an applied nature in behavioral science. Emphasizes use of behavioral science research methods to test hypotheses concerning organizational behavior. Instruction and practice in communication include report writing, team decision-making, and oral and visual presentation.

This set of modules examines the mathematical analysis of noise and its effects on communications. It is a subset of a 1 semester course in communication theory.
