Last year I took a pilot course called Comm 101 that was taught by professors Paul Cubbon and Jeff Kroeker. We covered a broad amount of business topics such as marketing, sustainability, finance, accounting, human recourses and entrepreneurship. It was one of my favorite commerce courses and it wasn’t just because it didn’t have a final exam. Paul Cubbon is an amazing marketing professor and kept classes interesting by drawing on events from our daily life to explain the concepts we were learning. He also made some funny jokes about his side kick Jeff Kroaker that kept the class paying attention. I was recently reading a blog post Paul wrote this past September about Comm 101 and the use of iclickers, blogs, and tweeting during class. I found these activities to be extremely beneficial for class participation and real life practice for the business world. The iclickers and group work kept us engaged in discussions and you didn’t want to be caught sleeping because you never knew when the class microphone would be sent your way. I give Paul and Jeff a great amount of credit for the job they did last year because many of the lessons they taught us often re-appear in my other commerce courses and in my everyday life. I now have a better understanding of business because I took Comm 101 in my first year and I am glad to hear it is now a required course.
