Comments
Dr. Martin and Dr. Darlington developed a "Take and Teach" Canvas course for COM 122 for use by HU/COM faculty, both full-time and adjuncts. The course--which will help ensure that we deliver consistent, high-quality instruction across several sections of COM 122--does not require a textbook, which means that the course's impact spreads far beyond the few classes taught by any individual professor. - Faculty nomination
