The two links above both discuss the importance of education. Education is half of my capstone project. The other half deals with communication.  The first link reveals the importance of getting a college education, while the second link has different people talking about their views on the importance of education. I like the idea of having numerous people talk about their opinion. I feel it makes a point more clear.

-In my PSA, I will discuss the importance of education and how communication is a key factor in being successful in school.

-I plan to have people talking, discussing their opinions.

-In my PSA, I will have words and people discussing their thoughts.

-I plan to film a student struggling with their grades. Later I will show a professor who is not engaged in the class vs a professor who is. I will have people discussing the importance of having students engaged in a class and the importance of communication.

CAPSTONE PROJECT STATEMENT OF INTENT


The goal of this project is to help students gain as much from the classroom as they can. I plan to make the classroom as interesting as possible. I also plan to improve communication skills for students, their peers, and their professors.

It is imperative that students feel comfortable in their classrooms. Without that comfort, they are less likely to ask questions and/or get engaged in the class. Being comfortable with their classmates and professors WILL improve grades and skills throughout courses. Communication is key.

These goals fit with my major, Mass Communications and Journalism, because communication is a key factor in EVERY thing we do.

My project gives back to society due to the fact that it helps gain skills and helps students grades improve overall.
