Why is Simulations the Capstone Class....



One of my other teachers asked why I liked this class as our capstone of the major. It took me a few minutes to think of an answer. This is our capstone class because it allows us to act out what we have learned in 2650 and 3650. I had no idea why we had to learn all of the theories and different people in these classes and yes some of them I have forgotten. I received an A in CMN 2650 with Professor Mills and a B in CMN3650 with Dr. Rod. Neither one of these classes were classes that stood out to me in my communications major like my interviewing class or my persuasion class. As I sat in both 2650 and 3650 I felt as though these were the type of classes where I would learn all of this information and forget it right after the semester was over. One of those classes that I would look back on and wish I did not have to take because it was a waste of my money.

From this class I have learned that even though I do not remember everything from 2650 and 3650 they were not a waste of money or my time. That have made me into the type of speaker and soon to be businesses person I am going to be. These two classes have also set us up to know how to survive in the Simulations Process. This is our capstone class because it allows us to expressed what we have learned in all of our other classes. We have to show that we know how to work together no as a group but as a team, that we can be competitive and want to do well so we can succeed as a team. We also have to show that we know how to speak and present as a communication major. Another important part of this class is to show that we can be creative for example you have to be creative as a group to think of the type of product or service you are going to sell. Selling is also vital to this class because if you do not know how to sell your corporation will no succeed at the trade fair. All of these aspects that are important to the class are important to the job world. For example you have to know how to work as a team, be competitive, and creative to impress employers.

Without this class in our major we would leave Eastern's campus without a way to showcase our talents as communication majors.
