Communications is a constantly changing industry, the jobs of today may not exist tomorrow, and thus we must provide baseline knowledge through hands-on experience.

I believe that if I empower students with the background and skills they need to find answers to implement their projects I have been successful.

This is done by engaging the students in “real world” projects and discussions that have application far beyond the classroom.

I have found that students are responsive to the opportunities to create elements that could be used in a portfolio or in the job search process.

These activities have included the creation of comprehensive promotion and communication campaign plans, maintaining personal blogs, presenting their finding to their peers and developing a wide range of communication tactical elements.

I have discovered my passion is sharing the knowledge I have amassed in the professional world in the classroom.

I am in a unique position to understand how technology has changed this field - with the widespread use of the internet to social and digital media - and to have been on the leading edge of the application of these society changing events.

I look forward to helping more students find their way in the communications field and to the lessons they will teach me along the way

My teaching philosophy is best expressed in a quote by Albert Einstein …

“Know where to find the information and how to use it.

That’s the secret of success.”

Lindenwood

“This course was by far my favorite thus far due to the professor’s teaching style. Instead of lecturing and requiring students to take notes, the professor made the class “fun” by getting them involved and requiring a (hands-on) promotional plan project.” ICM506 Promotion Strategies and Tactics

“This course really helps me to prepare for the future and help me to see the different aspects of the field that I am studying. This course was able to help me see what part of communications interest me and the things I need to do to make this possible. I loved this class and would love to take another class with Professor Oser.” COM130 Survey of Professional Media

“Professor Oser has been my favorite professor this semester. Even though I already had previous experience with the content that is covered in the course, she has helped me develop a basic

understanding of coding and knowledge on configuring my website to SEO standards. She even asked me to even help other

students that were in need of assistance.

Overall, I enjoyed her and the class and I hope to have future classes with her when it comes to Mass Communications.”

COM233 Fundamentals of the Internet

“Required everyone to open up and get to know each other a little bit more than usual, which I think is a great attribute for a class to have.” COM233 Fundamentals of the Internet

“Great Class, best teacher I’ve ever had. Cares about her students.” COM334 Web Design

“The course was structured around presenting yourself in a professional manner. The way it is taught and viewed is a uniform structure and doesn't change for anyone.” COM338 Portfolio and Career Design

“The class was challenging. I definitely learned a lot. The instructor tested our knowledge and really encouraged us to think outside of the box. It was a journey! But I’m glad I took the class. It

introduced many aspects of the field that I didn’t know. Awesome instructor!” ICM510 PR For Business

“This course was great - it really encompassed everything I have learned throughout the Master’s program.”

COM601 Graduate Communications Capstone

“My knowledge of Photoshop definitely increased due to this course. I would love to see courses of the same format for

other Adobe products ...” COM202 Photoshop

“I felt like I learned the broad concepts, and the little how-to details. I am confident that I could produce a communications plan for an actual business now.” COM508 Advertising For Sales

“Her knowledge of the program enabled her to help each student within a few seconds of hearing the problem ... we ventured into in-class assignments which kept the course load at more of an introductory level, which was nice. It wasn’t too overwhelming, but it was more than I was used to; a good stepping stone to the larger course loads I will have in the future.” COM202 Design with Photoshop

“I would recommend Professor Oser, because she is awesome. I have had her for 3-4 different classes and she is a

great teacher.” COM338 Portfolio and Career Design

“The tests were from exactly what was discussed in class. [Professor Oser] held us accountable for completing the assignments when they due, no exceptions. The class was very applicable to life outside the classroom” COM401 Mass Media Law

Magazine Project

Rather than complete several individual design projects, you will be creating an original magazine on a theme of your choice. Your choice must be “PG” as this will be an element of your professional portfolio in the future. Each element will be graded separately and as a final product. This is NOT an opportunity to recreate an already existing magazine – it must be your original design. You may use current magazines for design/style inspiration. You must obey copyright laws and document and credit sources appropriately (this includes individual images). Intellectual property infringement and plagiarism are not acceptable.

Required Elements

• Front Cover • Tablle of Contents • 1/3 page Advertisement• 1/2 page Advertisement • Full Page Advertisement• Letters to the Editor• Editor’s Letter• Top 10 Article• Long Article (500-2000 words)• Recipe Article• Advice Column• Infographic• Author Profiles• Classified/Personals• Subscription Cards• Back Cover

Artistic Freedom

The computer is a perfect medium for fertile artistic creation. Even with its limitations, computers offer freedom of experimentation like no other media. As an example, if the artist tries one style or method and does not like it, they may easily and quickly change it as if the first version never existed. Therefore, once you have completed your class assignment, I strongly encourage further experimentation. Feel free to try out a variety of layouts or renderings for each assignment and select the one that works best. Try to incorporate the principals of design and color theory in each of your assignments. Use your time wisely and don’t quickly rush through the assignments just to get them completed. Discover, experiment, and explore the wide range of possibilities that the computer affords you.

Required Assignments

• Facebook Cover• Twitter Background• Colorize• Color Splash• Business Card• Postcard• Magazine Cover• Restoration• Photoshop Tennis• Web Mock-Up• 12-month Calendar• Ethics of Photo Manipulation Paper

“Going into the semester I didn’t have a class that caught my attention and this class has kept my interest. I’ve always liked writing and now after taking this class I plan to go on to study and hopefully get my degree in Journalism. You made me feel more comfortable writing and taught me how the structure of many types of pieces.” JRN120 Introduction to Journalism
