SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 use a variety of planning techniques and tools (e.g., research, project proposals, production schedules, scripts, blocking, storyboards, site maps, design briefs) when creating plans for communi- cations technology projects;

B2.3 use a variety of information sources and research techniques (e.g., Internet and library searches, checking manuals and other printed materials, consulting experts) to help identify possible solutions;
B2.4 use idea-generating techniques such as brainstorming or clarification techniques such as situation analyses to help identify possible solutions;
B2.5 use charts or hand-drawn sketches to organ- ize sequences, clarify relationships, or compare alternatives;
B2.6 evaluate possible solutions to identify those that most effectively meet the objectives and criteria within the existing constraints.
By the end of this course, students will:
