Com 1200 instructors
        Although Com 1200 is a high enrollment class, it does not use a large lecture format.  Instead, we offer many sections (usually about 32 a semester) which are limited about 26 students apiece.  Sections share a common syllabus, but are individually taught by a well-qualified graduate teaching assistant.  In the Department of Communication, we believe that we have some of the best TAs at Mizzou.  To learn more about what makes our TAs so good, follow the highlighted link.
        If you need to contact your instructor, you can call or use e-mail.  That information is listed below.  All instructors have the same campus mail address: Department of Communication, 115 Swizler Hall.  For postal mail, address correspondence to:

        Department of Communication
        University of Missouri-Columbia
        115 Switzler Hall
        Columbia, MO  65211-2310

Roles of Instructors and Course Director
        The instructors do all of the duties associated with day-to-day teaching of the course, other than creating the packet materials and writing part of the exams, which the course director does.  The instructors teach the classes, and they have the authority and responsibility to make all decisions relating to their sections. 
        If you have an issue or concern relating to Communication 1200 that requires some action, you should bring it to the attention of your instructor rather than the course director.  The instructors make the decisions and implement what needs to be done.  The director is not involved with the day-to-day operation of your class, and will refer you back to your instructor for such questions.  Only if you have feedback regarding the performance of your instructor do you need to contact the course director.

Who to contact for questions or assistance

• Class issues -- If you are currently enrolled in Communication 1200 and have questions or concerns about your class, you should talk to your section instructor (see comments above on role of instructors and course director).
• Learning more about communication studies or joining the major -- If you are interested in learning more about the communication major, have questions about the undergraduate curriculum, or are interested in learning about becoming a major our department’s advisor, Helen Atkinson, is the best person to contact.  Her office is 222A Switzler, and you can reach her by phone at 882-4323.  
• Applying for the communication studies major -- To apply for a major, you must get an application packet from the department office (115 Switzler) and turn it in by the application deadline.  Deadlines vary by semester but are strictly adhered to.  Contact Cathy at 882-4431 for more information about the application process.
