Radio & TV Operations Bachelor degree in Broadcasting and Mass Communications. BMC 375 Breyer State University SYLLABUS COURSE OVERVIEW: Welcome to Radio/TV Operations, a Bachelor Level course in the curriculum for the Degree, Bachelor of Broadcasting and Mass Communications. I am pleased to instruct you in this course. This is an exciting course, a course that explores the vast boundaries of various management techniques in dealing with employees. It is well known that when managers fail to communicate properly with employees, the company soon fails. This is what the course concentrates on: the process of not trying to master people, or manipulate them, or ignore them, but to retrain managers in the art of working with its staff and not against it. To be sure, this is a paradigm change in thinking. TIME FRAME: This is a eight-semester hour course. This course is allotted 10 weeks of time. You must complete all of the requirements for the course successfully by the end of the 10-week period. The first day of week one will begin the day that you register for the course, or the day which you notify me that your textbooks have arrived and you are ready to begin your studies. Please be cognizant of the time frame. It is rare that extensions of time are permitted, unless you have good justification. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be awarded eight semester hours of credit. TEXTBOOK: There are two (2) required textbooks for this course.
