This course will allow us to explore together the ways in which sports has become an integral part of our (and other) cultures and the variable roles of communication within that. Topics include: parent-child-coach dynamics; gender, race, national, organizational, and intergenerational issues; and the ways different media report on and construct our views of various sports and their relationships to society. Ultimately, we will move to constructing a new applied communication model of sports and leisure practices.

Great course and lectures are interesting. However, she is not understanding of any personal issues or concerns, is not accommodating at all. So if you get sick or can't make a test or genuinely anything normal pops up, she won't be helpful in any way.

Class consists of 3 conflict journals (~1 page each) and a conflict reflection paper (~2 pages) but are kinda fun assignments. 2 pop quizzes (lowest score dropped), 5 in class activities (super easy), and a midterm and final (40 question MC and T/F). You don't need to read txtbk, just go to lecture and read your notes/study guide for the tests.

I lost a lot of respect for Prof myers. I truly enjoyed her class, but I went through a lot of difficult personal, family issues this quarter that caused me to not do well in this class. I explained to her what I was going through with proof and she was not understanding whatsoever. I was disappointed as I had really enjoyed her class until now

Meyers is incredibly kind. She took a topic that could easily be dull and made it genuinely interesting. The testing and assignment grading were very fair and the lectures were engaging and felt highly applicable to real-world scenarios. Test questions were nothing unexpected (she has a study guide). 3 discussion posts that were not bad.

My first time having Prof Myers and I loved her so much that I signed up for her two classes in Fall! Material is super digestible and applicable, so much so that lectures aren't too boring. Grade consists of 2 easy pop quizzes, 2 in-class activities, weekly discussion posts on PackBack, and a mc midterm and final. One of the best profs out there!
