Do COMM Proffessors Communicate Organization?

    Organization is an important part of daily life, and especially important for a Communications based career. I have always been organized and being organized helped me pick my career path. I am a NDSU student in my second year, studying Strategic Communications. In my time here I haven't really heard much about how COMM majors or even general students learning the basic knowledge of organization skills. Communications major do have a little bit of head start because they are required to take COMM 189 The skills of Academic Success. This class is for incoming freshman to help them be more successful in their first year at NDSU, other than that class; organization isn't taught. Most students are never taught organization and professor just assume that students know how to this. According to What To Become 30% of college students drop out after the first year because they are overwhelmed with course work. This is because the students can't keep everything organized and on track. 

    In order to help students succeed professors should put aside one week to teach student how to be prepared and organized in their class. It is hard to teach ourselves how to be organized for at most seven classes every semester. This would allow students to get together the things they will need and have an idea  of how the professor will want them to do the work. If students think they have a hand on things they might even work harder to stay of track for the rest of the year. Having organization skills can help students stay in school longer.
