My School Podcast
Write a script for a 1-2 minute podcast (roughly 150-200 words), explaining why your university is a good place to get an education. Your audience is other adult learners and prospective adult learners. You can choose to craft a general message, something that would be useful to all prospective students, or you can focus on a specific academic discipline or some other important aspect of your college experience. Make sure your introductory comments make it clear whether you are offering a general recommendation or a specific one.

Ethical Choices
The insurance company where you work is planning to raise all premiums for health-care coverage. Your boss has asked you to proof a draft of her letter to customers announcing the new, higher rates. The first two paragraphs discuss some exciting medical advances and the expanded coverage offered by your company. Only in the final paragraph do customers learn that they will have to pay more for coverage starting next year. What are the ethical implications of this draft? What changes would you suggest? If your boss tells you not to make content changes, what will you do and why?
