Final Exam Criteria

our courses’ FINAL EXAM, which is worth 20% of your

final grade.

 Format: 5-page paper (double spaced, 1-inch margins

size).

 Do not go under 5 pages; do not go past the 5th

page.

informative, research-based middle/body, and a

strong conclusion, write a 5-page paper discussing

Technology in the Sports Communication World.

 (continued on next slide)

Final Exam Criteria (cont.)  The world of sports communications continues to explode more and

more with each passing year (and every month-to-month).

Technological advances and innovations are critical to the success of

nearly everyone’s job in the sports industry, which in turn leads to the

success of the team, league or organization.

 Pick a technological, device, tool, or initiative and discuss how it

makes the job of a Sports Communication Director/VP of Marketing

easier and more streamlined.

 Please cite your examples and references – both from the textbook, as

well as the Internet (website sources must be reliable ones. If you’re in

doubt, contact me to vet the source).

 Quotes from personnel within the industry – either those who created it

and/or those who use it – should be included in your paper, too.

Remember – harkening back to our module on Sports Journalism and

Writing, giving your article quotes, adds backbone and supports your

theory/stance on a topic.

 As you can see, this should be a hybrid of a research-based approach

to writing, as well as infusing the paper with what you see as the most

critical and popular tech today.

 Please email me with any questions you have regarding the Final

Exam. (including if you’re unsure if your paper’s topic qualifies).

 Good luck!
