Best Ideas in the Teaching of Communication Law and Policy: 2010 Competition Results

The Law and Policy Division sponsored its second-year teaching ideas competition. Submissions were judged based on creativity, innovation, practicality and overall value in teaching communication law and policy to our students.

Winning submissions will receive a certificate and a cash prize -- $100 for first prize; $75 for second prize; and $50 for third prize -- and will be recognized during our AEJMC convention business meeting.

Experiential learning turned out to be the biggest theme of our second-year teaching ideas competition. Here are the winning ideas for 2010:

First place: "First Amendment Project" by Jim Sernoe (Associate Professor, Midwestern State University)

Second place: "Creative Finals: Something to Chew On" by Dinah Zeiger (Assistant Professor, University of Idaho)

Third place: "You Be the Judge: Teaching Privacy Law Through Classroom Participation" by Susan Keith (Assistant Professor, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey)

I would like to thank everyone who submitted a teaching idea and judges who reviewed the submissions!
