Communication Theory

A Communication Theory Teacher takes you through the major theories of human communication — what makes a theory good, the seven traditions, interpersonal, group and organizational theories, persuasion, media effects, and culture and identity — by showing each one at work in everyday life. They explain theories in plain words, coach application papers and readings, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Media Law & Ethics

A Media Law & Ethics Teacher takes you through the law and ethics of communication — the First Amendment, prior restraint, defamation, privacy, copyright and fair use, access to information, the regulation of broadcast, advertising and online speech, and the ethics codes of journalism and public relations — by teaching the reasoning behind the landmark cases. They coach case briefs and ethics analyses and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor, your school or a lawyer.

Persuasion & Argumentation

A Persuasion & Argumentation Teacher takes you through how arguments are built and how persuasion works — claims, evidence and reasoning, the Toulmin model, fallacies, persuasion theories, credibility and emotion, audience analysis, debate and the ethics of influence. They analyze persuasive texts with you, coach speeches, essays and debate cases, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Organizational Communication

An Organizational Communication Teacher takes you through how communication shapes organizations — classical, human relations, systems, cultural and critical approaches, socialization, leadership, teams, conflict, diversity, technology and change — by applying each theory to real workplaces. They explain theories, coach case analyses, papers and communication audits, and build practice and exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Journalism & News Writing

A Journalism & News Writing Teacher takes you through reporting and writing the news — news values, the inverted pyramid, ledes and nut grafs, quotes and attribution, AP style, interviewing, verification, beat and meeting stories, features, digital and broadcast writing, and media law and ethics. They edit your drafts like a kind editor, coach interviews and ethics calls, and build practice and deadline plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.
