Communications Course 634 Application

Frederic Labadie is a student with an honest interest in learning as much information about the world as possible and a “willing to try anything” disposition he is an experienced student for any class.

Labadie is quick witted, always having something to add to class discussions. “I love getting involved and talking out ideas until everyone understands,” says Labadie. He has been known to lead discussions after class outside the door. After 6 years of college he is prepared to finish on a high note.

“Frederic Labadie is one of the best students I’ve ever had; I would strongly recommend him for any class,” according to Dan Caterinicchia. Caterinicchia even offered to help Labadie publish a few of his pieces from Communications 221. Labadie is proud of his work and the knowledge he has gained from professors.

The main complaint that employers have about communication students after they graduate is that they didn’t retain the information properly. They have to put too much effort into retraining students. Labadie does not have this issue because to him the lines between work and school are blurred, as he treats school like a job and work as a learning opportunity. Labadie is ready to gain and put to use the experience he will gain from this class.
