Communication skills and theory are often taught
by departments other than MIS.  At ISU, we even allow
them to be electives.

More importantly, the way in which some classes are
taught reinforces those concepts.  Some of our classes
have stronmg requirements for team presentations and
team writing and development.  As our labs catch up
with the 1990's, more team-oriented work will be done
using groupware CASE and database tools.

We see communication as something that is required all
the time rather than a separate course.  I do grade
my students' reports on "beauty" and presentation as
well as on content.
