ENGL 15: Creating a “Year in Review” Retrospective Podcast and Video
Dr. Peter Froehlich and Dr. Maggie Froehlich assign one podcast and one video in their four sections of English 15 taught at Hazleton.
The podcast is a podcast narrative highlighting a year in American history (post 1945) of the students choosing. For the video, the students were put into groups by era (e.g. the early 1990s) to create a 10-minute video narrative based on their combined years.

MKTG 220: An Introduction to Selling Techniques
The students are required to turn in a proposal for the product they are intending to sell, within the first 5 weeks of class. Once this is approved they draft a paper that is written for the buyer of their product. From this paper, the script for their video is created and shooting takes place during the last month of class, making their video the capstone project for the class.
