Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hosek, Angela M.; Titsworth, Scott – Communication Education, 2016
Millennial students are immersed in a digital world governed by codes and scripts. Coders create programs from scratch.

Alternatively, scripting uses programing environments (or middleware) in which combinations of stock commands are used. Many applications…

AE has become…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

McAllum, Kirstie – Communication Education, 2016
Millennial students often exhibit symptoms of imposter syndrome or a deep-seated insecurity that one is not sufficiently capable of carrying out the task at hand, often masking their anxiety of being exposed as intellectual frauds through what Pedler (2011) calls "over-compensating" or "fronting it out" (p. 90).

Buckner, Marjorie M.; Strawser, Michael G. – Communication Education, 2016
As opposed to the "place where you were forced to consider new ideas, to meet new people, to ask new questions, and to learn to think, to socialize, to imagine" (Fitzgerald, 2012, p. 20), millennial students view college as a financial rather than philosophical training ground (Berrett, 2015). Unfortunately, this perspective…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Frey, T. Kody; Tatum, Nicholas T. – Communication Education, 2016
Popular culture is all too familiar with the notion of the helicopter parent. This suffocating sheltering extends students' adolescence and delays the development of independence (Price, 2010), causing millennials to rely on their parents for financial stability (White, 2015) and emotional support (Raphelson, 2014). Even in the midst of…
