<jats:p> This study examined two sections of “Reporting and Writing I.” One taught writing for text and broadcast concurrently, whereas the other taught these skills sequentially. A student survey found a strong preference for learning subjects sequentially. Outside evaluators assessing final stories rated text projects from students taught sequentially slightly higher than text stories from students taught concurrently, but rated broadcast stories from students taught concurrently slightly higher than broadcast stories from students taught sequentially. </jats:p>
