COM 215 [WI] Communication Resources for Media Studies 3.0 Credits
The powerful combination of internet and video technologies has led to a kind of revolution in how humans express and share their experiences. This course provides a grounding in how this communication revolution involves new forms of meaning making resources that tap into the combination of text, image, and sound, and their circulation in contemporary life. Each week involves the study of a major approach to theorizing and interpreting media and its messages. By developing a final longer piece of their own, students generate more overt awareness of how persuasion, interpretation, and analysis function in mediated and multimodal messages.
