The focus of this course is to expose students to a variety of media formats while helping to develop an informed and critical understanding of the nature of new and traditional media, and how the media, in turn, construct our every day reality in ways that are social, cultural, psychological and political. Strategies of how to access, recognize, interpret, analyze, evaluate, utilize, and create all forms of media will also be explored. Students will research, discuss, speak and write while becoming critical thinkers and viewers of various forms of media. Requirements will include weekly readings and viewings along with production of a number of media-based projects.
