00:00:10,566 --> 00:00:15,432
Welcome to our last week before the exam. I 
hope you are up to speed with everything.

2
00:00:15,433 --> 00:00:18,366
If not, take the time to go over the lectures you 
missed

3
00:00:18,366 --> 00:00:22,066
and read the text files we made available on our 
platform.

4
00:00:22,066 --> 00:00:22,832


5
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:24,266
This is week 6 of our course.

6
00:00:24,266 --> 00:00:28,066
As you know we already covered everything we 
set out to do in the previous weeks,

7
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:33,366
discussing in a rapid pace some basic models 
and concepts, the history of our field,

8
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:39,399
the linear, construction/signification and cultural 
approaches to communication.

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,866
This week is an unscripted week that I want to 
use to go over some student questions.

10
00:00:45,866 --> 00:00:51,599
I received approximately 200 questions to cover 
this or that item.

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Some questions were posted on our forum, 
some came through Facebook or Twitter.

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,333
Even some per email, even though I temporarily 
hid my email address in the university database,

13
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:04,566
you were quite adept in finding me.

14
00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:08,532
No worries, all suggestions were welcome, and I 
wish I could cover them all,

15
00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:13,066
but as every week, we only have eight short 
lectures,

16
00:01:13,066 --> 00:01:17,532
so I’ve made a selection based on how many 
times a topic was requested

17
00:01:17,533 --> 00:01:22,666
and how well it fitted with our course goals.

18
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,866
One other important thing.

19
00:01:24,866 --> 00:01:30,532
I will add questions to the exam about the topics 
that I cover this week.

20
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:35,199
So in that aspect, this week is no different than 
others.

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,800
We only had a few days to prepare so we have 
kept things basic this week.

22
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,166
You will be seeing me some more than usual 
and we have kept the visuals simple,

23
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:50,466
but hopefully as effective and entertaining as 
before. I hope you enjoy.

24
00:01:50,466 --> 00:01:53,832
Oh, and let us know what you think of this 
week’s more lean approach.

25
00:01:53,833 --> 00:01:56,533
We are learning just like you!
