Welcome to our last week before the exam. I [br]hope you are up to speed with everything.

0:00:15.433,0:00:18.366
If not, take the time to go over the lectures you [br]missed

0:00:18.366,0:00:21.727
and read the text files we made available on our [br]platform.

0:00:22.833,0:00:24.266
This is week 6 of our course

0:00:24.266,0:00:28.066
and as you know, we already covered everything we set out to do in the previous weeks,

0:00:28.066,0:00:33.104
discussing in a rapid pace some basic models [br]and concepts, the history of our field,

0:00:33.366,0:00:38.522
the linear, construction/signification and cultural [br]approaches to communication.

0:00:39.400,0:00:44.927
This week is an unscripted week that I want to [br]use to go over some student questions.

0:00:45.866,0:00:50.722
I received approximately 200 questions to cover [br]this or that item.

0:00:51.600,0:00:56.476
Some questions were posted on our forum, [br]some came through Facebook or Twitter,

0:00:57.000,0:01:02.333
even some per email, even though I hid my email address in the university database,

0:01:02.333,0:01:04.319
you were quite adept in finding me.

0:01:04.566,0:01:08.532
No worries, all suggestions were welcome, and I [br]wish I could cover them all,

0:01:08.533,0:01:12.604
but as every week, we only have eight short [br]lectures,

0:01:13.066,0:01:17.532
so I made a selection based on how many times a topic was requested

0:01:18.425,0:01:21.712
and how well it fitted with our course goals.

0:01:22.666,0:01:24.866
One other important thing.

0:01:24.866,0:01:30.178
I will add questions to the exam about the topics [br]that I cover this week.

0:01:30.533,0:01:33.583
So in that aspect, this week is no different than [br]others.

0:01:35.200,0:01:39.615
We only had a few days to prepare so we have [br]kept things basic this week.

0:01:40.292,0:01:45.166
You will be seeing me some more than usual [br]and we have kept the visuals simple,

0:01:45.166,0:01:50.035
but hopefully as effective and entertaining as [br]before. I hope you enjoy.

0:01:50.466,0:01:53.832
Oh, and let us know what you think of this [br]week’s more lean approach.

0:01:54.679,0:01:56.317
We are learning just like you!
