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 --> 00:00:21,727
and read the text files we made available on our 
platform.

4
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:24,266
This is week 6 of our course

5
00:00:24,266 --> 00:00:28,066
and as you know, we already covered everything we set out to do in the previous weeks,

6
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:33,104
discussing in a rapid pace some basic models 
and concepts, the history of our field,

7
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:38,522
the linear, construction/signification and cultural 
approaches to communication.

8
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,927
This week is an unscripted week that I want to 
use to go over some student questions.

9
00:00:45,866 --> 00:00:50,722
I received approximately 200 questions to cover 
this or that item.

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,476
Some questions were posted on our forum, 
some came through Facebook or Twitter,

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,333
even some per email, even though I hid my email address in the university database,

12
00:01:02,333 --> 00:01:04,319
you were quite adept in finding me.

13
00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:08,532
No worries, all suggestions were welcome, and I 
wish I could cover them all,

14
00:01:08,533 --> 00:01:12,604
but as every week, we only have eight short 
lectures,

15
00:01:13,066 --> 00:01:17,532
so I made a selection based on how many times a topic was requested

16
00:01:18,425 --> 00:01:21,712
and how well it fitted with our course goals.

17
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,866
One other important thing.

18
00:01:24,866 --> 00:01:30,178
I will add questions to the exam about the topics 
that I cover this week.

19
00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:33,583
So in that aspect, this week is no different than 
others.

20
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,615
We only had a few days to prepare so we have 
kept things basic this week.

21
00:01:40,292 --> 00:01:45,166
You will be seeing me some more than usual 
and we have kept the visuals simple,

22
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:50,035
but hopefully as effective and entertaining as 
before. I hope you enjoy.

23
00:01:50,466 --> 00:01:53,832
Oh, and let us know what you think of this 
week’s more lean approach.

24
00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:56,317
We are learning just like you!
