Welcome to our last week before the exam. I hope you are up to speed with everything.
If not, take the time to go over the lectures you missed
and read the text files we made available on our platform.
This is week 6 of our course
and as you know, we already covered everything we set out to do in the previous weeks,
discussing in a rapid pace some basic models and concepts, the history of our field,
the linear, construction/signification and cultural approaches to communication.
This week is an unscripted week that I want to use to go over some student questions.
I received approximately 200 questions to cover this or that item.
Some questions were posted on our forum, some came through Facebook or Twitter,
even some per email, even though I hid my email address in the university database,
you were quite adept in finding me.
No worries, all suggestions were welcome, and I wish I could cover them all,
but as every week, we only have eight short lectures,
so I made a selection based on how many times a topic was requested
and how well it fitted with our course goals.
One other important thing.
I will add questions to the exam about the topics that I cover this week.
So in that aspect, this week is no different than others.
We only had a few days to prepare so we have kept things basic this week.
You will be seeing me some more than usual and we have kept the visuals simple,
but hopefully as effective and entertaining as before. I hope you enjoy.
Oh, and let us know what you think of this week’s more lean approach.
We are learning just like you!
