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

00:00:15.433 --> 00:00:18.366
If not, take the time to go over the lectures you 
missed

00:00:18.366 --> 00:00:21.727
and read the text files we made available on our 
platform.

00:00:22.833 --> 00:00:24.266
This is week 6 of our course

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,

00:00:28.066 --> 00:00:33.104
discussing in a rapid pace some basic models 
and concepts, the history of our field,

00:00:33.366 --> 00:00:38.522
the linear, construction/signification and cultural 
approaches to communication.

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.

00:00:45.866 --> 00:00:50.722
I received approximately 200 questions to cover 
this or that item.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.476
Some questions were posted on our forum, 
some came through Facebook or Twitter,

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

00:01:02.333 --> 00:01:04.319
you were quite adept in finding me.

00:01:04.566 --> 00:01:08.532
No worries, all suggestions were welcome, and I 
wish I could cover them all,

00:01:08.533 --> 00:01:12.604
but as every week, we only have eight short 
lectures,

00:01:13.066 --> 00:01:17.532
so I made a selection based on how many times a topic was requested

00:01:18.425 --> 00:01:21.712
and how well it fitted with our course goals.

00:01:22.666 --> 00:01:24.866
One other important thing.

00:01:24.866 --> 00:01:30.178
I will add questions to the exam about the topics 
that I cover this week.

00:01:30.533 --> 00:01:33.583
So in that aspect, this week is no different than 
others.

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.615
We only had a few days to prepare so we have 
kept things basic this week.

00:01:40.292 --> 00:01:45.166
You will be seeing me some more than usual 
and we have kept the visuals simple,

00:01:45.166 --> 00:01:50.035
but hopefully as effective and entertaining as 
before. I hope you enjoy.

00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:53.832
Oh, and let us know what you think of this 
week’s more lean approach.

00:01:54.679 --> 00:01:56.317
We are learning just like you!
