Class Details

Teaching Mode

Lecture (24 hours):

As a critique-based programme, a lecture-preview reading assignment is given for each lecture. It consists of a small portion of the reading that will serve as a quick yet crucial introduction to the lecture. Students are required to do the reading before the lecture.

Tutorial Discussions (6 hours):

Tutorials will be held to allow students to discuss and to interact with the materials covered in the lectures in more depth. Students will also be required to participate in group activities and presentations to encourage their own critical thinking and engagement with the issues encountered in the course. Students will have to do assigned readings for tutorial discussion and presentations.

Workshops (6 hours):

6 practical workshops will be held to allow students to develop the needed skills in order to facilitate the production of two new media projects, which require students to do extensive individual research after class.
