This is a really easy class. The class is pretty boring and the lectures are kind of pointless as you have to read the textbook to answer the homework questions but the quizzes are really easy and the final project is also very easy. |

Easyyyy class, no midterm or final exam (final paper instead). Homework is easy, the essays got tad annoying but they're only two pages, and she well prepares you for quizzes. Also responds to emails pretty quick. The graded assignments consist of... 1) reporting on a current event each class (literally about anything you find interesting, music, celebrity drama, inventions, global issues) but its brief I usually just prepare a few bullet points, and you won't have this assignment on a quiz day or day an essay is due. also this is a part of your discussion points. 2) discussion questions on each chapter assigned from the textbook. these are only graded for completion because they're the same questions on the quizzes, and she posts the lecture slides so you can use them to help answer. I used to read some of the chapters because they were interesting, but it's definitely skimmable. 3) three chapter quizzes, usually covering information from 4 chapters in the textbook. on review day we play a fun game where the class is divided into two teams and basically just answer review questions (the same questions on the test), no prize but good review. 4) five media journals-- these are just two page essays about a specific media (ie: newspapers, music, social media). they're easy to knock out in a few hours if you don't mind writing, and they don't really require much, if any, research, since usually they are related to you in some way. on the day the essay is due, people volunteer to read their paper for discussion points (I never volunteered but still got an A for discussion points). 5) the final paper-- 8-10 pages about a specific converged media. I felt like I was kind of rambling and the paper could have been shorter with the given topic, but you can start early if you want because she posts it and introduces it early-mid-semester. |
