+ | # How this class works # | ||
+ | |||
+ | This class is based on a weekly cycle we will follow for the whole semester. The steps in the weekly cycle are: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * **Eat some brain candy**. Explore the topic of the week through new media, and see how the week’s issues enter into contemporary cultures. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | |||
+ | By completing this cycle each week, you can be sure that each week builds to the next, and by the end you will have constructed an edifice of knowledge rather than collected bits and pieces of information. Also, since this class has one major research project, keeping in sync with the class will also you plan and complete the project. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this class, there are not many required readings. Although I don’t expect you to spend much time on the required reading each week, I do expect everyone to **do something for this class every week** and **do something toward your own research goal every week** for the whole semester. | ||
