Students discussed issues relating to coursework and the digital media case study before being introduced to issues relating to Section A of MEST3. Class discussion explored issues relating to the June 2010 exam paper. The main task offered to the students was a timed written response to the first two questions of Section A. The aim of this task was to develop the ability of students to identify the key moments of an unseen text and produce a precise written response that clearly confronts the specific requirements of the question.
HOMEWORK: Students should be producing coursework. Work relating to the linked production and the critical investigation should be underway. E-mail me or visit me in the department if you have any questions that relate to the construction of coursework.
Students should also be working on the digital media case study. The first draft of this essay is expected after the half-term break.
Next week students will be attempting to create a written response to question 3 of the Section A exam paper: SOME MEDIA RESEARCH HAS RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO VIOLENT IMAGES. DO YOU THINK CONTROL IS NECESSARY? YOU SHOULD REFER TO OTHER MEDIA PRODUCTS TO SUPPORT YOUR ANSWER.
Students might want to consider how they would answer this question.
