The Tuesday session considered contemporary media issues and debates and looked at a couple of the questions that I expect you to answer as part of your case study. All the questions that you need to peruse for the CASE STUDY - or essay- can be found on the blog entry below:

Students need to produce an essay in response to one of the questions.
The Friday session was the horror of a timed essay. The first question was a Section A question:
How is digital media represented in these two texts?

The extended question was a mixture of Section A Q3 and a Section B Impact of Digital Media Question:
'The idea that digital media empowers is a myth'.
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
I am concerned that students seem to be resting and are being intellectually lazy as the class need to be using this period of the course to be collecting research material that will allow students to produce a detailed media response to the exam. I am tired of reading essays that are regurgitating the same digital examples to illustrate critical argument. The aim of this timed essay is to see who is actually bothering to research new material and who is capable of constructing an evaluative critical response. I am worried that too many students are sleep-walking through this section of the course when this is the time when you need to be most intellectually alert.
HOMEWORK: So far I have one Case Study. I want the rest sent to me before Monday. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF WORK.
ALL STUDENTS NEED TO ATTEMPT A CASE STUDY. ABSENCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR MISSING WORK. So please don't turn up next week and insult my intelligence.
