Description

Critics can learn much by explaining and defending their critiques to others. This course aims to provide a unique opportunity for students, not only to critique mediated communication for themselves, but also to engage students at the Universidat di Aruba in a dialogue about their judgments.

Specifically, the exchange aims to demonstrate for both sets of students how mediated communication is generated within the context of specific communities, with their own values and connections, and must be analyzed accordingly.

Throughout the course, students will be engaged in the process of criticism -- the practice of constructing, refining, and exploring critical questions about mediated communication.
