Yet, the age of mass media has seemingly robbed the public sphere of this critical capacity. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, the Media & Democracy course will examine this trend in media, as well as the emergence of new information and communication technologies that might reinvigorate an informed and engaged democratic citizenry. We will seek to answer the question, Is new media technology a democratizing force and, if so, to what extent? The Great Works Symposium: Mission The Great Works Symposium is an interdisciplinary coursefocused on exploring subjects of the broadest possible interest and greatest societal impactdesigned to bring 91Ƭ students, teachers, and visiting expert lecturers into collaboration. The Great Works Symposium strives to avoid the textbook approach, with an emphasis on developing in students the active skills of interdisciplinary inquiry: reading, writing, critical thinking, methodological creativity, and argument. Through an intense examination of one topic, students are encouraged to see the University as an interconnected enterprise, and to imagine the University as one part of a larger spectrum of scholars in the communities of the city, the nation, and the world. Days/Times Lectures: Thursdays, 6:00-7:20 p.m. Sections: Thursdays, 7:30-8:50 p.m. Instructors, Contacts, Office Hours Kevin Egan Email:  HYPERLINK "mailto:kde25@drexel.edu" kde25@drexel.edu Phone: 215-895-0457 Office: 211 Hagerty Library Office Hours: Wednesdays, 1:30-4:30; and meetings by appointment Scott Knowles Email:  HYPERLINK "mailto:sgk23@drexel.edu" sgk23@drexel.edu Texts This course has no assigned textbooks; students will read articles and other selected sources related to course topics. Assigned readings will be made available either on course reserves or directly on the web. A reading schedule will be assigned and students must keep up with all assignments. The instructors may add supplemental readings as the course progresses. Assignments and Grades Class Participation (including weekly reaction/discussion papers): 30% Mid-Term Exam: 30% Term Project: 40% This will be a very ACTIVE class! Participation comprises a large proportion of your grade. Please attend every lecture and every section/workshop meeting. Come to class having completed the reading assignments, prepared to meet research goals, and ready to take part. This will result in your getting the most possible from the course, and it will create a dynamic classroom environment. You will be evaluated with these expectations in mind. Your class participation grade will be determined in part by your attendance and your role in section/workshop discussion. Additionally, for the first six weekly guest lectures (Weeks 2-7), you will be required to submit a brief (about a paragraph in length) reaction paper consisting of questions and/or specific talking points related to the weeks topic and readings. These questions/talking points should be typewritten and double spaced, and they should reflect your preparation for the weeks discussion. Please submit your questions to your instructor no later than 10:00 a.m. on Thursdays. You are to use these as the basis for the Q&A and discussion section during these weeks. At mid term you will complete an exam that will evaluate your completion and comprehension of assigned readings, and your understanding of material presented in lectures, panel discussions, and section meetings. The format will be written (essay/ID), and topics will be distributed during week 4. The exam will be due in class during week 5. The last date on which a student may withdraw from the course is May 8. Therefore, students who score below a grade of 70 on this exam, or miss it for any unexcused reason will be expected to drop the course. For a good portion of the second half of the course students will work together as a class towards completion of a major term project. Students will choose an area of interest among the major themes under examination in the course; they will then choose a proper format for the project. The goal is to make use of new media, information, and communication technologies in presenting the information that has been gathered. It is strongly encouraged that students take advantage of multiple formats, and link them together within one overall project. For example, as a class, students could create a website educating others about the democratic potential of new media sources. Within that project, smaller groups can create material to embed in or link to that site. Formats include (but are not limited to): additional web pages, teaching modules/webinars, video presentations/documentaries, audio commentary/podcasts, research papers, etc. In collaboration with the group, students will research, write, and submit their work for publication by the close of the term. The class will need to start thinking about the scope and direction of this project early on; individual groups will meet in weeks 7-9 with course instructors and with expert workshop facilitators to develop their ideas and craft their contributions to the final project. You will present your project in Week Ten of the course. Though a significant portion of your grade on this project will be earned individually, the group dynamic is expected to push you to produce the most interesting and rigorous possible research effort. COURSE POLICIES AND GRADES Policies and Conduct Consult the syllabus frequently in order to keep up with scheduled speakers, section meetings, readings, and assignment deadlines. Keeping up with the assignment schedule is your responsibility. We will make all take-home exam assignments available to you in plenty of time for successful completion. As a rule we do not accept late exams or other assignments for any reason other than excused, documented absences. It will be your responsibility to make certain that the instructor receives a hard copy of any excused absence documentation. Leaving town for work, or having a busy week are understandable facts of life, but they do not comprise excused absences from class. Please arrive to guest lectures and discussion sections on time, stay for the entire period, and display professional conduct at all times. Cell phones must be turned off, laptops must be used only for taking notes during class timethese rules will be strictly enforced. All excused schedule conflicts must be submitted to your section instructor, in writing, by the end of the first week of the term. Make-up assignments are only offered in the case of documented, excused absences. Excused absences include illness, religious observances, and documented university extra-curricular events. No extensions or incompletes will be offered in this course. If a student has unfinished coursework at the end of the term due to a documented, excused absence, the instructor will assign the grade earned to that pointthe student will then have two weeks from the last day of the term to complete any missing work, and the instructor may at that time submit a change of grade form. It is the responsibility of the student to be on the class e-mail list, and to be aware of e-mail updates from the instructors. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that she/he is marked present on roll sheets. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain all reading updates, sample exam questions, take-home exams, and any other materials handed out in class. The instructors reserve the right to amend this syllabus in any way necessary for the benefit of the class.
