Note: If you are sick, please don't come to class. In deference to keeping you motivated to REST, I am dropping 2 class participation marks for everyone (i.e., the "total" class base I am working on is 2 fewer. If you miss twice, you will not lose participation points).

Welcome!

Welcome to our class wiki. We will be using this wiki as a an interactive class website, editable by you! See the main list of course pages in the sidebar to the right for the syllabus, information on assignments, and readings.

NOTE: You will receive automatic emailed updates whenever someone changes a page. You can deactivate these emails by going to the Settings options, top right of the page.

Note that you can leave comments on the bottom of any page - please feel free to do so! You can also edit any of the pages on this site, although I ask you do so responsibly***. Class members have "Writer" level permission on the site, which means you can edit pages and revert pages to previous versions. You can also upload new files and create new pages. On a page you want to edit, click the Edit tab, and simply type, format, delete, etc. Note that you can use most HTML by clicking the Source button in the Edit view.

This wiki is only viewable by this class. This means that under Fair Use, you may post copyrighted images and limited texts here, in, for example, your presentation materials. However, do not consider this space extremely secure; do not post here sensitive information such as passwords.

Need help? The PBworks Manual and 30-second training videos can help show you how to edit, add videos and more. 

What this class is about

This upper level course explores the structures, institutions, cultures, and impacts of digital communication technologies. Through lectures, class discussions, homework assignments, and group research projects, students will develop an understanding of the major social issues in this area. Students are expected to gain a greater appreciation of the relations between science, technology, economics, culture and law in the field of communication as a result of their participation in the course.
