Senior Seminar

Catalog description

In this course, students use skills learned in other Visual and Sound Media courses – the ability to read critically, write persuasively, and research effectively – to pursue a larger research project. As such, Senior Seminar-Radio/TV is both a synthesis (in that it asks students to draw on knowledge from other classes) and introduction (in that it introduces students to ways that scholars craft compelling, original essays). Students will write a major research paper on social, cultural, or institutional aspects of television or radio.
