This course will cover themes such as social media, influencers, artificial intelligence, the representation of women in advertising, and we will examine how these relate to society as a whole. Students will improve their essay writing skills in this course. Particular focus will be given to the micro and macro skills of essay development such as topic sentences and idea development, and by the end of the course students will be able to analyse, discuss, and describe contemporary media trends. You will receive feedback on your writing. You are expected to produce a process writing assignment, a presentation (on a topic of your choice), and you will be assessed in a final exam. Students are also expected to contribute to class discussions as part of the course.
