Comments for Module: This module sounds interesting and does have some interesting content but it is structured poorly. On sundays, we submit discussion question for readings (to ensure we do them), on tuesdays we go through the readings in the lecture and in tutorials, groups present on the readings. So the readings are done 3 times which is very repetitive. I feel that the module lacks depth, and is simply a regurgitation of the reading. The are an average of 2 readings per week of mostly research paper and I find that its an ineffective way of bringing across the topics for the module. Research paper only sheds light on a particular aspect of a topic, so its not very exhaustive. I wish the lectures and tutorial added more value to the content rather than going through the readings over and over again. It was an 8am lecture and I couldn’t find the motivation to go for lectures when I already did the readings….
Rating for Module: 2
Comments for Lecturer: She’s very friendly but her accent is quite thick. Video example she shows in lecture are very outdated (2008 seems like a few years ago but its actually 8 years ago and technology has changed drastically over the years) and she is not very in touch with technology today. She is pretty focused on the theory aspects and does not account for the changing new media climate which is disappointing.
