  websites. We'll talk about theory.

• 03:18 - 03:21

  We just started slash talking about media theory that I

• 03:21 - 03:22

  really think matters to us.

• 03:22 - 03:24

  Signify, um, signs.

• 03:25 - 03:28

  And all of those ideas will also talk about identity

• 03:28 - 03:30

  So we'll be looking at all of those topics.

• 03:48 - 03:49

  Some of them are listed here.

• 03:50 - 03:53

  My grandchildren, 2020 elections and so on and so forth.

• 03:55 - 03:57

  I really encourage you to take a look at the

• 03:58 - 03:59

  full syllabus, which is already posted on blackboard.

• 04:00 - 04:02

  Because there you have a complete outline of topics.

• 04:03 - 04:03

  The course description.

• 04:04 - 04:07

  Everything is way more thorough than what I'm doing here

• 04:07 - 04:10

  in this short video to give you a quick overview,

• 04:11 - 04:12

  required readings and all your visual assignments.

• 04:13 - 04:16

  This matters because we'll have movies that are sometimes waited.

• 04:17 - 04:19

  And I know some of you like to wash them

• 04:19 - 04:21

  with your family, friends and whatever.

• 04:22 - 04:24

  Just take a look to make sure this is a

• 04:24 - 04:26

  nada quite video to share.

• 04:26 - 04:29

  I strongly suggest that he used the benefit of being

• 04:29 - 04:32

  a live in college student who has free access to

• 04:32 - 04:35

  The New York Times Online to re every morning.

  It's like 34 minutes and you're up to date with

• 04:43 - 04:44

  the news every day.

• 04:44 - 04:46

  And these really matters for this class and for your

• 04:46 - 04:50

  lives. I have, ah, broadcast diet because I love what

• 04:50 - 04:54

  guests. So every morning I listen to up first NPR

• 04:54 - 04:56

  spot casts, and I listened to the Day The New

• 04:56 - 04:56

  York Times.

• 04:57 - 04:59

  I have a bunch of other bought guests that I

• 04:59 - 05:01

  love, and I've also least of them in this little

• 05:01 - 05:03

  bit. So take a look there if you are about

• 05:04 - 05:05

  castle, ever as I am.

• 05:05 - 05:07

  If not, try them.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  It's really cool, especially if you're walking around the city

• 05:10 - 05:12

  taking the subway, driving your car.

• 05:12 - 05:15

  It's a good thing to listen to podcasts on off

• 05:16 - 05:17

  course everything there.

• 05:17 - 05:20

  No textbooks for this last, everything is on the blackboard

• 05:21 - 05:23

  posted there under the week by week section.

• 05:23 - 05:27

  I really am very obsessively organized.

• 05:27 - 05:30

  So everything is there and you see every step of

• 05:30 - 05:32

  the way you just leap Week one and you know

• 05:32 - 05:34

  what to do week to and you know what to

• 05:34 - 05:38

  do. Okay, um, now, let's jump to the grating policy.

• 05:39 - 05:40

  The core of your grade.

• 05:41 - 05:43

  The most important part of it comes from the discussion,

• 05:44 - 05:46

  for you have weekly posts and weekly replies.

• 05:47 - 05:51

  So you should write a post 300 words and posted

• 05:52 - 05:54

  every Wednesday by 11 59.

• 05:54 - 05:55

  I'll raise a question.

• 05:56 - 05:57

  I'll ask you to do something.

• 05:57 - 05:58

  You just follow that.

• 05:59 - 06:02

  Then by Friday, you have to reply to those ideas.

• 06:03 - 06:05

  But reply to your friends posts.

• 06:05 - 06:07

  Okay, I'll go in that on that later.

• 06:08 - 06:11

  But it's worth telling you that this is 40% of

• 06:11 - 06:13

  your great and you don't have to be Shakespeare.

• 06:14 - 06:15

  You don't have to ride beautifully.

• 06:16 - 06:18

  No, just right post.

• 06:18 - 06:19

  Follow the guidelines.

• 06:19 - 06:23

  Meet the deadline because, like for shuts down when the

• 06:23 - 06:26

  blag the bed liner writes, there's no second chance.

• 06:27 - 06:30

  Ah, but trying to post because this is guaranteed a

• 06:30 - 06:32

  ZX long as you do that you have 40% of

• 06:33 - 06:33

  your grade period.

• 06:34 - 06:35

  You should don't do it.

• 06:35 - 06:36

  However you get zero.

• 06:37 - 06:38

  You don't get any great.

• 06:38 - 06:39

  This is faster.

• 06:39 - 06:40

  Failed. Something like that.

• 06:41 - 06:41

  Great. No.

• 06:42 - 06:42

  Great. Okay.

• 06:42 - 06:43

  Credit. No credit.

• 06:43 - 06:46

  So just do it and you're you'll be fine.

• 06:46 - 06:48

  Don't do it and you're in trouble.

• 06:49 - 06:53

  Okay? Second, part of your great first paper is a

• 06:53 - 06:56

  off ad, which means it's an opinionated article.

• 06:56 - 06:59

  It's something we don't usually do here in college, but

• 07:00 - 07:01

  you will try to do that.

• 07:01 - 07:05

  You view off course, have to use a lot of

• 07:05 - 07:07

  information and references to support your opinion.

• 07:08 - 07:09

  But it's about what you think.

• 07:09 - 07:12

  You can use the first person races, and I'll go

• 07:12 - 07:13

  in that about that, too.

• 07:14 - 07:17

  But it's due in October October 9, and then you

• 07:17 - 07:18

  have a final paper.

• 07:18 - 07:20

  This is 25% of your great, by the way, the

• 07:20 - 07:21

  final papers.

• 07:21 - 07:24

  35% of your great due in December December 18th.

• 07:25 - 07:28

  And it's a story, a regular journalism piece.

• 07:29 - 07:31

  And it's a story a little longer than that one

• 07:32 - 07:33

  in which you interview people.

• 07:34 - 07:35

  You maybe take pictures.

• 07:36 - 07:36

  You're right.

• 07:36 - 07:37

  Awful story.

• 07:37 - 07:41

  So by the time the the assignments are getting closer,

• 07:41 - 07:44

  the due date is getting closer out to other videos

• 07:44 - 07:47

  explaining them, and I would spend them of briefing later.

• 07:48 - 07:49

  But another thing.

• 07:49 - 07:49

  Extra credit.

• 07:50 - 07:53

  This is really important if you have perfect attendance attendance

• 07:54 - 07:56

  in this class because it's a line is the discussion

• 07:56 - 07:59

  board. So if you ride every single week, every post,

• 08:00 - 08:02

  any comment on two of your friends supposed Every single

• 08:03 - 08:04

  week. You have an extra credit.

• 08:05 - 08:05

  Is this perfect attendance?

• 08:06 - 08:07

  Good for you.

• 08:07 - 08:11

  So besides the 40% who also have extra credit, I

• 08:11 - 08:14

  plan on having a few virtual actress while this semester.

• 08:15 - 08:16

  And I'll let you know if we do.

• 08:16 - 08:18

  If you attend them and you write a little bit

• 08:18 - 08:21

  about it on blackboard, you also have an extra credit.

• 08:22 - 08:23

  But I don't know how many we're gonna have, so

• 08:24 - 08:26

  don't count on that too much.

• 08:26 - 08:30

  Okay? As I said before, no late assignments and everything

• 08:31 - 08:32

  should be posted on blackboard.

• 08:33 - 08:34

  Don't send me your posts.

• 08:34 - 08:37

  Don't send me your papers because they're viruses.

• 08:37 - 08:39

  Sometimes I don't receive that.

• 08:39 - 08:40

  And this is problematic.

• 08:40 - 08:41

  So trust blackboard.

• 08:42 - 08:43

  Make sure it's there.

• 08:43 - 08:45

  Make sure you did it if you didn't.

• 08:46 - 08:48

  If you're having trouble, contact i t.

• 08:48 - 08:51

  But this is our source of communication in terms of

• 08:51 - 08:55

  assignments. OK, so let's jump to our next step, which

• 08:56 - 08:56

  is a sentence.

• 08:57 - 09:00

  So as I said, 40% of your grades come grade

• 09:00 - 09:03

  comes from the weekly posts do on when it stays

• 09:04 - 09:08

  300 words, always by 11:59 p.m. And then you should

• 09:09 - 09:12

  reply to two off your friends posts by Friday, 11

• 09:13 - 09:17

  59. Each reply should have 100 words about the replies.

• 09:17 - 09:19

  You can replied more people than that.

• 09:19 - 09:21

  If you want to free to do that, it's a

• 09:21 - 09:22

  sharing vermin.

• 09:23 - 09:24

  That's what we're supposed to do there.

• 09:25 - 09:27

  But it's very important that you add to the discussion.

• 09:27 - 09:29

  Is that of saying, Ho Jo, I love what?

• 09:30 - 09:30

  You're sad.

• 09:30 - 09:33

  Good. You did great that that shoes list.

• 09:33 - 09:34

  That's nothing.

• 09:34 - 09:36

  So what you should do is well built on, Watches

• 09:37 - 09:39

  said. I also think that this and this is a

• 09:39 - 09:40

  good art, well done.

• 09:41 - 09:43

  But I think that you should include this.

• 09:43 - 09:46

  Is this or by the way, did you know that

• 09:46 - 09:47

  X percent off Ladder nags?

• 09:48 - 09:48

  Do this?

• 09:48 - 09:48

  This and that.

• 09:49 - 09:51

  So add to the discussion in your life.

• 09:52 - 09:56

  Okay, 2nd 25% of your great first paper off add

• 09:56 - 09:58

  do at due October 9th.

• 09:59 - 10:00

  Uh, and this has a topic.

• 10:01 - 10:05

  It's Latino media and stereotypes, so the topic is given,

• 10:06 - 10:08

  and you just should stretch it a little bit.

• 10:08 - 10:10

  Ask yourself what you know about that and can use

• 10:10 - 10:12

  the sources that are offered in the syllabus.

• 10:13 - 10:16

  We're gonna read one chapter about that, so feel free

• 10:16 - 10:18

  to do that for the final paper however we don't

• 10:18 - 10:21

  have is a redefined topic.

• 10:21 - 10:23

  We have to talk and define what's gonna be a

• 10:23 - 10:24

  topic off your baby.

• 10:24 - 10:27

  Okay, so if you have an idea, let me know.

• 10:27 - 10:27

  Reach out.

• 10:28 - 10:31

  Reach out as Souness today, if you want, or later

• 10:31 - 10:33

  in the semester to talk about ideas off topics.

• 10:34 - 10:36

  And this is a full journalists and story just like

• 10:36 - 10:38

  the ones you read when you're reading the post.

• 10:38 - 10:42

  The times uh, the I O no matter what you

• 10:42 - 10:46

  read, this is a foremost story with pictures with interviews,

• 10:46 - 10:49

  and it's it's a I promise it's a joy to

• 10:50 - 10:50

  do that.

• 10:50 - 10:52

  It's a good exercise for the end of the semester,

• 10:53 - 10:57

  so let's go to our next step, which is topping.

• 10:58 - 11:00

  So what we're gonna talk about So we have 14

• 11:00 - 11:01

  weeks. It's a long semester.

• 11:02 - 11:04

  I am only sharing a few of those, But if

• 11:04 - 11:06

  you look at the syllables, you already have all the

• 11:06 - 11:09

  readings, a few of the videos and that on blackboard.

• 11:09 - 11:13

  Under week by week, you're gonna see every step of

• 11:13 - 11:15

  the way for each off the weeks.

• 11:15 - 11:17

  Okay, So the topics are outlined like that for Week

• 11:17 - 11:21

• 11:27 - 11:29

  Then we have a video because it's the first week.

• 11:30 - 11:32

  So it's gonna be shorter than for the second week.

  We're gonna talk about the war of words, identity and

• 11:35 - 11:38

  perceptions. And we're going to read that chapter that I

  We read a report because as journalists and asked consumers

• 12:01 - 12:01

  off news.

• 12:01 - 12:04

  Sometimes I have to go to the source to understand

• 12:04 - 12:05

  what this is about.

• 12:05 - 12:06

  This is a different report.

• 12:06 - 12:07

  It's a nice one.

• 12:07 - 12:10

  Lots of pictures and graphs, and it's a pleasure to
