As explained above, the purpose of this course is to experience the high-level, or graduate-level, practice of academic, constructive discussion based on reading of as much quality English-language literature on journalism and mass media studies as possible.
To achieve the goal, participants must read all assigned materials in advance, a few chosen presenters summarize and extend the reading assignments, and then conduct class discussion.
Since the course design and schedule may vary depending on the number of participants, make sure to attend the first session in which the instructor will explain details. Those who missed the first session cannot get registered. The number of participants may be limited if too many appear.
The instructor will provide feedbacks and answers to questions during each session.

Summing up

Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)

All participants must conduct sufficient preparatory as well as follow-up study in order to successfully earn credits for this course. Roughly speaking, approximately two hours of study will be needed both before and after each session, but the amount may increase for some participants as this course requires a relatively high level of English skills.

Textbooks

The instructor will provide reading assignments for each session.

References

Besides reading assignments provided by the instructor, participants must collect and read additional reference materials for discussion.

Grading criteria

The final grade will be determined by the following factors: class activities including discussion (90%) and others (10%).
 Participants will be graded not by exams, but by class activities including discussion. Participants must understand that mere attendance is far from enough to earn credits. Highly motivated class participation is imperative.

Changes following student comments

The instructor will take full consideration of any constructive comments and opinions of participants.
