organisation of the module
There will be a lecture once a week followed by a viewing session.



Course diaries should be written every week.


These should include an account
of lectures, videos, seminars, reading, web searching, television viewing
and any other experiences relevant to the course (module). These
should be both descriptive and analytical. They should embody a high
level of critical reflection on the course.

These should be edited, typed and uploaded to moodle.dcu.ie in week 13 (for weeks 1 to 12).
Some diaries from previous years may be accessed. These are only to orient you in doing your own. Don't plagiarise.
If you miss a lecture or other
element, say so and what you did to make up for it.
Do not ask for loan of videos
used it class. These will not be given out for individual viewing.
Diaries will count for 100% of the mark.
