The essay will
require students to formulate an appropriate essay question in response to
material.
Regarding the essay topic, students are indeed expected to choose their OWN TOPIC, focusing on a specific area of discourse within the broad framework of Communication and Culture. The aim is to allow students to explore an area that interests their deeply, contributing to a more engaging and insightful analysis.
To guide students topic selection, consider the key themes and discussions we have covered in the course. Think about which aspects of communication and culture resonate with you the most or where you have found intriguing ideas that warrant deeper exploration. Your chosen topic should align with the course’s objectives and should enable you to apply the theoretical and methodological concepts we have discussed.
