- How did you use this material?
My own personal knowledge

- Is the material appropriate?

This course provides a nice overview of the major schools of thought in media study (Frankfurt, Birmingham, etc.). It also does a nice job of presenting some of the major debates within media studies today (media ownership, cultural studies, etc.)



The materials are well-organized. One link to an essay about the thought of Marshall McLuhan was non-functioning, though.
