The Downside of Silicon Valley Culture Discussion
Description
Creating!re media production with the aim of creatively explaining concepts and keywords (based on readings) to a wider audience. Students should produce short videos or audios (about 2 minutes) with explanations and reflections on some aspects of the readings and in-class discussions. If you are not comfortable with video or audio, you can choose another creative or artistic format. The idea here is to be creative! What did you find interesting about the readings and classes that you would like to share with a wider audience? Use office hours to discuss your ideas.
There will be two Creating assignments, with deadlines in weeks 4 and 7 (or Feb 01 and Mar 01). In the week before the deadline, there will be specific instructions on Quercus to guide in detail each of the assignments.
Specific Instructions for Creating 1 Assignment
Based on the statement above, do create a video or audio about 2 minutes explaining a concept present in the readings of weeks 2 or 3.
