Television Today

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces students to current debates about television and its role in contemporary culture. We will emphasize the manner in which programs develop narratives (episodically, serially, in story arcs) and the manner in which they are received (weekly, binge watching). Subscription fees for online content providers may be required. Credit will be granted for only one of ENGL 258 or ENGL 297 offered in 2016-2017. Prerequisite: ENGL 100 or 111 or equivalent. Three credits.
