Course description

Individual reading and written assignments in an area of journalism or communication applicable to student's field of study. It also provides the alternative of completing a research-oriented assignment that is both the process and the product of assessment.

This is a Level 3 course. Therefore, it is assumed that students will have either successfully completed the Level 1 and Level 2 courses in the Journalism major, or Bachelor of Communication core, or be able to demonstrate equivalent background.

This course is based on supervised self-directed learning. It provides an opportunity to undertake a project in an area of special interest, and to explore issues related to journalism and communication, drawing on the theoretical and practical experiences gained while studying these fields. Through this course students will have the opportunity to think, discuss, analyse and undertake a project on issues relating to journalism and/or communication.
