CM 460 Senior Seminar I
This course is an overview of the methods and principles of systematic inquiry in the field of communications. It develops a discrete model of the disciplines as a humanistic field by examining communications as a human science (consisting of hermeneutics, phenomenology, structuralism, ethnography, rhetoric and dramaturgy). It shows how communications employs such social science research methods as content analysis, survey research, field research and experimental research to establish critical contextualization. Besides introductory readings, it includes critiques of published studies. The course prepares the way for the required Capstone course, CM 490 .
Prerequisite: CM 325 .
