About a week ago, I wrote:
Speaking of classes, I’m taking six this semester (calculus, physics, engineering graphics, philosophy, computer science, and an unorthodox politics class). As time goes on, I’ll give some more details.
My favorite class this semester, by far, is a course I’m taking called New Media, New Politics?
The premise of the class is to monitor prominent online blogs’ coverage of the 2008 Presidential election and write blog posts tracking changes, themes, or interesting elements of those blogs’ coverage. Needless to say, add politics and social media together and I’m captivated.
I fully encourage you to subscribe to the class blog. You may learn something. So far, I’ve written one post, but I’ll be writing many more in the weeks ahead, especially as we get closer and closer to the election.
