ENG 255 Writing Digtl Media Criticism

This course will prepare students to evaluate and review digital media including film, television, gaming, comics, social media projects, multi-channel products, and more as they develop. The core will remain the same: understanding the standards of quality for the media platform as well as its history; mastering the rhetoric and critical insight appropriate for the target audiences; developing a firm grounding in the technical vocabulary of the genre as well as sophisticated cultural analysis. Students will be able to pivot from a capsule review to an in-depth analysis of the implicit cultural coding embedded in a product, as well as learn to present their critiques in a variety of formats (video, audio, etc.). Prerequisite: ENG 105. Offered occasionally (C2).
