          BRAIN,  MIND,  COMPUTER  (David  G.  Hays)  This course
     surveys the accomplishments of  cognitive  science,  drawing
     facts  and  ideas  from  psychology,  anthropology, computer
     science, neuroscience, and several other fields.   What  are
     the  processes  of  rational  thought?    How  is  knowledge
     represented in the brain? How  is  emotion  involved?    The
     course   delves  into  such  activities  as  perception  and
     language, develops a unifying theory of  cognition  and  its
     expression  in  media,  and concludes with a critique of the
     "mind-body" problem.
 
          DEMOCRACY AND THE 21ST CENTURY (Donald   B.     Straus)
     This  course  begins   by   examining   weaknesses  in   our
     current  decision-making  processes,   on   the   political,
     economic,  and  social levels. Innovations needed to improve
     decision-making are suggested  and  explored,  with  special
     attention  to the role of new interactive media and personal
     computers in the flow of information and the  resolution  of
     disputes.    The  field  of "computer assisted negotiations"
     (CAN) is utilized as a central case study, and the  linkages
     between  decision-making  via  computers  and the democratic
     process are explored.
 
          TELECOMMUNICATIONS  APPLICATIONS   (Tom   Hargadon)   A
     practical  survey of new electronic communications media and
     their social impact on the world today:  computer  networks,
     satellite  communications,  teleconferencing, telecommuting,
     data bases, electronic banking.  What are  these  new  forms
     of  communication  and why are they so important?  Will they
     change society in the future as  drastically  as  television
     and  radio  have  changed  society  in the past? If so, how?
     What  do  you  need  to  know  about  these  new  media   to
     understand   and   succeed  in  the  strange  new  world  of
     electronic communications coming into being before our  very
     eyes?
 
          ONLINE JOURNALISM (Brock Meeks) This course    examines
     the growing field of online journalism and its  similarities
     to and differences from traditional    print     journalism.
     Available markets    for   electronic    journalists     and
     writers are explored.    Such   markets include   electronic
     publishing,    videotext    publications,   and   electronic
     magazines.  Techniques for writing for the videotext market,
     including digest techniques and writing to fit the format of
     an electronic publication, are studied.        The course is
     intended to give students a working knowledge of the field.
 
          ELECTRONIC  MARKETING  (Cynthia  Morgan)  This   course
     explores   new   marketing   and   promotion   opportunities
     available to retailers, corporations, and  entrepreneurs  in
     electronic  text media.  Issues include history of marketing
     in print and broadcast media, new  opportunities  opened  by
     on-line   services,   and   strategies  of  print/electronic
     synergy.  Case studies are employed  and  a  marketing  plan
     for a major electronic retail operation is developed.
 
          ONLINE  THESIS TUTORIAL (Paul Levinson) Open only to MA
     degree  candidates  who  have  completed  a  minimum  of  27
     credits,   this   Tutorial   must   be  completed  prior  to
     undertaking a thesis. The  complete,  detailed  proposal  is
     developed  with  the  assistance  of the Tutorial Supervisor
     and faculty advisor and is submitted to both  for  approval.
     Students   complete   their  theses  during  the  subsequent
     semester(s).
