This means virtually everything said or presented is subject to critique. In fact, I pretty much require it. So, you must develop the skill to tell the difference between a fact and a theory. If I tell you there are about 1,700 daily newspapers in the United States or that A.M. radio is limited to 50,000-watt output in this country, these are facts that you then use to build or criticize a theory. If I tell you that people watch television simply to escape their otherwise dreary, boring lives, that's a theory.
Theories grow, mutate, expand and contract through challenge.
This class works best when varying points of view are presented. If you have any disability that might affect your performance in this class, please make me aware immediately, and, if you have not already done so, contact our ADA Compliance Officer in the Dean's Office so we may make reasonable accommodations.
