  • COMM 465: McLuhan's Global Village Media and Culture in the 21st Century

    3.00 Credits
    Roger Williams University

    Prerequisite: COMM 100, and junior standing or consent of instructorThis seminar course examines the media of the 21st century througha media ecological lens using deep readings in two of McLuhan'sworks, The Global Village and Understanding Media. Writtenin the latter half of the 20th century, McLuhan's works display aprescience that makes them relevant in this digital age. Will theInternet make us a global village? Or will it fragment our societies?What does it mean to be human in this age of digital mediatechnology? Readings in works by McLuhan scholars Paul Levinson,Robert Logan and others bring McLuhan's ideas into the 21stcentury.

    Roger Williams University

    Cross-Listed as BIO 331Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology Core Concentration andBiotechnology CertificatePrerequisite: BIO 200 and COMSC 110 or consent of instructorThe course reviews the fundamental concepts of molecular andevolutionary biology, with a focus on the types of questions that lendthemselves to computer analysis. In web-based exercises students willbecome familiar with they content and format of the most commonlyused databases and learn to query them with the associated searchengines. Some of the basic algorithms used to compare and ordersequence data will be presented, along with the programs that areused to evaluate the inferred patterns statistically and to present themgraphically. A weekly computer-programming lab will train studentsto write simple scripts to extract sequence information from databasesand to search for specific patterns within these data.
