Honors College 499DZ - HonorsThesis- DigiComm & Soc 2

The Internet and social media have reshaped our understanding of basic information literacy and access to information, but how have these changes influenced our human behavior and the value we place on information in a country dedicated to supporting First Amendment principles? This course will examine the Internet from conception to Web 2.0, and the digital platforms that have developed to facilitate immediate interaction over the "spine" of the Internet. Students in this course will examine several aspects of contemporary digital communication as they develop their own Honors Thesis. (499-Seminar)
