8. Additional comments about how receptive students, faculty, and administration have been to media literacy curriculum:
1. Arizona State University
We’ve had the above listed courses for a long time, but the arrangement of some of them into a
concentration in new. Students appreciate the courses. Our own JMC faculty, however, is regrettably mixed—with some questioning the appropriateness of the more pop culture topis and courses. It’s frustrating. If you have remedies, I’d be anxious to hear them.. Nevertheless, the new concentration in our new curriculum has been accepted by our unit and our college and our university. We’re very pleased about that.
2. Bay de Noc Community College
The administration of my school has not been very receptive to a media arts degree. We have instituted Communications instead, for now, and will work on the entire ME degree next year.
3. Citrus College
The course transfers to California State University. This ensures its popularity.
4. City College of San Francisco
Our media literacy curriculum is integrated into every course that we offer. Students, faculty, and
administration all are very receptive and appreciative.
5. College of St. Catherine
Generally pleased with the level of awareness they have gained.
6. Dana College
Students very engaged, able to do rudimentary ideological criticism as sophomores! Course becoming popular, faculty and admin. not really concerned or interested at the course level. They trust us to design curriculum.
7. Drury University
Receptive but amid competition of other demands.
8. Endicott College
I did not have any trouble getting the new Media Literacy course approved through our curriculum committee review process. I am in the process of working with the education department to ensure more education students enroll. The course got great evaluations from the students. Faculty here have been really supportive. Administration has also been supportive. I have, however, had to educate people on what media literacy is; there is not much awareness at this school. Social impact of the media has always been “on the books”. I teach it from a media literacy/media studies perspective.
9. George Mason University
Students are very enthusiastic about this course.
10. Huntingdon College
Very.
11. Lindenwood University
Students are really interested in the topic and participate enthusiastically. I am also co-teaching a 8 week Media Literacy course at my local church. There are about 50-60 adults of all ages. This audience is exceptionally receptive and eager to learn.
12. Lock Haven University
The students majoring in J&MC are truly interested in critical studies. The Media Literacy seminar is taught to both majors and non majors. For this course, come non majors have difficulty accepting the importance of studying these topics. They seem to have been educated to believe that the mass media re pure entertainment and therefore unimportant. This attitude poses challenges, but it makes a good argument for the need for coursed in media literacy.
13. McPherson College
ID 100 is required of all first year students, as with all required courses, there are some student
who do not think they need this class. Some faculty from other disciplines, the sciences, for example, found this course challenging to teach the first time. Overall, though, it went well. We used the cooperative learning Creative Controversy technique to involve student and get them to think critically about the media.
14. Morehead State University
This is just one course within the Communication curriculum. It has been received very well as a part of general education and as many sections as are offered generally fill (50 per section.)
15. Muskingum College
Students have been quite receptive and are becoming quite facile with technology as they progress through credential course work. Faculty has been quite supportive but lack personal knowledge and expertise. They are, however, making progress. Administration is non-committal as long as it doesn’t cost money they seem to accept the course as educationally sound, not that I would want to speak for the administration.
16. Niagara University
It is a new curriculum with the theme of communicating for social justice. We are just beginning with this year’s freshman class.
17. Radford University
Not very receptive. Media Literacy should be a general ed requirement, but it isn’t. The professors in our dept. are very supportive, but they are biased. The course is well attended, but mostly by our majors. Most educators in higher education tend to take media literacy for granted, in my opinion, a major problem.
Students are generally receptive to these classes, and some are quite animated in their discussion of current media issues. The faculty realize the need for a critical examination of the media and the role it plays in the political-economic-cultural-cultural fabric of society. However we discontinued a concentration in critical studies approx. 5 years ago, after program review. Only a half a dozen selected this concentration out of 350 majors. The leftover courses are Media and Society, Media Literacy, Intercultural and International Communication and International Film Electronic Media. One of the reasons for this change was due tot he small number of tenured faculty members (4) to handle 350 undergrad students. We also pulled out of a jointly administered MS in Corporate and Professional Communication with the Dept. of Communication.
18. Rutgers University
The curriculum was delivered and designed by Robert Kubey. I’m providing information relevant
to his course.
19. Saint Michael’s College
Teachers are extremely receptive…many ask why ML is not part of mandated teacher preparation. Final projects affirm that teachers embrace ML and can easily integrate it into their existing curriculum. Administration is continuously impressed with student enthusiasm and support of ML. *This past summer I taught an art aesthetics and media literacy course as part of the teacher licensure program. It was a huge success and we have been asked to teach it again!
20. San Francisco State University
Very.
21. South Puget Sound Community College
Highly receptive
22. Southern Adventist University
Conisistently good student evaluations and generally positive feedback.
23. Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville
It has been a struggle. Many do not understand its utility, or why educators would be attracted to
it. This has led me to understand that the creation of media literacy program must also be coupled with educating administrators about why it is needed.
24. Southwest Missouri State University
Faculty and administration strongly support the curriculum. Students accept it and seem to like most of the courses.
25. St. Louis Community College
Students have had the option of signing up for the class, a few have done so. Now the class will be required for our comm. students and in the gen ed. Program. Faculty were very receptive to the idea of requiring the course, I was surprised and delighted. The administration did not object. Webster’s stance helped our folks see the benefit.
26. Trinity University
They consider us one of the better departments in the university, able to meld pre-professional
education and the liberal arts.
So far, very receptive. I find the student who have not yet picked their major particularly
interested.
27. Tyler Junior College
It is an elective, strongly recommended for student pursuing journalism emphasis in associate
degree and proceeding to journalism degrees at transfer institutions. Accepted locally and in state core curriculum as a humanities course.
28. University of Connecticut
Students very receptive and interested! Faculty soso, many don’t understand what ML is,
administration supportive, don’t really understand ML, however.
29. University of Hartford
Faculty—very receptive, especially in English, Sociology, psych, etc. No student reaction—the first time it is taught will be in March.
I believe that students are very receptive to this curriculum-the courses are packed and evaluations are positive. Most faculty and administration are quite receptive although a small number of faculty still cling to the notion that studying media and pop culture is not a serious or worthy academic pursuit. Some faculty are not particularly receptive to what I believe are the more politically challenging aspects of media literacy education.
30. University of Louisiana at Monroe
The course has been offered once. Because it is an elective and satisfies no requirements either as a general education course or towards a major, it attracted only 20 students on its first offering. The Dean of Liberal Arts is sympathetic to the idea of making it satisfy a humanities requirement, or perhaps even to make it a gen ed requirement within the college, but that has not yet been done. Those students who took the course rated it highly.
31. University of Massachusetts
Difficult to answer, since this is such a major focus of our program.
32. University of Missouri-Kansas City
They love the analysis of the media texts.
33. University of Nebraska at Omaha
Very receptive
34. University of Oregon
First, we don’t refer to ourselves as media literacy specialists, but rather as technology educators. Gary Ferrington, our media specialist, retired recently. Our student fight high standards for their use of technology-especially an emphasis on design of communication and appropriate use of the power of electronic tools. However, by the time they reach their 5th year, most are beginning to understand the importance of the skills we teach.
Students have thoroughly enjoyed the course and have often commented about the fact that they no longer view media s they did before the class. I’ve had several students go on to do additional study in media literacy education and two have written thesis based upon their independent work in the field.
35. Wayne State University
Since this course is aimed at classroom teachers, and gives them materials that they can use
immediately with their students, they are most enthusiastic. The emphasis is creating an informed viewer of television, which is always current.
36. Webster University
Students have been very receptive to the media literacy programs at Webster Univ.
37. Wesley College
The basic course, ME 130, has become a general aesthetics appreciation course for all students in the college. It is fundamentally a media literacy course but with an emphasis more on formalism than on political-economy of the media industry.
38. West Virginia Wesleyan College
There is come consideration of some type of a requirement of this type in our currently under
revision general studies program.
39. Western Carolina University
Our students seem to come to us with an inherent distrust of the media. They realize that the media
manipulate them, and they want to know how so they can better defend themselves.
40. Western Washington University
Students love it, once they take the course, but most students do not understand what the course
offers beforehand. Faculty tend to relatively indifferent and again generally fail to understand the
purpose of media literacy. Administrators also seem relatively indifferent. They certainly are not
throwing resources at us to teach the course more.
