Predict the Future with a No. 2 Pencil
All MC101s are invited to participate in the first-ever 'Back of the Scantron' media survey during the final exam.The medianote today and tomorrow will be about what you--the Mass Comm 101 students of Spring 2007--predict will happen to the various types of mass media over the next 10 years. Between now and next Monday, MC101s are encouraged to send me survey questions. Here is an example of the type of question I am looking for:
Will college textbooks be on paper in 10 years?
A. Yes. There will be little change.
B. There will be some paper textbooks and some digital textbooks.
C. Most students will have digital textbooks, but a few will be on paper.
D. Paper textbooks will be like vinyl records… a thing of the past.
Any student who sends in a usable question gets an hour of extra attendance credit. Any student who fills out the survey gets an additional two points on the final exam.
So if you've got a survey question, submit it by using the comments link.
