Description:	Propaganda has evolved during the 20th century as a potent communication form, but what is it; how does it work?

Learning Goals:	In this course, students will: 1. Learn the historical and evolutionary nature of American propaganda along with the political, moral and philosophical implications of this communications practice. 2. More specifically, learn how propaganda is embedded in different media and campaign practices, such as political advertising, twitter feeds, speeches and other campaign practices. 3. Work in collaborative settings with regard to research projects and student presentations *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
