• COMM2160 Communication Research Methods (2022-23 Spring; 2023-24 Spring)
  • This is an introductory course designed to provide students with no prior training in social science research with an understanding and hands-on experience of the scientific research process. This course will emphasize the quantitative methods used by communication researchers to gather research evidence – the survey, experiments and content analysis. Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to evaluate different kinds of research and news report outputs, such as opinion polls, marketing and advertising reports, newspaper articles as well as academic papers. Moreover, students will have the ability to conduct research systematically from designing to implementation and finally reporting.
• COMM3193/ UGEC3635, Film, Television and Hong Kong Culture (2022-23 Fall; 2023-24 Fall)
  • This is a course on the ‘rise’ and ‘fall’ and the ‘re-emergence’ of Hong Kong culture. It focuses on the role of television and film in cultural formation and maintenance. Various movie and television texts will serve as the basis of discussion on the prominent features of Hong Kong culture. Lectures will be conducted in a problem-based approach, while tutorial, presentation, analytical writing, screening, critical thinking, and group discussion will be the core activities of the course.

• E2JOU001C Journalism Course (Level II): Introduction to Citizen Journalism
  • This course is designed to prepare secondary students in Hong Kong to work as local citizen journalists in the context of emerging personalised media. In the age of digital communication, personalized media devices have empowered citizens to be actively engaged in public affairs in their everyday life. On a daily basis, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in have turned to social network platforms, to express their views or report on various issues in an unprecedented scale and intensity. The interplay between citizen participation in public affairs and journalism in Hong Kong and Greater China is particularly acute, given the increasing controversies in issues such as public transportation, urban development, public health, and elections in recent years. It is therefore theoretically critical and practically important that students become aware of such journalistic practices and their impact on the structure and processes of social activism, political involvement and public life in general and in Hong Kong in particular.
